btw why he is using win 95 and what actıally he tries to do  Roll Eyes he can buy a new computer has win xp for 0.1 btc already

I guess i am just paranoid about modern computers being monitored even when they are so called "offline".

Flatfly, can you please update the link? It gives a 404 error now.

Hi, I thought you had downloaded it already.
Here's a fresh link: http://trax.x10.mx/bgen-023-win95.7z
I hope it works as expected on your system.

OK, I will remove the Windows binary download of chainsnort (complete with color output) very shortly, so get it while you can. Any early users who already own a copy of the chainsnort binary are allowed to freely use it forever. 

Now I don't want to turn it into a typical paid app, but I would like to try a new idea: as i do need thé donations and almost none were received so far, any time a tip comes in through the official donation address <1111127SpvabYpoeDoiz5L7QPkfiSh2Q>, the download is made freely available to anyone (not just the donator) for the next 24h.

How much does the donation size have to be, I was wanting this app but realized the dl link is gone now.

It can be anything you like! Donations help me further develop and maintain the tool. Once the donation is made please post here again in this thread to confirm. Thanks!

You'll need to be more specific because the answers depend...

- What wallet software are you talking about?
- When you say encoding, do you actually mean encryption?

[...]I will just transfer it to the candidate with highest activity.

You couldn't just open-source it?

I don't feel too comfortable doing that. A little concerned about the potential for abuse, even if limited. That's why I'd rather transfer it to a trusted user.

Abuse?

If Bitcoin can't stand up to this program I'd really rather you let her loose now, before I waste further time  Cheesy

Not that kind of abuse... Rather something along the lines of repackaging the app and potentially abusing new gullible users.

I've received 2 additional offers by PM. So, 4 users are currently interested in taking over this project.

As I'm still not sure who to transfer this project to, I will simply transfer it to the highest bidder. Starting bid is 0.3 BTC, minimum increment is 0.05 BTC. I would like to close this a week from now at the latest. If there are no bids at all, I will just transfer it to the candidate with highest activity.

[Edit] I reserve the right to turn down offers from proven scammers.
150  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to generate a new BTC address with bitcoind? on: January 26, 2014, 02:10:52 PM
Hi,

I need to create new Bitcoin addresses using the command line and bitcoind.

How can I achieve this?

I'm using Python.

This should be the simplest way:

Code:
# requires bitcoinrpc 6K library by jgarzik
# get it from https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc/archive/master.zip

from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy
prx = AuthServiceProxy('http://rpcuser:rpcpassword@127.0.0.1:8332')
print prx.getnewaddress()

flatfly: I have reviewed NoBrainr and I thing you do not need any of these sophisticated tools to crack addresses created by it.
Actually, a simple programmable calculator is enough.

Let me grab all cold wallets ever created with NoBrainr, and come back to this thread ;-)

I'm not convinced about your uber hax0r skills but you sure are entertaining Wink

Of course, if you post a proof (other than a funny/shaky/blurry video), I'll review my statement Smiley

There is no proof needed:

Nobrainr:
Wordlist Length: 7776
Number of Random Words: 7
Size of Search Space: 7776^7 = 1.71 * 1027
Maximum Possible Search Space: 2256 = 1.15 * 1077
Result: Searchspace is Reduced to this percentage: 1.484618518476838608918817891513466139612896777*10-50
Analogon: This means like I can hide a 10 dollar bill anywhere in the universe, but by accident I have hidden it somewhere in your house.

I am starting right away, in the hope that anyone has a 1000 BTC cold wallet out there just waiting for me.

This is all well known. (Full discussion in the NoBrainr thread)

It must be a hell of a programmable calculator you have if it can crack that. I want the same one Smiley

Also I'd love to try out what you're smoking.

