Bitcoin/Altcoin Tools for Newbies - Version 1.0.1

**Apr 04, 2016 - UPDATE: Version 1.0.2 Released**


INTRO
BATforN is for the Windows operating system. It has only been tested on Windows 8.1 but as far as I know should work on all Windows
platforms. If you encounter any bugs, have any requests, questions, comments or concerns, please let me know.

Many coin clients don't have simple, easy-to-use buttons for all of their features. This set of scripts simply makes those
features easier to use.

Someone using a coin client that doesn't have simple, easy-to-use buttons for signing messages, verifying messages,
encrypting their wallet, exporting/importing private keys, generating new keypairs, repairing corrupted wallets, checking
wallet integrity, validating coin addresses, validating public keys, etc... can find great use from this simple set of scripts.

The best part is that the scripts can be used with pretty much ANY coin client.

BATforN started as a way to make my own Bitcoin/Altcoin tasks faster and easier to accomplish. As I progressed, I decided I
would release my files for public use and so I have also added scripts that I thought might be useful for people who are
either new to Bitcoin or just less tech-savvy in general. If you're not comfortable with using the debug console, you find
the debug console confusing to use, etc... then this tool will likely be helpful for you. I will continue to improve and add
features.

All elements of BATforN are entirely open-source with the exception of "coind". If you do not trust my daemon then you can
replace it by going to http://bitcoin.org, download either the 32 or 64 bit ZIP package of the Bitcoin wallet, extract the
downloaded folder, open the "bin" folder inside, rename "bitcoin-cli" to "coind" then copy to "BATforN\Scripts" and
overwrite the old file. Once done, you can delete the rest of the downloaded Bitcoin files.

To view the source code for any of the scripts, simply right-click the script and select "Edit". Do NOT make/save any changes
or you can/will break the script.

Sorry, but why is a batch file wrapper easier to use than the actual wallet?

Sorry, but why is a batch file wrapper easier to use than the actual wallet?

I agree, it's definitely less user-friendly than using most GUI wallets.
Never mind the fact that it doesn't do anything special.

As stated in OP, this is for people who are not comfortable using the debug console. This walks them through some of the processes they might otherwise find difficult or intimidating.

Most wallets do not have easy-to-use buttons for all of their features, this just simply makes those features easier to use.

I am a fairly proficient crypto user and I still use automated scripts for a lot of my crypto-related tasks.
