Topic: bitaddress.org legit? (Read 1012 times)
You should download the code and generate offline.
I'm going to be creating a paper wallet and stumbled across this and I'm wondering weather it's legit or not does it keep any thing which I input on there?
To know that site legit or not you can follow these methods given below:
You can read user reviews, problems, their quires, responses and rating about the site in http://webutation.net
You can also do a whois search in the site WhoisXY.com and know the owner, technical, administrative contact details etc.. you can use the phone number or email id which you get in whois search and try to contact the person and clarify your doubts.
If the site has SSL certificate it is good site for transactions. SSL certificate enabled site looks like https://paypal.com.
They are legit as far as know.
That would suck real bad, for all the all generated address it pumped out.
I suggest the same, look into doing it offline. If anyone can link the dude on how to do this, that would help.

bitaddress is legit ... no problems that ive heard of.
Unless the site is hacked like mentioned before.

Your wallet is safe as long as you are acting safe.
When downloading, get the version from github, and then verify the hash with that given on the site. Unfortunately the releases are not signed, so it is conceivable if the whole site was hacked, replacement of the original site could be hard to detect.
Here is a paper wallet generator written in Python with some liveCD boot notes in the first post.

Bitaddress offline is perfectly fine
bitaddress is actually the recommended thing to use in the blockchain.info guide so I would trust it.
Surely not!
Seriously? Care to explain a bit?
IMHO, bitaddress is legit, and many have checked the code...
Of course, as nomnomnom suggested, it would be even better if you run it off-line
bitaddress is legit, but download the site html to an usb stick and
then create the wallets on offline system (live cd or whatever)

Thanks for that suggestion I will do that way they can't see any of my details I'll check the source of the html too just in case some php is hiding in there.

I'd avoid the website ones and create them offline on your own computer.
