About this artifact

Base58 vanity address by Matthew N. Wright, repeated ~12×: '1BitTaLkTVChristmasSpeciaLXXRix9Ea'. Read directly; a ~300× variant '11Bitta1ktvchristmasspecia1…' also exists on-chain.

How it was stored

Base58 inscriptions put text into the visible address string itself. The address must still satisfy Base58Check rules, including a checksum, so the text often uses substitutions and padding to make a valid-looking address.
