Re: Who burns more than 18BTC to 1FuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXXXaAovLX and why?
⭐ Merited by vapourminer (6)
I'm still struggling to believe that that address is a burner address because to generate a wallet, a private key is needed as part of the process.
It took me only seconds to create a public address hat expresses my pacifistic standpoint: 1iDontLikeWarmongeringATALLWynvGaYou gave me an idea.
Do you think people would use if I created a tool that generates burn addresses based on a user input?
The user could enter some characters and the tool automatically generates a burn address.
I made a script to create by brute force the address that I mentioned in previous comments, but my idea was to cover all the characters, but you can adjust it to work as you want and then simply calculate the checksum.

return hex_str

invalid = {'0', 'O', 'I', 'l'}
res = ''

opts = {up, lo} - invalid
res += c if c in invalid else rnd.choice(list(opts)) if opts else c
