Title: [ANN] bitaddress.org printing of existing backups Post by: ErebusBat on August 31, 2012, 07:30:39 PM Whilst getting all my ducks in a row with wallet backups I could not find an easy way to backup WIF/SIPA keys with QR codes. Blockchain.info provides a paper backup, but they are not WIF and therefore will not import into armory (and I am assuming other apps).
My workflow, to give others an idea of how to use this:
You can access the code from my GitHub repository. Be aware that this will not currently work offline as it loads the CoffeeScript runtime. If there is sufficient need/interest I can change this. https://github.com/ErebusBat/bitaddress.org/tree/bci_nobills If you don't want to mess with GIT there is a live version here: http://bitaddress.batcavern.com/ http://puu.sh/10Ndk Known Issues

No, because it is just a webpage... however I can probably add the bitcoind JSON response to it pretty easy.Hrm... looks like my version of bitcoind doesn't have the dumpwallet command in it... I will need to look at my linux machine. Title: Re: [ANN] bitaddress.org printing of existing backups Post by: pointbiz on September 02, 2012, 09:05:00 PM Cool
