Title: Problem with bitaddress on offline computer
Post by: jofus on February 08, 2017, 03:12:04 AM
Hello, when I run bitaddress on my offline computer it keeps generating wallets like this in the picture.  I changed resolution, browser size, browser magnification but nothing works. 

Please help :)

It's a laptop, 1080 x 720 I believe. It's better in real life, I don't know why the pic came out so grainy

Well I took my resolution down to 1024X 600 in both IE and Firefox and even zoomed in but I couldn't replicate the problem.

 What browser do you use?

Explorer. Yeah I don't think is a resolution problem, or a browser resizing problem becuase i also tried zooming out and resizing the window but nothing changes. I am opening from a downloaded version on a an offline comp.

Oh and please don't steal the coins from the wallet I had to show in the pic

The thought of stealing your coins didn't even cross my mind.  My parents raised me to respect the property of others.

If I were you, I would move any coins I put into that wallet asap.

haha, I was just kidding around.  I (would) never even used that wallet.

anyway i downloaded portable firefox and threw it on the usb, installed it on the air gapped machine and opened the bitaddress in there and viola, it worked.

Good to know you found a work-around but I'm still wondering what could have caused that strange behaviour.  There must be someone else on this forum who has experience something similar.

It must have something to do with the IE I am guessing.  I think it is windows 10 that I was using and I haven't used it before and was already finding it quite annoying.
