Title: readable bitaddress.org code? Post by: glub0x on September 14, 2017, 10:32:28 PM Hello,
last time i was building some paper wallet and i was wondering about how much i have to trust bitaddress.org? The answer is actually quite a lot. The site could generate fake address once in a while so even offline you are far from being protected. This would be hard to detect. Then i tried to look the source code, i'm no .js guru and didn't want to spends days ( week? ) to understand everything so i gave up. So my question is : is there a simple site, eventually documented, so that one could look through the source code without much hassle and be sure that the program does what it is supposed to? Maybe a over simplified bitaddress ... Title: Re: readable bitaddress.org code?

Maybe a over simplified bitaddress ... How is that even possible, especially offline? I used it offline for long and never encountered a fake address! Regarding your Q, u may try https://coinb.in.

This way you are sure that no one knows what address was generated from that site.
