1  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BOUNTY: 10+BTC] Open Source (CC) Paper Wallet Kit for safe offline coin storage on: April 12, 2013, 09:50:14 AM

My initial thought was to have the user download the software from openpaperwallet.com, go offline, run it and print. A key part of this project will be the user instructions, which I am writing now and will hope to get help illustrating.

Now, if people think that download-offline-print is too insecure or prone to hijacking, we could add USB keys into the retail product, but that would be up to individual resellers.

Since I hope to be the first reseller of these as kits, let me ask the community here: USB stick or download?

I think what should be done would be to include checksums or something of the like of which they can verify for themselves that any tampering hasn't been done to the software, regardless of how its delivered. That being said, it's probably cheaper to offer the software as a download.

I never did figure out how to do those curves in Inkscape... Is there any particular guide to drawing those, or is it just experimentation by hand?

Made a little attempt at creating a design, though it did take quite a while to get it to the point where I was satisfied with how it looked.

Does anyone anywhere track the growth of retail establishments, whether on-line or brick and mortar, accepting Bitcoins?  I would assume that the longevity of Bitcoin would depend on it's eventual fulfillment as a utility to make common, everyday purchases.

I don't think there is such a service out there right now, at least from what I've looked into. It seems like a mixed bag, with varying degrees of success.

There is no 100% safe wallet.  Wink

Agreed. No matter what you do, there will be a way through, if one has the time... or the persistence.

I believe that what is being discussed in the thread (in the OP) is indeed, a joke. It'd almost be nice if we could do CPU mining for that kind of thing, but I'm still stuck with the older generation of CPUs.

I would take the coins, due to most of the reasons above. Trying to mine for bitcoins was a real pain (for me at least), and it barely returned. With exponential difficulty and reduced reward (as far as I know), the coins would probably be more useful in the short-term.

Hello. Um... where to start.

I've been looking around a bit into bitcoins over the past few years, and did attempt to dig out some bitcoins, stopping only because my machine doesn't like to cooperate, and I did need to use my machine for actual purposes. Not to mention that my machine wasn't made for digging.

I'm hoping at some stage to utilise bitcoins in the future... Though how, I'm not quite decided yet.

So, hi.
