Thanks pointbiz. I created the Litecoin clone of bitaddress.org and wasn't planning to profit from it. So I left your donation address as is. Thanks for such a great site!

I personally reviewed the liteaddress.org fork at v2.3 and it's trustworthy.

when you did that, did you do a checksum you can share with us? because your 2.3 might not be the same as our 2.3.

Seems this guy (davidduckwitz.de) has removed the inadequate copyright note in the meantime, but he still sells the free software for 19 Euro in his web shop.

Moreover, there are plenty of embarrassing spelling errors everywhere on his pages, and his web design is very bad, which is funny because he advertises himself as a web designer. But I think this still does not give him the right to sell free software for his own benefit.

PS: This person seems to also have an account in this forum: user name "davidduckwitz", zero posts.

Summary: David Duckwitz, Fulda, Germany, Homepage davidduckwitz.de (hosted by 1und1.de), claims to be a web designer, however his own website shows a relatively disadvantageous web design, he does not write proper German as a matter of fact, he sells other people's (free) software as his own SW as a matter of fact.

(given all these facts it is difficult to refrain from using ..... words, but everyone can judge by him/herself - I feel sick for some completely unknown reason .............)

Example's of forks that are well done and respectful of the original copyrights and donation addresses

Hi pointbiz,

I super super super want to make sure I'm being respectful and complete with my forking and copyright notices. Can you please make sure I'm making proper attribution? I'm enormously thankful of your work, and each time I update my code I've got the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" running through my head.

https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/bitcoinpaperwallet/generate-wallet.html

Thanks and please feel free to let me know with total candor anything you'd like amended.

PS: the main/instructional website at bitcoinpaperwallet.com also credits bitaddress.org, see: http://cl.ly/image/3K2h362D3O26

All good. Your site is an example of how to do it right  Grin

FYI David Duckwitz translated your site into German and put it copyright under his name. At least he kept the donation addresses...

In addition to what I mentioned above. For the safety of end users of these JavaScript Wallet Generators be vary cautious when you use a fork... not everything is the real McCoy. Remember it's safer to download the HTML and run locally with your internet disconnected. Use firebug or Chrome developer tools to monitor the network calls and make sure no calls to external URLs are made.

Hey,

this guy http://www.davidduckwitz.de got a 1:1 copy of your script and writes down that his script is by "danielduckwitz"

Is that okay for you that other people use your code and claim that is theirs? He also sells is on the website for 18 euro



How is your copyright? Are you fine with that or not?

If you are not fine with that than you might write in this posting

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoinpresscenterorg-braucht-bitcoin-experten-die-deutsch-sprechen-200820

Copy his name and address and reply it in his thread. so his theft is written down there forever.


BTW: He changed the donation address to his own wallet. We should bust this moth********

He broke multiple laws in germany with that. "urheberrecht". And he SOLD you script for 18 EUR. Maybe you should  accept a donation of 10k€ in order to get his public address deleted in the forums... You have the right to do that.

I don't know what happened with the thread you pointed me too. I think the posts got deleted. Thank you for notifying me of this.
As a general notice what David Duckwitz has done is not okay with me. I ran a diff and essentially all he did was change the logo and then claim copyright over the complete work/page by removing my copyright from the footer and replacing his. He should have left my copyright and donation address. At least he has maintained the copyright notice within the source. He can copyright his own logo in his image file but he cannot claim copyright over the complete work.

Two summarize there is a copyright within the source code (the unrendered document) and also a copyright displayed in the rendered version. Both copyrights should be maintained when people fork. Those who make significant changes can add on their own copyright notices.

I have licensed this as an MIT license to encourage people to produce valuable forks. And also because the project relies heavily on MIT and BSD licenses from code I got from the projects of Stephan Thomas, Tom Wu and others. I've even noted in the footer that there is code from other people included in the project.

I'm waiting for the bulk generation of compressed public keys. The page already has this capability in the Wallet Details Tab.

Try the patch I just wrote.  It's a pretty straightforward change, especially since compressed support is nicely integrated into the core code.  You can download the html here.

That works. Thanks. I also got the vanitygen version that makes compressed keys. That one is faster (since it is compiled.)

Wouldn't it be nice if we had an option to generate and broadcast a transaction to Bitcoin network in a way as similiar as the one available at http://brainwallet.org/#tx ?

It might, but why not just use that one?  It needs a webservice to broadcast the transaction for it since there's no (widely-supported) way for a Javascript page to do low-level socket stuff necessary to get on the Bitcoin p2p network.  So, you could add a feature to bitaddress.org to broadcast a transaction through blockchain.info/pushtx if you want, but I don't see the point of duplicating that and making bitaddress.org more complex.

Dear developers and coders,

I would like to suggest an idea:

My SHA1 sums from the Git repo don't match what in the version history.
Any one else getting this?

What about a namecoin implementation of bitaddress.org ?
It would be very useful.

Wallet Verification.

I have a script here to verify online wallets. https://github.com/carbonwallet/walletverification

Basically the script downloads the wallet via the URL and then via cloning the repo and does a diff.

It's currently setup to work with carbonwallet but should be easy to add bitaddress.

In the end what I would like to see is a number of volunteers running the script via cron with perhaps a small PHP page that shows the output. Then we would have various places to check the integrity of all these repo based wallets.

Let me know what you think.

If anybody is interested or concerned about what kind of paper to print these on, I have done some quick research and ended up ordering this:
