Let me tell you a bit about how this project came to be. Initially, I wanted to understand how crypto works, and, at the same time, I was looking for a unique gift idea for someone. I thought a paper wallet could be a cool, personal way to introduce them to crypto. I came across a site called bitaddress.org, but it used an legacy format, P2PKH, which has higher transaction fees and is somewhat outdated. So, I decided to build my own version — getcryptoaddress.github.io, which supports the newer Taproot standard. Later on, I added support for Ethereum, and even an editor feature… and you know. The project kept growing. And here we are — it works!
Right now, this project is just for me. I occasionally use it for my own needs, and about once a month, I log in to check on activity and then log back out. So, if there’s something you’d like to see added, just let me know — I’m open to implementing new features. It will be nice to know that I am not alone
Recently, I added a Content Security Policy to the site as a precaution, so that the browser will block any unauthorized requests, scripts, or styles. You never know when something could sneak in through a library. I rarely touch the code, so I also boosted test coverage to make updates less nerve-wracking (I have to admit, I get a bit anxious making changes since I’m a regular user too, haha). I also updated the libraries to the latest versions — well, most of them, anyway!
