Title: Deterministic Bitcoin wallet generator, using a FILE Post by: jackjack on August 11, 2011, 03:14:12 PM Hi,
If you want to have a deterministic wallet but are afraid of forgetting your passphrase, you can now use one of your file to create your wallet Moreover, a thief will have to check every file on your computer to find your generated keys Download Fillet (https://github.com/jackjack-jj/fillet) and run "./fillet.py --file ~/me.png --keynumber 1 --size 10 --pwpath ~/bitcoin/pywallet/" All flags are optional except --file Pywallet (https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet) is used to convert your key to a Bitcoin address When you will want to import a key, pywallet will do that easily Title: Re: Deterministic Bitcoin wallet generator, using a FILE Post by: silverchair on August 12, 2011, 03:50:12 AM Cool, thanks mate.

Or that movie you made with an ex-girlfriend long ago....

I think I would only do this if the file were on a removable drive. But then there's the chance of losing the file. A passphrase is still the best option, imo.

With a 100MB file, it takes 5 seconds to calculate one private key Use a 700MB movie, start at key number "your birthday+your phone number"/"your credit card number*your age"/"whatever" instead of 0, and nobody will never ever find your private key Title: Re: Deterministic Bitcoin wallet generator, using a FILE Post by: indio007 on August 12, 2011, 04:31:46 PM Every not common, binary file will bring huge security Or that movie you made with an ex-girlfriend long ago....That gives a whole new meaning to "private key". Maybe it should be called privates key instead......
