Similar to how the SHA256 hash competition exists to validate a transaction, I wonder if this concept can be ported to addresses, so that the first few characters is significant to a human reader.
Is there value in making a public key address start with human readable text?
What approaches exist to accomplish this? Must the key pair be re-generated continuously or there there space to place a nonce?
Could this cause legal issues? ...such as a key that contains text matching censored information which is replicated to countries that ban that information
1Yes, that part of the question was inspired from your master thesis. Great work, highly recommended reading! – goodguys_activate – 2012-09-19T12:19:08.153
