Did anyone in here test that paperwallet generator? Because I really need my DigiBytes to be safe. Not on my pc, not on some exchanges, just on the blockchain.
I'm always afraid that there's some backdoor in those generators. Of course I could generate it offline (which i did with my BTC wallet), but still. I'm going to test it myself when I have the time, I need to know that it's 100% safe, before I put all my DGB's in it.
I haven't tested it fully the way you're asking - and that probably won't happen for at least a week or so - I will report back (and hopefully so will others). I did pull the code from the github site, and I looked it over. I'm not a super-fancy-special-expert so everything looked fine to me (no obvious security problems that I could see). I'd welcome any second - or third - opinions about that from anyone. I know it's a fork of the successful ltcaddress and btcaddress generator code - so it has the same strengths and weaknesses. I've also corresponded with the developer a bit.
Nothing is 100% safe. I actually think that paper wallets are fun as novelty items more than they are secure as storage. The digibyte-qt wallet - with a strong encrypted passphrase and multiple backups (onsite and off), is probably just as secure in my opinion.
I don't agree with you about safety. If you generate the keys in an offline environment (bootable Linux CD/USB) it's 100% safe.
I'm always afraid that the PC where I have my wallet on is infected with something. Not that it's very likely, but you never know.
What's your opinion about that? Or am I overreacting
I'll test the generator this week too + will check the code.
