WalletGenerator.net VS bitcoin-tool

Without being able to look at your wallet, I can’t judge exactly what happened when. However I will point out that the code on https://github.com/walletgeneratornet/WalletGenerator.net hasn’t changed since before the vulnerabilities came about. Therefore I would assume you downloaded the code from the live site during the period it was vulnerable. And I would further assume that you immediately generated and used a physical paper wallet. This would have exposed your key, either because it phoned home or because the wallet you generated was one of a known non-random set. Either way, on checking the wallet and discovering coins in it, the bad actor was able to drain it either immediately or at a future point in time.

I found a website called walletgenerator.net that lets you create paper wallets, but back in 2018 a vulnerability was discovered where duplicate key pairs were generated and potentially stored on the server. They provide the website source code's GitHub repo for the at the bottom of each page. My question is: if you were to download the source code and run it on an offline PC, would it be safe again?

You can create a paper wallet (just one private code and one public address) based on your random mouse movements. There is a website for this. https://walletgenerator.net/ Download the website and run it on an offline computer (to be sure your address isn't sent back to anyone) and print out the paper go to atm to deposit money. I did this for a small "buried" treasure if any kids solve a cryptographic puzzle on a map in our home.

So I want to create a paper wallet for PIVX cryptocurrency, did some research online and stumbled upon https://walletgenerator.net/

As an example, I create a new keypair at https://walletgenerator.net/ : - Public 12gycnkMdc8MgLZjZHAjhf7wG5J3n9Yyii - Private 5JFTbTKucZa9WZCZemCBWF2MhxSGwLmqwotiY4THYY1SW8xbQXG So, if I import that private key into Electrum, I get the same public key. What if I generate a new receiving address?

If you're looking for something a little more sophisticated this is more likely what you're looking for. https://walletgenerator.net/

I generated this wallet using walletgenerator.net last year. I put about 1 bitcoin in it.

Download bitcoin-tool from https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool Compile it and follow the instructions

You can use bitcoin-tool to convert the key from Bitcoin WIF to hex, and then from hex to Litecoin WIF, then import into Electrum-ltc using p2wpkh-p2sh:T.... https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

Obsolete, because it's not SegWit Try this: https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

cd /usr/local/src curl https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool/archive/refs/heads/master.zip -O -L unzip master.zip cd bitcoin-tool-master make test <-- this compiles and tests the app cp -iv bitcoin-tool /usr/local/bin/

Also, https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool Written in a portable programming language

If you want to generate random keys, one at a time, and you have the knowledge and discipline to keep secure backup copies of all your keys, try bitcoin-tool https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

There's a non-deterministic key generation tool, but only for people who understand how to make key-set backups, and when to make a new backup https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool Not suitable for engraving on metal

For many years, I have used bitcoin-tool for one-off Litecoin keys https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

If you're using Linux, you might find this useful https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

I use bitcoin-tool https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool But the same questions apply. How do you trust the C code in bitcoin-tool? I think if bitcoin-tool gives the same result as one of the javascript wallet generators, the developers of the different apps are unlikely to be conspiring
