This is a fork of nsfmc's paperwallet, which is a fork of cantonbecker's bitcoinpaperwallet JavaScript powered offline bitcoin address generator. Please forgive the lack of Dogespeak in this README – this stuff is important.
After downloading the ZIP package for this generator, you should find a file
named index.html.sig
which you can use to:
- Verify that index.html hasn't been tampered with, and
- Get proof that it really was authored by Wells Riley.
$ gpg --recv-key F14D9476
$ gpg --verify --with-fingerprint index.html.sig index.html
And then verify the resulting signature's fingerprint against Wells Riley's published fingerprint at http://wells.ee/pgp.
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.

This project is a fork of bitaddress.org, the original trustworthy JavaScript powered offline bitcoin address generator.
This attractive paper wallet design is two-sided and folds up to hide the private key. Optional tamper-evident hologram tape can be purchased to provide extra security against snooping. This generator is ONLY for generating secure paper wallets, either using Javascript-based cryptography or by supplying keys you have generated using your own means (vanitygen, dice.)
Use bitaddress.org if you need BIP38, brain wallets, or bulk addresses.
- Extract the ZIP file
- Open up the 'index.html' file with your web browser.
- 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
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 verifiably identical to those in bitaddress.org. (Run a "diff" between this project and bitaddress.org if you want to be sure.)
You can also bypass the random key generator and supply your own keys or so-called "vanity addresses".
After downloading the ZIP package for this generator, you should find a file named index.html.sig which you can use to:
- Verify that index.html hasn't been tampered with, and
- Get proof that it really was authored by Canton Becker ([email protected]) whose GPG public key and fingerprint should be confirmed at http://cantonbecker.com
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 index.html.sig index.html
And then verify the resulting signature's fingerprint against Canton Becker's published fingerprint at http://cantonbecker.com
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.

Now Bitcoin addresses and their corresponding private key can be conveniently generated in a web browser.
The bitaddress.org project provides an all-in-one HTML document with embedded JavaScript/Css/Images. The JavaScript is readable not minified and contains no XMLHttpRequest's (no AJAX). The benefit of this technique is you can load the JavaScript locally and trust that the JavaScript did not change after being loaded.
Here is a link to the BitcoinTalk.org forum topic discussing this project: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43496.0

END USER NOTES:
- To print QRCode in IE8 you must enable the "Print Background Colors and Images" checkbox on the "Page Setup" screen.
- For Bulk Wallet I recommended using Google Chrome, it's the fastest.
- Requires IE8+, Firefox, Chrome or sufficient JavaScript support.
- Mobile Safari only works with iPhone4 or newer devices. Older devices timeout while executing JavaScript.
- DO NOT use Opera Mini it renders JavaScript output server side, therefore they might record the private key you generated.
- Art Wallet does not work properly in IE8 due to CSS limitations.
