Just another bitcoin toolkit

[seoincorporation]

Bitcoin is freedom, or that's what they used to say... The reality is that 99% of the users need a 3rd party software (called wallets) to store and spend their coins. And that's not cool we should be able to take our private keys and be able to build our own transactions localy, and just use a 3rd party service to broadcast our transactions.

And that's why i'm building a Bitcoin Toolkit, it runs locally as a web app, and it's some weird temporary wallet with some useful tools for bitcoin.

and before anyone want to try it let me put this red big warning:

You should never use your private keys on a online service

And now lets talk about the tool.



It can do a lot of Bitcoin related things, you can create address, search for address with balance, create transactions, verify balance, sign transactions... and all that kind of thing that a wallet should let us do with some other cool tools.

You can find the demo version here: https://toolkit.lucky.lat/

And if you want to try it locally (this is the right and secure way) you can download the code here.

Give me your feedback, what should i add?

Sweet. It would be great if you will host source code on Github.
It looks like you are displaying wrong addresses formats (BIP44, etc) for BIP39 paths.

As per the saying "don't trust, verify";
If a self-custodial client/wallet is open-source, verified and compiled by the user, then it doesn't act like a third-party anymore since now trustless because the owner knows how it works under the hood.
Only a few users do this though.

I don't get it: you're saying third party software is not cool, and then come up with more third party software.

we should be able to take our private keys and be able to build our own transactions localy

That's exactly what every wallet does, but in a more convenient way.

His argumentation for using this over a real wallet indeed does not really hold water, but I do believe that building transactions on an offline, air-gapped device is the most secure way to spend your coins.

We should be able to take our private keys and be able to build our own transactions localy, and just use a 3rd party service to broadcast our transactions.

For me personally, this means working with air-gapped hardware wallets. A great tradeoff between convenience and security.

One could also use a dedicated PC, e.g. booting up Tails on a flash drive that comes with Electrum pre-packaged and work with that, but it'll most likely be less secure than a purpose-built device with minimal operating system and security-focused hardware design.

I want to know something about Electrum wallet, is it good for long term investment preservation, or is trust wallet better. Many places talk about trust wallet. But which wallet is actually better for long term preservation. And which wallet will be more secure?

Electrum is one of the default, old-school, tried and tested open-source Bitcoin wallet options out there.
You can check out the source code for yourself!

Trust Wallet, to the best of my knowledge, is a multi-coin web extension, so a totally different thing feature-wise and security-wise.
Choosing the right wallet for you depends on lots of factors though, and I recommend first establishing what you need, then doing your own research, and if anything's still unclear, post a detailed question. ('How do I ask a good question?')

In short, if you only care about long-term storage of BTC, steer clear of Trust Wallet.
Either buy a trusted, open-source, verifiable, air-gapped hardware wallet and send the funds there, or do the following manual process.

• Create a fresh seed on a machine without antennas or Ethernet running Tails from a USB drive, which comes with Electrum preinstalled.
• Back up the seed onto metal.
  
• Send your funds to one of the addresses.
• Shut down the machine.

Once you need to spend, either go back into Tails and import the seed, or buy a hardware wallet and import the seeds there.
In the Tails method, you will need to put the signed transaction on another storage media, then import it on a computer with internet access and broadcast it to the Bitcoin network.

Unless it already exists, I can make a guide on this process.
