Topic: [ANN] bitaddress.org Safe JavaScript Bitcoin address/private key - page 33. (Read 153479 times)

Just started fooling around with testnet a bit for a project I have in mind...tried creating some addresses, but bitcoind (running on testnet) won't import the private keys generated by bitaddress.org.  Testnet private keys begin with 9, but the ones returned by bitaddress.org begin with 5 (same as for mainnet):



Likewise, the keys in my bitcoind wallet (or keys generated with vanitygen -T) can't be brought into bitaddress.org.

I can verify that the BitAddress.org website has been updated and returns the same HTML from the latest commit (31433898c7b984ff532bd8f24a286ba5e6426e1e) in github:
 - https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org


To confirm this I first check the sha1sum hash of the html returned by a request to http://bitaddress.org:

$ wget --quiet -O - http://bitaddress.org|sha1sum
97d52a44eeb261e2398e98e1eed2bd56b99c845a  -

Then from my bitaddress.org repo:

$ git pull
$ git rev-list --max-count=1 HEAD
31433898c7b984ff532bd8f24a286ba5e6426e1e

$ sha1sum bitaddress.org.html
97d52a44eeb261e2398e98e1eed2bd56b99c845a  bitaddress.org.html

I have rebased to your latest version. Give it a try.

To test out download vanity generator from:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanitygen-vanity-bitcoin-address-generatorminer-v022-25804

Then create a new key on the tab. Keep the private key safe.
Then run:
oclvanitygen.exe -P PUBLICKEYFROMABOVE 1prefix

This with after some time return a private key.
If you then put this private key and the one you originally generated into the bitaddress.org page it will then
generate the actual private key in WIF and confirm that the address is the one that starts with the prefix you want.

In a vanity pool someone else would run the oclvanitygen for you.

PM'd you code for free silver coin

I'm doing orders right now so if you order now it will be prepared right now

Thanks for the awesome work!

 - Paper Wallet Tab: Art wallet is now the default.
 - Paper Wallet Tab: The PNG has been resized to fit better into physical wallets when printed.
 - Paper Wallet Tab: The PNG has been rendered using the Ubuntu font.


Looking forward to that shiny silver 
Thanks for the fun project!

why dont u go to kinkos and laminate them?

Someone should sell archive paper you can print these wallets on for longer term storage. I would buy some for btc 

Oh, nice. Thank you. Will do.

The wallet art work is public domain. Look in Casascuis banknote thread for the link to the SVG and PSD.

What is the copyright/licensing on the art? If I wanted to use it an open source project would that be a problem? Is a vector version available somewhere that could be used for rendering at a different resolution? Thx.

Yes definitely smaller if you think it's too big- I haven't printed any to test but even my own program generates big notes.

Ubuntu font is a free download, give it a google.

Yes I can default the Art.

I don't have Illustrator or Photoshop. I will try to grab the SVG from your file for the text you have already converted. I assumed it was using Ubuntu because on my system it was using a different font.

I have printed a sheet with two notes. Each note is rather large and won't fit nicely into physical wallets. Should we maybe make it less pixels high and less pixels wide?

Awesome job!

I have one minor request: can the Art be the default, and the checkbox be "Hide Art"?

Also, the Ubuntu font didn't come through on the PNG.  (The font dependency can be removed by converting the text to "outlines", essentially shapes, before doing the conversion... in Illustrator it's just right click and "convert to outlines"... not sure what it is in other tools).

If you can fix these two things and publish them at the bitaddress.org URL (at /, rather than /something), a 10 BTC silver round with free shipping is awaiting you! (your choice, plated or non.)  I will PM you a code and a link.

VanityGen is a program for Linux, Windows and Mac. The forum thread is here,
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanitygen-vanity-bitcoin-address-generatorminer-v022-25804

Partial key support was added about 2 months ago. It allows generating addresses/keys without having access to the key. There is a few threads discussing it's use for third party services and vanity mining. Also, my thread today about using split keys for paper wallets across two systems, here,
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/idea-for-highly-secure-paper-wallet-using-split-keys-114074

I'd love to see nibor's,  or some version, supported that allows printing paper wallets using split keys. In my thread I do have a post showing how this could be done step by step using vanitygen and keyconv (that comes with vanitygen). The vanity aspect of this isn't required. Using a search prefix of "1" will generate a fully random address.

BTW Just looked at the new art paper wallet. Look's awesome. Very nice! Thanks.
So sad my printer is junk and won't make any of this look good.

edit: it worked fine with default 2 addresses per page but when I tried 3 per page, 6 total it did some funky stuff. I ended up with garbled display but the print preview looked good - except still 2 per page with the third one on a second page, and 2 sets of 2 pages. So I guess it rolled the third on to a second page as it wouldn't fit. I'm using FF 15.0.1 on Ununtu 11.04. I also have default paper set at A4. I'd like to be able to fit 3 per page but seems predefined wide margins make that impossible. Looks great otherwise.

v1.7
https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v1.7-SHA1-46215e8a2f026b784f29ea86c00c866e634a22fa.html
 - Paper Wallet Tab now has the option to print an artistic wallet. Current implementation uses an embedded PNG. This feature is not supported in IE8.
 - Brain Wallet Tab now has passphrase confirm and show passphrase options.

I saw on github you are still making changes. I will consider adding your tab. Could you also merge with the newest version v1.7 ?

I'd like to give this Vanity Address thing a try... do you have a link that would guide me through the process?
Who do I contact to find the vanity address?

Have added a pull request for the Vanity Address Tab to Git:
https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/pull/3

Any chance of someone to reviewing it?
Is trival, just 126 lines added and one changed.

Hazek is on a cleaning spree.
