USE WITH CAUTION AND UNDERSTANDING

btc-vanity is a tool designed to assist users in generating customized vanity Bitcoin addresses using the Rust programming language. While btc-vanity aims to provide a secure and efficient method for generating vanity addresses, it is essential to exercise caution and follow the best security practices.

1. Security Awareness: Generating and using vanity addresses involves the creation of private keys and public addresses. Private keys grant control over the associated Bitcoin funds.

2. Risk of Loss: Improper use of btc-vanity, mishandling of private keys, or failure to follow security guidelines may result in the loss of Bitcoin funds. Always double-check the addresses generated and verify their accuracy before using them for transactions.

3. Verification: Before utilizing any vanity address generated by btc-vanity, thoroughly verify the integrity of the software and the generated addresses. Only use versions of btc-vanity obtained from reputable sources, such as the official crates.io page.

4. Backup and Recovery: Maintain proper backups of your private keys and any relevant data. In the event of device failure, loss, or corruption, having secure backups will help prevent irreversible loss of funds.
