Is printing safe on linux?
If you use a live cd it is and your printer doesn't store print jobs in memory.

I am pretty sure that printing on windows is not secure as the print spooler saves temporary files which don't get (properly) deleted. Is printing safe on linux?
It would be cool to have a random suggestion for a pass phrase (maybe diceware words).

I don't see the dice tab yet. Maybe it's not yet uploaded?
You just enter 99 digits 0-5 in the details tab to get the private key and address.

Just a thought.
As far as i understand, we add extra randomness with mouse movements and add that to the secret_seed.
If there would be an extra tab for "Secret seed", we could have many options, for example:
- mouse movements
- random keyboard input
- B6 (33x3 dice roll)
- etc...
So, user could enter whatever he/she wishes and then click "Create Secret Seed".

Seems pretty technical but many seem to like the site so I will do some reading and hopefully become a user myself once I have an understanding of the general process to acquire an address kudos on the work you done on the site.

v2.6.2 support input of a private key in base6 format which shall be defined as:
99 characters (1,2,3,4,5,0) where 1=1 and 6=0
This allows you to create a private key with physical randomness with 99 rolls of a die. Use 3 dice and do 33 rolls.
Then enter the 99 character string into the wallet details tab of bitaddress.org and you've got yourself a truly randomly generated bitcoin wallet.

Unless someone reads the changelog the average user will not know what B6 means at the details tab. Perhaps a little explanation would be useful to explain the procedure for creating a B6 key.
On second thought, I think having a "dice wallet" tab would be more clear and match the rest of the website functionality.

My wish list for bitaddress.org:
1) The QR codes are non-standard. This is a recent change, as they used to be good.
The QR Code standard says that there's supposed to be a "Quiet Zone" (whitespace) around the QR code, of 4 blocks, I believe. But in Firefox (at least), bitaddress.org writes text adjacent to the QR code.
2) When generating addresses, it'd be nice to also generate a signed message confirming that the private key is ok. For example, a simple signed message saying "This message is signed by the private key calculated for the bitcoin address 1933phfhK3ZgFQNLGSDXvqCn32k2buXY8a" could be used online to verify that the private key actually works (without copying the private key).
I love this site!

Thanks for your responses and all your work on bitaddress.org.
I'm getting ready to generate a batch of public-private key pairs for long term cold storage. If I boot my system to an Ubuntu LiveCD, can I just use the bitaddress.org .html file by itself, or do I need to include the other java-related files to generate functional, secure key pairs?

There are no dependencies so you'll only need the html file.
Thanks for the response -- can pointbiz confirm this?

Single out the html file on your own and run it in your browser and you'll see that it still works the same

Thanks pointbiz, that's what I was afraid of, I should have just bought a cheap notebook it seems! I was just hoping maybe there was a way of segmenting it or something where it would be easier to handle at once, but I suppose it would take too much effort to program that just so it could work on low level computers, especially since it already works relatively quickly on modern smartphones.

I have asked this all over, so sorry for that, but one last time: Is there a way to make this work on the raspberry pi? Everytime I try it either hangs or doesn't finish even within 5+ hours of waiting. Is there a way to calculate how long it should take knowing the raspberry pi (version B) specs? I'm talking about using the BIP 38. Thanks!
I don't know. It takes a lot of RAM and other resources for BIP38. Mobile phones and Raspberry Pi's might choke.

Where can I find the SHA-1 for version 2.6.1?
At this time I only sign SHA1 hashes for versions that go on the bitaddress.org website.
Thanks for the response. I was trying to find a download link for 2.6.0 then but could not find one... I'm probably just missing it, apologies in advance for the stupidity of asking.
It was actually a good question for some reason github only makes zips available for the newest version of the branch.
This is a link to the raw HTML for the commit for v2.6.0
