Hi

I've just released a tool to allow you to check/retrieve/generate your counterwallet bitcoin addresses/keys using your counterwallet 12 word passphrase. The script runs client side only (in your browser using javascript). No keys, passphrases are transmitted server side. For additional security the script can also be run while in offline/disconnected mode

The tool can be accessed at https://blockscan.com/tool_generatekey. Because it is built purely with javascript and html, all of the code is viewable online.

Feedback welcomed

Being familiar with bitaddress.org, I think they set a good standard for code auditability by having that website in a github repo, providing hashes, etc. So I would suggest taking it in that direction to help people trust it on an ongoing basis.

I agree, the eventual plan is to Github the generator (https://github.com/blockscan/cw_address_key_generator).  But the code need some major cleaning up first  ....

Can this tool supports all assets and also can we sign TX with this tool like brainwallet?

Signing is not an issue. But there are no JavaScript client libraries to build the CP transactions client side, that I am aware off. You will need to run and connect to backend daemon like counterblockd

I'm no longer seeing lists of transactions for a specific address. For example http://blockscan.com/address/1Po1oXMCWobE6kxWr8rJEP1SRq71JSD3t4 doesn't show any transactions or formatting below the "First" "Prev" "Page 1 of XXXX" buttons on the right.

There were some code changes made to the address page to reduce the number of postbacks required. I've tested this in both IE, Chrome and Safari. May I know what browser are you running ?

Firefox? I see the issue and am looking into it. It appears firefox interprets the frame tags differently

Ok. It should be fixed now. Let me know if you are still running into issues

Inspired by our convo at the XCP forums, I think it would be good for your asset issuances detail page to show the description and any other data pertinent to an issuance. For example, I can't see the description given when FLDC was issued in this transaction: http://blockscan.com/txInfo/429963

I've updated the issuance page to show the description with the initial asset issuance and also the associated address responsible for additional issuance. If there is any other "pertinent" data that is left out let me know. Given that the issuance page is basically a high level overview, certain information such as fees, etc have been left out

Very cool. That simplifies things for me and reduces the number of Bitcoin transactions by one for the process as well!

In general, I think each type of transaction should display everything a user might want to know about it. For an issuance, seeing everyting a user might set for a new asset in Counterwallet would be cool. Obviously, seeing all of that info can be daunting for new users so there is something be said for keeping it simple (or making an advanced view link).

A feature request: Provide a way to search description text. I'd like to be able to provide a link that shows any and all assets that have a certain hash in their description ordered by block number. The reason is that I've put out a set of artworks that each come with a Counterparty token and the way the artwork is connected with the token is by putting a hash of an image of the artwork in the description field of the token when it's first issued.

Works great. I'm going to have to write a general asset + proof of existence type article based on this.

Great! Let me know when your article is complete and I will put a link in the "what's new" section of Blockscan's main page to your article.
