**** LOOKING FOR THE ZIP FILE TO DOWNLOAD? ************************************ If you're on already at https://github.com/lordhelmut/bitcoinpaperwallet Then just look for the button that says "Download ZIP". Look to your right --> ******************************************************************************* *** Paper Wallet for Merchants *** This project is a fork of bitcoinpaperwallet, which is a fork of bitaddress.org, the original trustworthy JavaScript powered offline bitcoin address generator. This unique paper wallet design is for merchants to display by their point of sale or store windows. The private key is removed, and cleverly folds over itself to further hide the generated codes. This generator includes the same pseudo-random key generation as bitaddress.org, as well as support for creating wallets using "vanity keys", passphrases ("brain wallets") or even rolling dice or shuffling cards. As of March 1, 2014, this generator also includes support and designs for making Litecoin and Dogecoin wallets. Use the "verify" tab to decrypt a BIP38 password-encrypted wallet, check the integrity of any private key, or even duplicate an existing wallet by scanning its QR code. *** HOW TO USE THIS GENERATOR *** 1) Extract the ZIP file 2) Open up the 'generate-wallet.html' file with your web browser. 3) If you like you can select a different language or holiday theme 4) Follow the steps for calibrating your printer and then printing the front and back of each wallet. Use landscape mode when printing! Rendering and printing seems to work best using: OS X: Safari or Chrome or Firefox Windows: Chrome or Firefox Linux: Firefox When using Chrome on Windows, use the Chrome print dialog. Switching to the Windows system print dialog will produce corrupted/illegible keys. QR scanning works best using Firefox since Chrome will not access the camera controls when opening a locally saved HTML file. *** COMPARED WITH BITADDRESS.ORG and bitcoinpaperwallet.org *** New design for displaying codes for merchants. Images and resources have been moved out of the .html file (where they were base-64 encoded) and into an images directory to make the code easier to review. All cryptographic functions are verifiabley identical to those in bitaddress.org. (Run a "diff" between this project and bitaddress.org if you want to be sure.) *** HOW TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS DOWNLOAD *** After downloading the ZIP package for this generator, you should find a file named generate-wallet.html.sig which you can use to: * Verify that generate-wallet.html hasn't been tampered with, and * Get proof that it really was authored by Entropy Technology. The PGP key can be found at https://www.entropytechnology.com/pgp.asc For example, if you have GPG installed, you should be able cd to the appropriate directory and type in these two commands: gpg --recv-key 36E1D9B6 gpg --verify --with-fingerprint generate-wallet.html.sig generate-wallet.html If you get warnings like "This key is not certified, there is no indication that the key belongs to the owner" do not worry, this is normal. *** THANKS *** Special thanks to pointbiz/bitaddress.org and Artiom Chilaru/flexlabs.org, and Canton Becker for their significant contributions to this software.
