Title: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: TYDIRocks on August 17, 2012, 01:33:24 AM Source is in OP please stop asking
Hello after using Vanitygen (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0) for the first time I realized that it could be fairly hard for users to import their newly found address, and I'll admit I had some troubles myself. So I decided why not create a program to make it easier for users? Following features: - Import private key - Add a label to it from the program Requirements: - Windows with .Net 3.5 installed (Tested on Windows 7) - Bitcoin client running with bitcoin.conf already configured. Please not that when you import your new key you will notice that Bitcoin may freeze for a minute or two, this is normal.

Last of all, PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK :) Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: Raoul Duke on August 17, 2012, 01:47:16 AM an .exe? To import private keys? Where is the source code?
Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: TYDIRocks on August 17, 2012, 01:49:23 AM an .exe? To import private keys? Where is the source code? It's coded in .net so that's why it's an exe. Is there a certain place you would like the source posted?

It's a bad idea to run closed source programs that interface with bitcoin. You can always use github or some similar service.

It's a bad idea to run closed source programs that interface with bitcoin. You can always use github or some similar service. I tried decompiling it, but it just couldn't pull code. This is about as far as my decompiler will let me go http://gyazo.com/f153e1ad603fcb756026ad7b3f195b86 Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: TYDIRocks on August 17, 2012, 02:38:02 AM I am in the process of setting up a Github account to post the source.
EDIT: Okay the source is in the OP.

Last of all, PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK :) How about pool mode so that 3rd parties can create the key for the user securely? - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.0 Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: TYDIRocks on August 17, 2012, 04:52:15 PM If I feel enough users use my program I will try to update it with bulk adding, a better gui and other requests. Last of all, PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK :) How about pool mode so that 3rd parties can create the key for the user securely? - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.0 I'll look into that. I mostly made this program to use with Vanitygen and make it simpler to import what was from there. Would I have to create a miner for this pool? Because I'll admit my .Net knowledge is not that advanced.

Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: phantastisch on August 22, 2012, 07:43:30 AM Works as advertised. Didn't even take more than 5 seconds. Thank you for this great little solution :)
Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: TYDIRocks on August 24, 2012, 04:26:16 PM No problem! Thanks for the reply and if you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me!
Title: Re: Add new address (private key) easily Post by: Bitsky on May 23, 2014, 07:48:33 AM Why not simply use the Bitcoin client? It already has the option to add private keys.
Help -> Debug window -> Console: importprivkey <privkey> Certainly this is better than some program created by a random person. |
