Hello,

I hope everyone is doing great.

In the very first post of this thread and also on http://unobtanium.uno/ there is a link to a UNO paper wallet generator which is https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html

Since I do not want to use this site online, I wanted to download the GitHub Repository with the link on the bottom of that site. This link however leads to bitaddress.org (the repository of the Bitcoin paper wallet generator), not the one for UNO.

Could maybe someone post the correct link (and ideally also change the wrong link on https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html)?

Thanks a lot
Kay

The block on info on Page One here is very good -- there is a list of merchants! Perhaps we should carefully vet it for our third birthday, which is not so very far away.

EDIT: Sigh. Looks like there are lessons to be learned here:  https://magoo.github.io/Blockchain-Graveyard/

Cryptapus might have it posted on his Github, but I'm not sure where it is exactly.

This Uno port of Bitaddress generates keys in your browser, not on the server.
Once it loads in your browser, disconnect from the internet. Now generate your paper wallet offline. Print it and close your browser window.

I have used this several times on airgapped machines to generate wallets. The signatures, checksums always match and it works fine.

We were already on ShapeShift for the longest time and after they got hacked, they never added us back.

I will simply not trust any new altcoin exchange at this point. Not unless they give plenty of good reasons to trust and use their platform. Had to remove way too many exchanges from our website over the past years...

I understand that with this Javascript paper wallet generator the addresses are created client-side in the browser. However, and I admit, I might be a bit paranoid here, but even when the laptop is disconnected from the internet while the addresses are being created, there is, in my understanding, still a chance that a virus or malware records what is going on and sends the created (private) keys somewhere as soon as the laptop is reconnected to the internet again. Not the most probable scenario, but still not impossible.

In order to create a cold storage for my UNO coins, I decided to do the following instead: I have an older laptop that never is connected to the internet, but is connected to a printer. On this offline laptop I installed the Electrum UNO client. There I select one of the public keys, retrieve the corresponding private key, and print both on paper. I've been doing this with many other altcoins (for some of them there is no paper wallet generator out there) and it's worked very well.

If you have the seed you can always recover your private keys and if you have those you can import them into another wallet if Electrum ever stops working.
But both the Electrum Wallet and Servers by Cryptap.us are on Github - so if everything else fails you could always set up your own server to reconnect to the network.

Sigh. Automated exchanges certainly have become 'the bottleneck' in the crypto thang. Can we trial a decentralised exchange?

Give me a few weeks, IconFirm, and I should be ready to try it. It would be fine if we could lead the charge on this. (Third Birthday in a couple of months.)
