"way too lazy to deal with experimental software"

You shouldn't be using Bitcoin at all, then.

Diggin' the new avatar psy!

What about the early blocks that still have untouched 50btc in them and no other transactions?
If we don't know they are lost, they cannot be added to this list.

have you kept up with the tally?

If that was aimed at me, don't mind me, just trolling!

Is the Bit in Bitcoin the 1.0 or the 0.00000001?

OH ya, BTW! I am looking to buy the public/private key pair that was assigned the first bits of 1gig.

Inquire Within

Just in case you don't realize, you'll have to trust this person forever to not spend coins sent to that address.

Very true. But I think we are getting to the point where agreements like this are going to have to happen. Not sure how. We are all writing the book as we go along.

Pretty nice. But I wouldn't want to send the private key info to them in plain text. It's 99.9% likely they have no idea what it is but maybe some day they will and have records.

You could send a long passphrase that seeds the actual key. That seems less likely to be figured out. In fact you could ask them to sell you one that was made with an error for someone else (cheap! because throwaway). Then use that data to seed a key. Not very personalized though.

I could see using one of those army "dog tags". Isn't there places that make those as well?

Crikey! That guy's sold over 2800 tags on that listing!

I usually AES encrypt my private keys using a passphrase. Much better than a brain wallet in my opinion.

BTW, hey! You! The one that created VanityGen, is there a way to log all the tossed out keys?
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: About generation of a bitcoin address on: August 16, 2012, 10:15:56 PM
Fast responce, Thanks, This answers my question, But think of all those unused addresses, We should have a homeless shelter for them.

I was thinking the same thing, but in order to have a public address you need a private address to go along with it. One could use the addresses already generated for themselves but I am not sure if one would trust selling or giving one away to someone else.

There seems to be a bug. In the QR-code field of the private key is the public key, so both QR-codes are the same and are reflecting the public key. The private key in text format is correct.
Whoops, stupid error. Fix pushed to the repo now.

Hey! Guess what!?

When you click print, just the QR codes appear!

Now back to the idea I brought up with Mike about preprinted checks.

Thoughts!?

Can we add the method for generating public addresses starting with the number 3 as well as 1?

Runs kinda slow Sad

Hi Mr. Mantis. Yes, it certainly does! Please refer to the OP, and the discussion, and the text on the site for clarification. As I write this, I'm trying to generate a new 4-character address and it's taking HOURS (usually only minutes for such short words).

My first goals were to make it simple and make it work. It is possible to make it faster (and remain simple), but I can't really spend the time right now... Unless there is someone interested in sponsoring (BTC) further development...

I appreciate you trying it out!

Just bought you a coffee.

Can someone provide a service that provides just the note design the same way that blank check designs are presented and sold at places like office supply stores and allow us to print onto it in just blank ink the QR codes, amount and keys? Now that is something I would pay for!

I thought of this... like having a print job run of pre-perforated paper with the bill artwork pre-printed, where you can run them through your printer to add the QR codes and then tear along the perfs.  Of course it will look better if you cut it with a proper cutter, but the perfs are quick and convenient on the go.

i am not sure what the setup and minimum run would be for offset, but I am down. Count me in for donation for start-up. Perhaps a percentage of the proceeds for each pad sold? IDK.

Thoughts?

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

YA BABY! Freaking awesome!!!!! I have been waiting for this!
