I created it while I was mining, 17 long prefix.
you do know that the hash algorithm used in mining (which is double SHA256) has nothing to do with the hash algorithm used in generating an address (which is RIPEMD160 of SHA256), right?
even if it was an altcoin mining, none of them use HASH160 algorithm for mining! in other words hashes that you compute during mining are not the same algorithm, nor same value nor even the same length.
Yeah sorry for confusing you, mining is totally unrelated I was just refferring to that period in time.
I have really really powerful processor, but still after some research I see that i was very lucky to find prefix that long. $20 seems super cheap now, tell me what to do guys, I am not really an expert
