1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Deterministic wallets on: April 01, 2013, 04:58:13 PM
I was looking at bitaddress.org 's brain wallet feature. It takes in a passphrase and generates a private key/public address.

Could the same algorithm be used to create a whole series. If the passphrase as "Bla Bla" could you make the seed to create the next address "Bla Bla1" and then do "Bla Bla2".... to create an infinite series of addresses?

Is there any flaw that anyone sees in using the algorithm in bitaddress to do this (if not I might submit a patch to add this feature).

Does Armory use the same passphrase->seed algorithm that bitaddress does (are they compatible)? Is there a reason?

Also, has anyone figured out a method to take some seed that can just generate public addresses on an exposed merchant server that would have a private seed on a secure machine that could generate the corresponding private keys? Does anyone have any code in any language to do this?

All publicity is good publicist. Let the haters hate. It raises awareness, and the more people that are aware of it the better. Right now when I tell people about bitcoin, it is for the first time.

NameCoin should be adjusted. It isn't just for domain names, even though that seems to be the main use currently. It can be any key/value store.

Please let this topic go down, don't reply. Problem was resolved in mere 25 blocks. (less than quarter a day)

Even if it wasn't resolved, as long as your transactions don't rely on a miner reward after the fork, it would have been fine. The transaction would show up on both branches and the network would resolve itself.

People need to just relax, kick back, and let the machine do what it does. (unless your a miner.... than you might have been f-ed)

Where is the main forum post about TerraCoins? What are these things?

I am working on a javascript bitcoin wallet and would like to announce it somewhere other than "newbies." I am a programmer and have a deep understanding of how bitcoin works.
