I spy only an unconfirmed transaction from today at that address. Electrum might not be able to sweep unconfirmeds with CPFP, only sweep confirmed TXs.

I've tested many ones, here for example https://blockchain.info/address/19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz
Transaction confirmed. I have very old ones with bitcoins stored on those.

HELP NEEDED

I have generated a bunch of BIP38 encrypted addresses with the tab "BULK WALLET" of bitaddress html under the same password on the machine that is not connected to the internet. Then I transferred some coins on the first 3 of them to run a test of sweeping them into electrum wallet.

I have decrypted all 3 wallets and used Private Keys (WIF51 characters base58, starts with a '5') to sweep them into Electrum. The first one swept well, but then the others would not sweep. Electrum says that they are empty. I tried importing them into blockchain.info wallet but it also says that they are empty.

When I check public address it shows that the wallet contains bitcoins
https://blockchain.info/address/19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz

This same public address is displayed on "Wallet Details" tab in bitaddress.org when I decrypt private key.

PRIVATE ADRESS: 6PnSSP9UiDEjFfRW2R2hsu9Wuk4xviMdsitF1vVahTdK2vRoCQfvFesjih
PASSWORD: 3,452s.Km;x%D7I(K)
I don't care if the coins will be moved away, but I really need to figure out how to get access to my wallet.

Can anyone help please?

Gregory Maxwell says:
The common libraries they have used have had a long and worrying series of mathematical flaws that cause them to occasionally generate addresses that do not match the private keys, and were completely without the sorts of test that would have detected these mistakes
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6ss91w/seriously_how_are_you_all_generating_your_private/dlf4uhr/

dooglus mention the same issue here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16941686

Is "Wallet details" in bitaddress sufficient test to make sure address is valid? or should you import the private key in something like bitcoin core and sign/verify it? other options?

Coinomi wallet supports bitcoin cash and it has a function to sweep a paper wallet (import private key).
Coinomi is a mobile app that supports many coins. I use it on my Android phone. I think it has been ported for PC too.
Facts about the fork as I understand it:
The way addresses are formed is the same in bitcoin and bitcoin cash. That didn't change.
The two chains are different in the way they put transactions into blocks.
If you have BTC from before the fork in a wallet where you control the private keys, here is the standard advice on how to get bitcoin cash without accidentally having a replay/playback mishap that could cause you to lose your bitcoins:
1) Send the BTC to a new BTC address using your bitcoin wallet. Doesn't matter if it's a light wallet or a full node, just has to be a Bitcoin transaction done in a Bitcoin wallet according to the standard Bitcoin protocol. Your bitcoins are now safe and sound in a new address.
2) Import the private key from the OLD BTC address into a bitcoin cash wallet.
This works because transaction (1) was not entered into a block on the bitcoin cash chain.

I've described it as if you are sending from a single address, but it would work the same for an HD wallet with multiple addresses, if the bitcoin cash wallet can import an HD privkey. I haven't used Coinomi to import a paper wallet and I'm not sure if it works with single address keys, HD privkeys, or both.

Anyone know if this can be used for BCC/BCash the exact same way as it was used for BTC? Or were there some changes that make it incompatible?

Right now a Paper wallet seems to be the only cold storage option available for Bitcoin Cash.

Secondly, whats the method of sweeping the coins? Since services such as Blockchain.info don't support Bitcoin Cash, seems the only way would be to do a full sync of the Bitcoin Cash wallet?

I am almost sure that you can do for both, since BCC is basically Bitcoin with a few changes.

The only part you need to pay attention is in which side of the chain you are sending the coins to the address, making it a BCC or BTC paper wallet.

I just tried using the current version of bitaddress.org on both chrome and firefox, and neither of them work any more for me.

I wiggle the mouse until the entropy collection reaches 100%, and then nothing happens. The screen stays full of the green dots I have drawn.

The console says: "TypeError: ninja.unitTests is undefined[Learn More]" in Firefox, and - ugh - just started working again in Chrome. I tried a few times and it failed. Now I tried one more time to copy/paste the error messages and it worked!

Hiya,

Can anyone advise me on how I can send the bitcoins from my wallet generated by bitaddress.org ?

I have been reading online for a few hours now and cannot find any recommended way of doing this.

Sending the coin anonymously would be preferred if possible.

Thanks in advance
Xirus

Use Electrum, Mycelium or any other Bitcoin wallet which can import a Bitcoin address.

This address generator is great. I used it to print off Bitcoin wallets. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to print of Litecoin wallets though?

I have no problem using lite address.org, but when I download the zip file, it just gives me Bitaddress that is used for Bitcoin, not Litecoin.

Is there a link somewhere I can download the litecoin address generator so that I can generate offline?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm fairly new to PKI, so bear with me please.

