ICP is so decentralised that to run a node you have to buy it from “approved distributors”. Lol. What a pile of garbage
The above snippet will convert your secret into a private key. Use this private key as an argument to pycoin's ku command (https://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin) — this will generate multiple lines of output, including your private key reformatted as “wif” and ”uncompressed” bitcoin private keys. Import the ”wif” and ”uncompressed” bitcoin private keys into a new Electrum bitcoin wallet.

Two out of the top three paper wallet generation sites are dodgy (bitcoinpaperwallet.com & walletgenerator.net)
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
