Title: Mass Hex Private Key -> WIF Private Key (Base58) Converter
Post by: P4trick on March 11, 2017, 02:52:54 PM
Hey guys,

is there any program that could do what's discribed in title?

So that I could input a file with a lot of hexadecimal private keys and get another file as output with these private keys converted in WIF (base58)? :)

best regards,

Pat

This would be very simple program.
I can write such program for you for 0.005 btc (~ $5)
Note: there are two WIF keys (classic and compressed) for one hexadecimal

Thanks for your fast answer. May I ask which coding language you would use? :)

Please send me your bitcoin address to send the bitcoins to via pm.
Could you even send the source code? :)

I'm sure he will.

However, if he sends you only a binary you should be VERY careful.  It could have hidden malware designed to steal passwords or bitcoins or altcoins while it's doing what you want.

Furthermore, if he sends you both source and a binary, you would be MUCH better off reviewing the source yourself (and/or having others review it for you) and then compiling it rather than trusting the binary.

I'm don't actually worry that amaclin will send you malware binaries, I'd expect someone to require source from me for the same reasons.  There's just no good reason not to send the source and no good reason to trust a binary in a situation like this.

I already sent a program yesterday.
Seems to me that after your post @P4trick will not pay me :)
So, you may take my program also: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/FR9c/duq629o2Y
(this is the same link and the same binary as I sent to @P4trick)

You clearly provided the source.

As such, it would appear that P4trick is a scammer that never intended to pay for your work.  He may be using my post as an excuse, but there is nothing in my post that indicates that he should refuse to pay you for providing the source code.

In the future, it may be a good idea to use a trusted third party to hold the payment until the work is completed.

I do not complain for $5  ;D
I am ready to help and teach those people who want to study themselves.
OK, my methods may seem questionable  ;D
But I have an ability - so I have a right.

And I am strongly disagree with your post to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=965228
This was our deal. This was not your risk.

I'm aware.  I don't always agree with the way you go about proving a point or your thoughts on theft of bitcoins, but you have impressive skills. You understand the protocol and operation of the reference client and several alternative clients very well, and appear to be a skilled programmer.

stealing bitcoins is like stealing a rainbow  ;D
