vanity-miner.cpp RNG vulnerable. User lost coins.
Many users are very interested in vanity address because it is cool.
According to this thread http://8btc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=258246&page=1#pid1904650
A Bitcoin user generates a vanity address using this program and lost his coins.
As his description, in the same transaction, there are other vanity addresses involved.
// random_device on Linux uses "/ dev/ urandom"
// CAUTION: Depending on implementation this RNG may not be secure enough!
// Do not use vanity keys generated by this example in production
Even the above CAUTION is written in the code, I think there should be more measures and warnings to prevent users from making mistakes and losing coins.
Thanks.
