WOW. Now if my last question is stupid, forgive me - so what if all of us printed, moved our mouse and generated addresses OFFLINE, is there any chance that this webapp generate an identical address keypair that already exists out there? How will it countercheck the newly gen. address with an existing one?

Thank you very much and more prosperity may come your way.

Are you fairly secure about the paper wallets not being hacked?  Did you deposit only one time per paper or did you do a sample amount first before every paper?

hey guys anyone considering armory's paper wallet over bitaddress.org's? Or bitaddress is just as ok / easier for beginners when done offline, on a livecd, with all sigs gpg's checked?

Hello, canton, on which version of bitaddress is the current bitcoinpaperwallet site based?? THank you very much

To Pointbiz, et al...

Guys I was reading up in bitcoin's freenode irc room about some people arguing against paper wallets like yours versus Armory's paper wallet.

One or two of the operators stated that depositing more than one time to the public address of a printed bitaddress "wallet"/keypair will create too many signatures which the hackers will use to decode the private address.

But doesn't bitaddress not create signatures to begin with??? Can you guys explain this a little bit to a beginner like myself?

I already know that the random mouse movement and printing everything offline, in a livecd linux, will create a very secure unique set of addresses, but then when bitcoin veterans would advise against using bitaddress puts me in a dilemma on what to use.


Thank you so much and more power to all of you.

  Thank you guys, but what about this thing I read the other day in #bitcoin in freenode IRC, that addresses are only supposed to be used only ONE time to receive, to avoid more than one signature. I thought addresses are fine to receive multiple transactions, only remember to withdraw and sweep it one time. Don't these keypairs from bitaddress have no signature to begin with?


They highly recommended armory for making the real paper wallet. Should I use that instead?

Hi, I get that paper wallets generated by bitaddress.org are actually single keypairs and not wallets necessarily, so say if one used their website via their zipped project from github and did the random keypair generation offline, would there be a chance that the keypair of public and private addresses you got have been also generated offline by another user elsewhere? So is there a chance that the same randomly generated pair has another instance by another user who just did the exact thing. just a coincidence? Or how is this avoided?

Also, so the addresses you generated from a site like that, they don't have or use signatures, right, so there is less chance of them getting compromised?

Thank you so much and happy holidays to you all and best of health to everyone
