You can now print your own bitcoin bills similar to PrintCoins.com bills:  Simply go to http://print.printcoins.comThe bills come out in PDF form so that they can be printed and will match up in size to USA dollars, and have cut marks on them for easy cutting. The source code is also available so you can run the code yourself, and of course if you want to improve the bills in any way, feel free to submit changes to the github repository. |

Would someone be so kind as to creating a Windows executable for download?

Well, it is web based, so it will work using your browser. |

Well, it is web based, so it will work using your browser. OK I misunderstood. I thought you could print your own bills offline, but it won't work unless it is online. |

If you are web tech savy you could set up a web server on your computer and run it locally.

Why is it going online? Is it to just get libraries or are we sending our private keys to you?

This is a nice idea, but I honestly cannot see the sense in taking a secure digital currency and copying it to a physical and unsecure medium?

You expect people to trust this, if they have to upload their private keys to you?

Rob, that is probably the only way people should use it. Also, there are probably PHP scripts out there to generate addresses. That way people would not have to be directed to bitaddress.org which might cause people to believe it is an all offline process. |

Okay, This is pretty damn neat. I believe this will stop the whole "Pay me for paper money" bullshit I've seen flying around as of late. HOWEVER. I'd rather be able to take this offline and print my bitcoin check that way.. I don't think he's going to blatantly scam you if he's got the source code up. I've downloaded it and will be taking a peek here tonight. I'm sure someone will beat me to it.
Not all users however are going to know how to setup a private web server. So may I suggest that a later build be geared for offline use?

I am not trying to discredit anyone. The one who came here claiming it was a scam was you. I didn't even contradicted you, just asked where was the code that sends the private keys to a server. The proof burden is on you. Are you from this world, dude? |

So no investigation by you at all and instead of posting your concerns in a reasonable way, you run around yelling scammer. Damn trolls. |

As I understand it, you can download the source code, run it locally on a webserver thats disconnected from the internet to generate your PDF bills. Thats not a scam, thats a great idea. If you are too lazy to set up your own webserver, and you dont trust the OPs hosted solution, then dont use it. Its fine to point out potential security risks, its not fine to call this a scam IMO. |
