You can see the difference between my code and the bitaddress.org source code from their github repo by using an online utility such as: http://www.comparemyfiles.com/ to compare the two files and see for yourself quite quickly.

My source code: https://github.com/obesityspray/Dr.-Evil-Paper-Wallet

Bitaddress.org github repo: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org


I hope you enjoy

I would love to hear any suggestions

[Niggawatts]

How could I prove myself to be a reputable source for paper wallet generation? Does anyone have any ideas? Everything in this project is open source, but I'm unaware of another way to add another extra layer of trust, I would love some feed back.

Thank you

Well, your forum handle is "Niggawatts."

What would you suggest as an alternative? Anything else beyond a name?

Maybe create a offline downloadable version?

Even though your site is trusted, I don't think its a good idea getting people into the idea of trusting sites for this type of thing, we need more people to become more paranoid. So many people have had their coins stolen. Getting people used to these sites is a bad idea I think.

EDIT:
In fact I prefer people building Bitcoin apps as perhaps python code? So the code can be investigated even before its run. I'm not a fan of running compiled code on my computer where my Bitcoins are.

That's how all paper wallets work do they not? This wallet works offline just as bitaddress.org would

Although I agree with this statement, it can't really apply to this project, it's based on bitaddress.org source code which is already a reputable paper wallet generator, had I developed it in python from scratch I'm sure I would have been met by magnitudes more skepticism and poor adoption rate, and I probably couldn't count on you to come by and verify my code

I meant make the generator downloadable and offline, All these online generators get people used to making addresses online. I know the generator is client side but it gets people into a bad habit, especially non-technical people.

If you made a version in python I could very quickly determine if it was sending private keys to a web server! Or if the generation algorithm was tampered with.

People can also verify these online paper-wallet generators but maybe I'm just being really paranoid, all users of these services need to get into a habit of either reading the source or trusting a service.

For people to trust you, I think you need more reputation. Its a chicken and egg issue, you just need to become more well known in the community.

(Also ignoring paranoid freaks like me is probably a good idea, lol, i'm too skeptical of anything that can record private keys)

Oh okay I see what you mean, make it the default option. I see your point here, but speaking from my own experience easing into bitcoin and by proxy paper wallets, I found it kind of useful to have that quick and dirty instant gratification of seeing how the finished product would look like, then I got serious and took the proper precautionary measures of saving the file, disconnecting the internet, etc.. to generate my person wallet the first time. However, you absolutely right, alot of people probably wouldn't take those precautions. So I guess I would argue that it takes away time from the experience of seasoned users that just want to see it in action, which is my target demographic, but that's just my opinion, I could be completely wrong.

I'm not sure how I could use python with this project, how would I go about porting my source code to provide that option for you py heads to verify?

After looking through the code in more detail, porting to python would be possible but not really worth it, considering the entire program is in one html file its pretty lean as it is. It is easy to use offline, I guess the main issue you have is reputation and trust, but I am sure that will come if you keep up with the projects.

Good luck my friend and build reputation!

One million bitcoins!!! da da daaaaa!

I would love to hear any suggestions

A button that says "display private keys of last 10 visitors"

Followed of course by a "your bitcoins are being converted... " progress bar. 

  Nice paper wallet!

Nice work!

Going to use this when I give bitcoins as wedding presents ... I have 3 weddings to attend to this month, all accepting bitcoins.
