  Thanks.

No I am not only a troll. Times have changed and I am happy to be able to put out a project that people have interest in.

Smoothie, you should use minikeys instead.

EDIT: I wrote a LTC minikey generator here: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4490.0.html

Working on it. I'm likely going to use a modified version of Casascius' bitcoin private key generator. Thanks!

These are sexy  Nice work smoothie!

you should probably publish the sources you use (and compile the thing yourself) and use it on an offline machine only?

Yup already had that in mind. Thanks for mentioning it though.

I already have a version that I had modified of Casascius' code. Compiled myself and run. But now that I'm going with the mini key route, the generation of the actual keys will be done in his code. I was mainly using it for formatting etc initially. So yes I will be publishing the source.

Let me know if you spot any errors.

I noticed your version does not create the minikey for LTC addresses. Is this true or did I miss something?

You were correct. I was still figuring out how to get it working.

Just now I managed to get it working. I also adjusted the address details windows to work with Litecoin (some buttons on that form would assume the address type was always Bitcoin, regardles of the address type selected at the bottom).

I believe there is no real value to encoding "this private key is for Litecoin" inside a private key, that exceeds the cost of maintaining the "cruft" of having a different format.  The minikey I devised for Bitcoin should be kept unmodified, the only difference is that a Litecoin address is generated instead.

This is in stark contrast to my belief that payment addresses should encode what network they're for, lest someone send their Bitcoins to a Litecoin address (aka black hole without special recovery procedures).

If there must be differentiation, then I suggest that the "S" prefix on the minikey become something else.  If you're going to do it, you might also want to throw in an improvement I've wanted to do for a while: change the derivation algorithm to scrypt instead of sha256.  For Litecoin I imagine this will be fitting.  I recommend "P" as a prefix

Currently the version I modified of your code produces minikeys with "S" as the prefix. They work the same in derivation on when input to say liteaddress.org.

All the information gets derived. I think I may end up working on that derivation algorithm eventually, but in the interest of time for now I will use the minikeys that start with prefix "S" that basically would be doing the same thing only it won't be using "P" as a prefix at this time.

I should note here that both Casascius and Coblee have been very helpful in getting me to fully understand the private-key/mini key association with a Liteocin address using Casascius' key gen source code so I could modify the code appropriately for this project. Thank you both for the insight and help here.

I looked at your code, compiled it, and ran it and the minikeys come up as invalid when input to the details page of liteaddress.org.

None of the information gets derived correctly from the test that I ran. Just an FYI.

Count me in, PMed u as of now to ask a simple question, hope to hear from u soon

[Devine]

These are just so gorgeous that I'll have to get at least one.

Answered.

[HDminer]

I really want these. 

Pretty nice job

[TsuyokuNaritai]

Smoothie, please could you start a new locked thread from where you'll later announce the release of Lealana, so we can watch that thread instead?

[BitAddict]

I'm watching this. They're nice and I will probably be interested!

ANOTHER WHAY TO ''STEAL'' FROM STUPED PEOPLE (READ : S H E E P S )  MONEY
i mean wtf silver lite coins? go f yourself
THIS COINS ARE D I G I T A L and thats their power, with this, whats the diference betven this scam coins and euro or dolar? Exept that goverment will be on your ass for detributing new curency REAL curency! But well done for idea, some people are born suped and to be a sheep all life so you deserve to take their money

You are a fool. These are for collectors and they look f*cken awesome. There is nothing illegal about minting a coin that is not fiat.
