instawallet question

[drknow012]

when you create a new address with instawallet.org's api services, it creates a wallet and gives it a <wallet_id>

my question is, this wallet id, is it simply the private key? or is it generated by the instawallet website?

It is a unique ID that has no link with the private key of the wallet address.

That is how it is generated (Ruby) :

Code:

def set_key
  if key.blank?
    self.key = SecureRandom.base64(25).gsub(/[\+\=\/]/, '')
  end
end

so is it possible to get the private key from an instawallet address?

No, because of the way Instawallet works.
