Title: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: OmegaStarScream on April 25, 2017, 06:20:55 AM I remember seeing a website where you could do multiple stuff such as creating brainwallets (I know Its not recommended), typing your wallet seed and give you the details such as address, private keys, convert PK to public addresses etc... I don't remember the website anymore but I believe It was bip39.org (but not working). The website must be clearly open source.

Is it this one, by any chance? https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ or https://github.com/bip32/bip32.github.io Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet?

If you had to compare the second with the first, what would you choose in terms of security and stability? I don't want to use something buggy. Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet?

Im on my phone, so i cant write a long response, but i think you need the second one (bip32) for brain wallet creation. Its unsecure though, but you already know this ;) Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: OmegaStarScream on April 30, 2017, 08:53:54 AM A secure brainwallet will be a software generated 24 random seed (BIP39), with paper copies as backup. You can use a seed generated by a hardware wallet (e.g Trezor, Ledger Nano S). Memorize the 24 words, and you have a brainwallet! I was actually speaking about the service "brainwallet.org" which was closed by the owner and not about the type of wallet Itself. I know that a brainwallet generated by human is somehow weak compared to the software generated one. I'm only planning to use the site posted above for an easy export of private keys using the seed from different wallets (Electrum etc.). Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: HCP on April 30, 2017, 09:53:12 PM Then yes... you want: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/
I have used that successfully for converting seeds to private keys... You may also want to look at the offline version of: https://www.bitaddress.org/ The github and zip links are at the bottom of the page, if you don't want to be typing private keys and passphrases into some random server ;) Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet?

Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: xhomerx10 on April 30, 2017, 11:14:45 PM https://brainwallet.io/
wait that's not it I'll find it! Is it this one you're looking for? http://bip32.org/ Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: OmegaStarScream on May 01, 2017, 06:18:58 AM Why the DIY when you can get a hardware wallet cheap? I believe you already contributed to a thread I made about Ledger Nano S and the shipping issue I faced. Anyway, I'm not not looking for an alternative to make a brainwallet but instead, to be able to export private keys from other wallets using the seed (Electrum, Blockchain.info, Mycelium etc.) Is it this one you're looking for? http://bip32.org/ Its exactly the one, so It was BIP32 instead of BIP39 and that's why the website didn't work. I appreciate your help :) Title: Re: Alternative for brainwallet? Post by: ViceOfBTC21 on May 02, 2017, 11:43:48 AM Try http://bitaddress.org (http://bitaddress.org) brainwallet function. The generator of brainwallets isn't included, but at least it's reliable and easy to use. Works also offline and it is open source.
