Can you do 9 letters?

Did you read OP Huh

4 prefix characters are easy to find, 5 is okay too, but 6 (case insensitive) is the limit for this giveaway (and please don't ask for 111111, it is not possible)

I tried with 7 prefixs, and it took more than 10 hours, so 9 prefixs is impossible, please read carefully before you request something from others.

Yes i Did read OP, the OP is 2 years old, things changes.

I've asked the question because DarkStar_ offered a 8 letters for a small fee.
So maybe a 9 letter isn't that expensive.

9 prexis isn't impossible, it is just very expensive.

What type of fees are we talking (obviously this can't be a giveaway)

We're talking rediculous fees on my hardware Tongue

Quote

1alexandre or 1ALEXANDRE or a mix of upper and lower

Lower case l isn't possible, but the time requirement also depends on the first character. Case insensitive, 1ALEXANDRE takes 3 weeks for 50% chance on my hardware. But (still case insensitive) 1zLEXANDRE for instance takes 1.7 years for 50% chance.

disclaimer : I don't want "alexandre" but another 9 letters name, I will share this via PM upon agreement on address cost.

You're best chance is probably hiring a VPS with GPU (or multiple GPUs), some of them have hourly rates. I think a good one will be 2 orders of magnitude faster than my hardware, so that should make it much faster. You can still use split key, so your VPS provider won't have access to the private key.
Alternatively, if you happen to have a long list of 9 letter words, finding 1 out of 1000 makes it (about) 1000 times faster to find the first one. You just won't know which one comes first (that's how I found 1NewbornSeat for instance).

In my opinion, case insensitive addresses don't look good at all. I have 1FAUCEtSUck for instance, and it would be worse if the start of the word has mixed case too.

Ok, well I tried.
And now that you said it, I do want a case sensitive address.
It would look silly if it had lower and upper case.

However, I am screwed.
My name has "L" that can't be lower.
But it also has a i that can't be upper

I am doomed to not have my name.
Thanks for the answers.