(No offense meant, I was also young and naive not so long ago)

Do not believe these disbelievers, nor believe all these eye catching "all addresses are safe" posters.
Just take a look at my video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC43aOdsf4g&hd=1) where I actually crack a private key live on camera.
All transactions in this video are performed on the real block chain, and can be verified on blockchain.info.
First off how do we know you entropy was not something like 1 and the cracker just generated that character first. This shows no flaw, it shows nothing. You took a public key from an unknown entropy and got the private key. You didn't brute force any private key. Until you brute force my private key, this video is invalid.
Lol, if the entropy was 1 we would have only two different addresses generated. But the random address generator was generating dozens of different addresses. More precisely, the entropy came from pythons "random.randrange()".
Actually, now I know that you are just trolling as you seem to ignore everything that I try to explain. You said it is not possible to crack any private_key ... but I have just cracked a private key in seconds. A private key of a legit bitcoin address verified on blockchain.info. So your statement is clearly not true.

You have demonstrated that random.randrange() can be an extremely poor entropy generator. I hope that no real bitcoin address generator uses that function to generate addresses, though I guess it is possible that someone might use it.

hmmm.... for starters, randrange() is not a generator.

also, many wallets and tools use that function. One simple example is NoBrainr:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308972.0

I would like to challenge you to "crack" any key generated by it...
154  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum servers (Map) on: January 26, 2014, 09:19:41 AM
I really liked this idea so spent a few minutes turning this into a dynamic map. This one refreshes the peer list every minute or so and uses the free Maxmind data to geolocate from server IP address.

Hosted here: http://electrum.206industries.com/

Amazing!  Did it really take you only a few minutes to do this?
Care to share how?
155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rare address hall of fame on: January 25, 2014, 08:14:07 PM
I was searching for the prefix 1ANoNYM but ended with 1ANoNYMURccWEEGMoMTozTtjBj7CmtRZdb.
I don't claim that "ANoNYMURccWEEGMoMTozT" is a valid English word but it's still pronounceable I think (like "otohotohMoQoxHux")

Accepted!
I will update the list later.
156  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Why you cannot enter an arbitrary seed in Electrum on: January 25, 2014, 06:35:12 PM
What are your thoughts on this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/68tgbd
You have to roll your own seed. 5 dice for each word = 60 rolls, if a roll is invalid (i.e. under certain circumstances not applicable), roll again. IMO this should lead to a truly random seed, which can't be compromised by faulty or limited random number generators implementations. It's a bit cumbersome, but for long-term storage a decent decision.

Any downsides or potential risks I don't see?

This method is well known as Diceware - http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html

Good question! How Diceware (5 words with dice, dictionary size of 7776) compares to Electrum (12 words, from a dictionary of 1600) for practical purposes; to use as your master password?

Diceware 5 words bit strength:

>>> log(7776**5,2)
64.624

Electrum 12 words bit strength:

>>> log(1626**12,2)
128.005


What this means: Diceware 5 words is no longer secure. With dictionary size 7776, use at least 7 or 8 words for critical/financial stuff.
157  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Basic question: where wallet data is gathered from when restoring from seed? on: January 25, 2014, 05:00:03 PM
All I need to remember is my 12 words. So far so good. So if I install a new client and restore my wallet from where my wallet data with all my addresses are restored from?

The 'cloud', something inherent to the bitcoin network or something inherent to the Electrum network?

Electrum's official beginner's manual is too technical for me, thanks.

The 'cloud' is simply the regular blockchain.

Ya ! AH he eeh ehaha , it works, nice!

Edit: I have sent you 0.1btc,  will you work on the clipboard function now? Smiley

Great, thanks!
I will work on the clipboard function - expect an update within the next few days.

Added clipboard support in the latest version. This means 2 new behaviors:

1. if you just type 'bgen' without a hex number, the tool will process whatever input is in the clipboard at that time (if it's a valid hex number)
2. output is automatically copied to the clipboard in all cases

You can get it from here (temporary link):

http://trax.x10.mx/bgen-022-win95.7z

Does that work for you?
