WalletGenerator.net VS BitcoinJS

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.

Inspired by the popular Coinb.in open source wallet and powered by bitcoinjs-lib, my hot wallet is designed to provide a secure and easy-to-use experience while also adding unique features that make it stand out from the competition. It will be installable (PWA) and very easy to use (BEGINNER FRIENDLY). I'm also going to make it open source. Other cool features like an HD wallet option with auto-change address after every transaction, increasing security and anonymity, are on the roadmap.

You could also probably rely on a JS library to do the above: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib

Checkout the bitcoin sdk for a language of your preference and try, this can help build the transaction. Javascript for example: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib ( disclaimer: i never used it, only is a example )

There is also bitcoinjs which is a fantastic and quick way to get hands on coding experience with bitcoin.

If you want to learn up, start here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcoinjs-lib

MyDoge isn't open source, similar to major social media platforms. However, the wallet functionality is built on well-known, trusted open source libraries: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib https://github.com/novalabio/react-native-bip39 https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip32 https://github.com/emeraldsanto/react-native-encrypted-storage

https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib looks secure and reliable

The only interaction I had with that development team (at least I think it was that team) is that they were looking for a JS lib to do front-end transaction creation, and I pointed them to bitcoinjs-lib. Haven't heard anything after that.
