20 btc reward for anyone that can assist me here;

I created an offline BTC wallet using a saved version of bitaddress.org html (version 2.76) on an offline macbook air using google chrome version 32.0.1700.77

I did the randomization it generated a new address I saved the public address and sent some coins to that public address, in the next minute or so I hit "generate new address" by accident and it created a new wallet. I didn't save the private address but already sent the coins to that wallet. Is there any way to retrieve the previous address data? Is it saved in RAM anywhere or perhaps in the java?

Whoever can assist me in this will have 20 btc shipped to them immediately.

Regards

is this still a safe wallet / way to generate keys offline?

Yes.

Hello, does this version only create Legacy addresses? Are there any plans to update the website to produce BECH32 addresses?

Another question is: Does this version, in the "Brain Wallet" tab, mean that it is compatible with BIP39?
Thanks.

My comments are above.

If you used version 2.7 or newer nothing to worry about.

Looks like some bitaddress wallets might be vulnerable to "randstorm" vulnerability in BitcoinJS lib. Anyway bitaddress.org is named here:

https://www.unciphered.com/blog/randstorm-you-cant-patch-a-house-of-cards

Something that bitaddress users might want to check into.

Hey Boomdev.

Hey how did you add designs to the bitcoin paper wallet? I wanted to add some designs. THANKS!

Quote from: sam00 on November 06, 2021, 11:44:59 AM

I've gifted a few paper wallets so far and would love to have a few new designs.

I'm so sorry if I accidentally seem rough because this topic is about the bitaddress.org

But I will give a small answer:
I'm in the process of developing a paper-wallet editor where you can create your own design:
https://getcryptoaddress.github.io/paper-wallet-editor/

Right now I'm having some issues with saving images using a mobile device https://github.com/bubkoo/html-to-image/issues/420
But it properly works on a desktop

When I fix this, will debug the project and test it, then I'll create a new post
At the moment it's a beta version
If necessary, I will add import and export designs.

Thanks

Hello, I made an encrypted bitcoin wallet on bitaddress.org. I have the password but I have no clue how to decrypt it. Any clue anyone?

Bitaddress.org uses (optional) BIP38 encryption. You can use the same website (offline and air-gapped of course) to decrypted your private key (which should start with 6P), or some wallets can do it for you.

Actually, there are some very good methods of selecting an arbitrator. For example, each party submits 3 arbitrators, from which one is chosen by the other party. The two arbitrators select a third. The panel of three decides (2 of 3) from between solutions submitted by each party without alteration as to what funds are released to what party. This prevents a "splitting the baby" compromise.

When a BitCheque is purchased from the issuer (me), guarantee funds are locked up for a specific time period and/or until it is redeemed. If an unopened BitCheque is emptied of funds, this would indicate fraud or carelessness on the part of the issuer, and trigger arbitration - if the issuer does not promptly compensate the holder.

This type of contract can be written in Solidity or possibly a taproot layer.

Anyone interested?

A paper wallet can be traded as bitcoin, and hold its value as bitcoin until redeemed.

I've done that, but it only works with people you trust. It's the classic: "not your keys, not your coins" problem where you can't ever be sure you're the only owner.

Quote

The objective is tradable BitCheques with the private key accessible only to the holder.

My point is: the holder can't possibly be sure he's the only one with access.

Quote

Requiring 2 of 3 signatures to redeem them (the holder, the issuer, the arbitrator selected by both) is another possibility.

Nope, it doesn't solve it. You want the paper wallet to be tradable, but now know for sure the issuer and the arbitrator (selected by someone else!) can take your funds.

Quote

Or the issuer could escrow the BitCheques up to the maximum amount on the BitCheque for a limited time - governed by an escrowed smart contract - at which point another BitCheque could be issued if any doubt remains.

"Smart contracts" usually mean nobody understands the details.

On the Collectibles board, Casascius physical Bitcoins are often sold. The creator was (and is) highly trusted, but fake coins are used to scam people. Once it's something physical, counterfeiting becomes a problem again.

I assume the legal tender is definded as Bitcoin the way we know it, and not as Bitcoin in the form of some printed piece of paper that can be traded. That would make it a private form of money instead of legal tender.

Bitcoin is bitcoin. A paper wallet can be traded as bitcoin, and hold its value as bitcoin until redeemed.

Quote from: LoyceMobile on May 13, 2022, 05:05:24 AM

~ the Bitcoin Standard: let's take El Salvador as an example, and let's assume they implement a Bitcoin Standard. Instead of holding 10 tonnes of gold, they hold 19,348 Bitcoin (worth about the same as 10 tonnes of gold). The can now issue banknotes, let's call them ElSalvos, worth 19,348 Bitcoin. If they issue 1 billion ElSalvos, each Elsalvo is worth 0.0193mBTC. At the El Salvador Central Bank, you can exchange your ElSalvos for Bitcoin if you want.

Quote

But this assumes a trusted party (and a government is trusted by force), and there's no need to print private keys on banknotes.

That's the point. A custodial account requires trust in a third party. The objective is tradable BitCheques with the private key accessible only to the holder. Unlike fiat, the only role of the State is to refrain from preventing the trade.

Requiring 2 of 3 signatures to redeem them (the holder, the issuer, the arbitrator selected by both) is another possibility.

Or the issuer could escrow the BitCheques up to the maximum amount on the BitCheque for a limited time - governed by an escrowed smart contract - at which point another BitCheque could be issued if any doubt remains.
