Title: Client-side paper wallet generator with seed? Post by: Brybtc on August 13, 2016, 05:46:49 PM Is there something like that?
I found a few repos where you can run the web generator client-side but they don't give you a seed to rebuild your wallet like electrum does Title: Re: Client-side paper wallet generator with seed? Post by: achow101 on August 13, 2016, 05:48:37 PM The seed is for a heirarchical deterministic wallet. It is used to generate multiple keys. Paper wallets are just one key, thus there is no seed. If you want some sort of "seed" for a private key, then you need to use a brainwallet. However, I highly recommend against this since brainwallets are insecure, especially when the user has to think of the word to use as the seed.
