What do you mean inherent? I don't really understand how it works to be honest, I just thought it needed a very large amount of calculations and thus high amount of processing power. I really don't mind it taking ages as long as it works. I have tried using Midori but it eventually just closes. When I used chromium it would ask me to kill or wait every minute and after a few dozen times I just gave up. Perhaps I should just keep hitting wait?

That delay may be inherent to BIP 38. IIRC the first time I ran it on OSX+FF, FF froze (may have needed more CPU/memory than I had free at the time). Second time took "ages", but it worked.

Hi everyone, I have been using my raspberry pi as an offline paper wallet creator and recently wanted to try using BIP 38 using either bitaddress.org or bit2factor.org but it would always take ages (expected) and eventually crash. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to overcome this? Perhaps running it outside a browser or such? Thanks in advance!
