Can we get a version of this that has a decent user interface? Is there a version of this that has a decent UI?

I have to copy my private key (security risk), click the transactions tab, paste the private key, scoll to the bottom of the page.

Then there is something about Re-sign? Okay, click that. Send transaction. Error message about the HTTP identifier or something. Workaround that.

It's confusing to those who don't know the software in and out. It would be nice to have the security and transactions on one page.

I get the above error every time I try to send Bitcoins.

I recommend saving the page to your desktop, disconnecting the internet, then filling in your private key.  Then copy the raw transaction to http://blockchain.info/pushtx.  Make sure you are sending the FULL amount from the originating private key.  All left overs will be considered a transaction fee & collected by a miner.  Bitcoin v0.7 has raw transaction create/send capabilities as well if you want to wait on that.  Supposedly it will be robust enough to handle change as well.  Maybe bitcoinwallet will take a hint & allow you to have multiple destination addresses.

Holy s***.

at blockchain.info you can create a pub/priv address pair out of a string. that's what happens on that page, too. is that what you mean?

[CIYAM]

Are you sure such a thing is possible?

I dont see how the miner can take the change. If I sign a transaction with an input of 10 BTC and and output of 7 BTC and I dont specify a change address. Then surely the 3 BTC is lost forever. I dont see how a miner can add his own change address to a transaction signed by someone else.

It would not be possible for miners to get any fees if you had to sign an address for them to do so (which address?) so am pretty sure that this is indeed how the protocol works (input - output = miner's fees).

Note that the change address is simply one of the output addresses (nothing in the protocol denotes it as being a change address).

I use BrainWallet exclusively on a clean offline computer.

OK, now THAT's dangerous. Good thing I've always used the full amount.

Thanks for that info.

Gotta be careful with Brainwallet and Bitaddress. Someone could lose thousands to a very lucky miner!

Whomever is the developer of the brainwallet on github, thanks for not only writing it, but making it PD a month ago.

Security Suggestion: do not suggest a static example passphrase of 'correct horse battery staple' or otherwise. Either go blank or have the page gather enough entropy from mouse movements to be safe. Someone is likely to lose an unknown amount of funds in the future due to this joke.

Another one which is more minor: default to compressed keys to save space in the blockchain.

The transactions page has been updated to allow multiple destination addresses & transaction fees.  I also noticed it appears to automatically send unused funds back to the source address.  Although I haven't tested this out so use at your own risk.  It may have always done this AFAIK, but I don't recall that being the case.

One issue I have found is that when specifying a tx amount when one has a "change" address then one satoshi goes missing in the "change" amount.

So starting from its default tx if I first set the BTC for the dest addr to 40.00 then it correctly creates a 10.00000000 value for the change, however, if I then set the tx fee to 0.005 the "change" output now appears as follows:

Code:

  "value": "9.99499999",

And if I change the fee to 0.05 the "change" output now appears as follows:

Code:

  "value": "9.94999999",

Maybe there is some kind of rounding issue going on here?

I have played with bitaddress.org but AFAIA it doesn't let you create raw tx's.

http://blockchain.info's API isn't playing nice with BW.org anymore. No data, no response. Bitcoin Block Explorer works...

Had to copy the raw hex and paste it into http://blockchain.info/pushtx myself.

ETA: Fixed as of 1717 Pacific 10/19/12.

this is a great page. is there no official thread?

here the source: https://github.com/brainwallet/brainwallet.github.com

Did anybody take a look at it?

Spoken like a true programmer.

The Brainwallet UI could be significantly improved. But I suppose part of using Bitcoin at that level is being able to figure out the Brainwallet UI ....

[TheButterZone]

I'm far from a programmer and it's perfect for me.
