Working draft for v1.7:
https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v1.7-SHA1-.html
- Using the SVG with the small dimensions from Psy's downloads (795px wide).
- At this moment you need Ubuntu fonts installed on your system for it to look proper. Meaning it's not using WebFonts.
- Check the "Art?" checkbox on the Paper Wallet tab to see the SVG art wallet. It is a 4MB SVG external download via iframe.
- Please note this is unsigned work and SVGs are capable of including JavaScript!


I feel the public and private QR codes should be the same ratio... so at this moment the white boxes are not the correct size. Also, there is a CSS oddity where Chrome is rending the private QR Code a few pixels more to left than Firefox or IE9....

Awesome. Doing a big print run now  Grin

can anybody post all 4 bills in one post so it is easier to vote?
Voting is finished, though the four candidates are collected here in the "call to vote" post by casascius.

I think I have just about got the reward payout scheme just about finalized.  And the gracious donation of 10BTC, I think I am going to say should go to the person who successfully marries the BitAddress.org codebase with the SVG version of what is pretty much certainly the first-place winner: the banknote presented to us by Psy.

I plan to tackle integrating this with BitAddress.org's code, though it won't be the SVG version, since the QR code generation on BitAddress.org uses HTML Canvas elements, not SVG elements. So there's two ways to go on this: use the existing BitAddress.org QR library and draw the full banknote as a canvas element (using JPEG/PNG version of the banknote background; output would be a canvas element, which the browser would render as JPEG or PNG. Might be less quality on a print) or find a new QR library that can generate SVG output (could print higher res) rather than canvas (or modify the existing QR library to be SVG; haven't checked to see how hard that is...).

EDIT: Working version of BitAddress.org code with Psy's banknote backgrounds: https://github.com/MidnightLightning/bitaddress.org

Looks awesome so far! I'm going to print out a few tomorrow and see how they look

psy: awesome design. I really like it.

Why not fold it in thirds instead of in-half, that way the address is right there, but you have to unfold it to get to the private key. Psy's design would look awesome with the address on the "front" of the packet and the big B on the back. You can easily secure it with a piece of tape if you feel so inclined.

I'm a developer and I want to work on the Bitcoin bank notes project thats coming about.

I'd like to work on other projects too, so I'll be looking around at what other people are up to. If you want to do something interesting and need a dev, feel free to ping me

- Trading on Gox
- Put a bet on SatoshiDice on sane multiplier (1.235x, 79% chance to win) and hope to get more
- Buy something from sites that accept bitcoin : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade
- Buy physical bitcoin from https://www.casascius.com/
- Donate 0.1 BTC to me Wink

I bought a physical bitcoin from casacius at defcon, and they are awesome

I'm a developer and I'm looking for a project that will help get more people using bitcoin. Any ideas?

Hi!

I checked out Bitcoin a few years ago and read the paper, but then got distracted by other things. A few months ago, I started looking at Bitcoin again, and this year I ran into some Bitcoin fans at DefCon and they convinced me to get back on the bus.

I'm a software engineer by day, and have always loved crypto. I'm really interested in what we can do to help with user adoption and accesability around Bitcoin. So, if you have an idea about something we could do to get more people using Bitcoin but need help hacking it up, feel free to message me!