I have a couple of questions about verifying the signed message.

Quote from: pointbiz on September 11, 2011, 08:23:01 PM

...

Verifying the release:
1) get public key of author
2) import public key of author
3) get HTML from bitaddress.org
4) sha1 checksum of HTML
5) verify signed message from author
6) confirm sha1 in step 4 & 5 matches
NOTE: If the web page is saved as "web page complete" as opposed to "web page html only" the checksum will not match.

Code:

wget http://www.bitaddress.org/ninja_bitaddress.org.txt
gpg --import ninja_bitaddress.org.txt
wget http://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v2.9.1-SHA1-67b1facd70890aa9544597e97122c7a1d4fdc821.html
sha1sum bitaddress.org-v2.9.1-SHA1-67b1facd70890aa9544597e97122c7a1d4fdc821.html
wget -qO- http://www.bitaddress.org/pgpsignedmsg.txt | gpg -d

...

It appears to me that 'gpg -d' is an instruction to gpg to decrypt the file argument.

1) Why is it necessary to decrypt the message when I can read it perfectly as it is?
2) Why is there no mention of 'verify' in this step's command (step 5)? I was expecting to use one or other variation of '--verify'. Please clarify.

Thanks for any feedback.

Question 1: So which of them is guilty? I think it is the second (v2.0.17) and not v1.4.13, because v2. is newer than v1. (?)

Question2: My expectation was that the "PGP SIGNATURE" in the actual message on https://www.bitaddress.org/CHANGELOG.txt.asc is the same like the PGP Signature in the blocks above. But this "PGP SIGNATURE" is again different:

Code:

Can you help me please.

Edit:
Nevertheless I tried the following:

1. As in https://www.bitaddress.org/CHANGELOG.txt.asc at the top you write "Hash: SHA1" I asume, that you did generate a SHA1 Hash of this message.
2. So I went http://hash.online-convert.com/sha1-generator.
3. Into the filed "Or enter URL of the file where you want to create a SHA1 hash:" I entered "http://hash.online-convert.com/sha1-generator" (this is the message)
4. I clicked the button "convert file"

My expectation was, that I now will get some of the PGP SIGNATURE in the code windows above. But what I got is the following:

Code:

hex: 15f511b73d9a9aa54a76ae107585dc6075c70fd0
HEX: 15F511B73D9A9AA54A76AE107585DC6075C70FD0
h:e:x: 15:f5:11:b7:3d:9a:9a:a5:4a:76:ae:10:75:85:dc:60:75:c7:0f:d0 
base64: FfURtz2amqVKdq4QdYXcYHXHD9A=

None of this output is the same, as one of the above PGP Signatures.

Question 3: What do I make wrong?

According to
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key#Range_of_valid_private_keys
all numbers from 0x1 to 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4140 are valid private keys.

When I go to "Wallet Details" and type in the field "Enter Private Key" the following numer: 1

Why is there a message "It is not a valide private key." (?)

Assuming you are using hex, then that "1" that you typed in is the number 1 out of a space of only 16 possibilities.
The (unextended) private key has a space of 2^256 possibilities (actually a bit less, as you posted), which is why the private key range you posted has 64 hex characters.
To use the number 1 as a private key, it has to be expressed as 1 out of 2^256 possibilities.
In hexadecimal, that would be 63 zeros followed by the numeral 1.
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001

P.S. um, don't use that as the private key

P.P.S. Sometimes the words "private key" are understood in context to mean the private key in Wallet Import Format (WIF), which is a different animal, not expressed in hex at all, but in base58 check encoding.

Very blummin nice! It has been quite some years since I even looked into, let alone involved with (since the Mt Gox debacle) since I am clueless of where to buy or sell bitcoins in an easy and legit bank-like manner (not some ebay bidding trading kind of site, so if you know of any good ones in the UK please let me know. I would like to dip my toe back into BTC as a user not a miner)

I would like to request you add an option to the paper wallet section to make some kind of cover to prevent someone seeing through an envelope. Kind of like how pin numbers for credit cards have random wavy lines and things right up against the pin to make it way hard or maybe even impossible to detect the info. It would be nice if there were some kind of thing like that, which you can sandwich face to face with the actual page to protect the QR codes through an envelope?

Just an idea.

Amazing system you have made. I was at first annoyed thinking it was a system making me dependent on going to a website but now I know it is offline and I have it saved I am very very happy indeed :-)

To be safe It is highly recommend using this software on a computer that is offline, and stays offline.

That wouldnt help against all attacks. E.g. the code could be altered in a way to use only a specific section of all possible keys. Thus they would appear random, while they not actually are. If you want to make sure you are not fucked, read the code or trust in others that have done so.

Download from github for the most security. Random number generator is fine it's been peer reviewed.
