The Bounty: One bag of 500 stickerable Aluminum Casascius Coins, including shipping.  These have the Bitcoin logo on the front, and a blank space for a sticker (up to 1.15" / 29mm in diameter) for you to print the content of your choice.

The Project: Fork BitAddress.org so that it can be used for printing full sheets of private key labels.

The Labels: http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL1025.htm



How it should work:

• The user enters label count wide and high per page (in this example, 6 wide and 8 high)
• The user enters width of label and horizontal distance between labels (as well as height and vertical distance)
• The user enters a horizontal and vertical positioning offset (so it works with their particular printer)
• The user should be able to print a sheet of private keys after having bought the product linked to above.

In addition, there should be an easy way for the user to copy a list of the Bitcoin Addresses to the clipboard, so he can bulk-fund the addresses with the amount of his choice.  The list should be available in two formats: one being a simple CRLF-delimited list of addresses, and the other being a preformatted command for bitcoind to fund all the coins in a single transaction, example:


WHAT SHOULD GO ON THE LABELS:

This should be possibly up to user's discretion.  They will be a tight fit.  Some users will want QR codes and others will rather save the space.  Some users will want the Bitcoin address on the labels, others might view that as unnecessary.  I would think most users would want to enter a denomination to be printed, since the aluminum coins don't come pre-denominated.  I am open to any reasonable interpretation of what a user is likely to want.

Great question.  The software at BitAddress.org is cross-platform and gets enjoyed by a broader audience.  My own software tends to be used predominantly by those using Windows, and my wish isn't so much to create a simple tool for myself to use, but for others.  There's also a bigger community of developers willing to fork and work on the BitAddress code base versus mine.

That's true. I deleted my post. I'll start a new topic.

https://github.com/threeip/casascius , demo version at http://rackverse.com/casascius/ . Any and all feedback welcome just don't laugh at my code (to my face )

Ack. Ok, best of luck with it!

I'll add 0.2 btc to the bounty (if thats ok), so that you can buy some labels to go with your new blanks
Think I would find this useful.

I made a quick start:



The label generation works, but the labels are still empty. I will look into adding the private key's during the weekend.

Let me know if this is in the right direction.

I have added the keys to the labels (QR codes are the default):



If the user chooses the 'Use key text' option it adds the private keys as text to the labels:



Still to do:
Add the 'copy bulk fund to clipboard' and 'copy key pairs to clipboard' functionality.

I was also thinking about adding a third option for displaying the keys: show the textual key in combination with one row of text a user can specify (a denomination for example).

Great work, watching.

Not sure about the defaults but could you please also create presets for us metric folk for the following label sheets?
