I may be able to enhance some steps to further reduce dependencies. python libs requests and json are need to fetch the current balance from blockchain.info .. I could do that using bitcoin-rpc aswell.

There are some open templates for paper wallets (with single keys), maybe you can use some of these as well?

Yep .. Think so too.But, i have a script to load generate new addresses .. fill them with 1btc each and then extract them to print on a paperwallet. That was my intention.

You have a link?It'l be very easy to install multiple different layouts and let the user select Title: Re: Self-Made Offline Paper Wallets Using LaTeX Post by: Sukrim on May 23, 2013, 02:24:09 PM 2 threads below this one:

Vanitymining might be the cherry on top! Title: Re: Self-Made Offline Paper Wallets Using LaTeX Post by: Shevek on May 23, 2013, 03:18:29 PM It looks interesting. Following.
Resulting PDF: https://github.com/xeroc/LaTeX-PaperWallet/raw/master/paperWallet.pdf The file is gone... Title: Re: Self-Made Offline Paper Wallets Using LaTeX Post by: xeroc on May 24, 2013, 06:40:21 AM The file is gone... That was because pdf file should be deleted after printing (of course) The old example is still there: https://github.com/xeroc/LaTeX-PaperWallet/raw/e0728cb5cd314c2c1051bf0d26bb50a1bdfa5c2c/paperWallet.pdf Title: Re: Self-Made Offline Paper Wallets Using LaTeX Post by: xeroc on June 17, 2013, 02:54:29 PM 2 threads below this one: did it.
