NuBippy - BIP0038 style encryption and vanity addresses

[masterOfDisaster]

It’s good to have a community that tries to be attentive
Thank you for the upgrades!
Unfortunately there’s not yet a mobile wallet so you have to wait until I’m at my computer at home

Thanks,

I’m not up on Android development but I was just having a look at some of the open source stuff from bitpay (https://github.com/bitpay).

I was thinking that ‘bitcore’ might be a useful port. How does a NuBit web wallet sound?

[masterOfDisaster]

Although web wallets are quite comfortable, I have some reservation using them due to security and availability aspects.
Multisig would help to recover the coins in case the services went offline.
And for storing small amounts it might be a feasible solution (at least for me).

So basically I think a web wallet can be fine - under certain circumstamces.

[CoinGame]

I’m all for any NuBit related service existing.

[woolly_sammoth]

That was my thought.

As both NuBits and NuShares are based on Bitcoin, most of the existing open source tools should be portable to work with Nu.
There are a few quirks of the Nu system but where would the fun be if everything was easy all the time?

I think it is the right time to cross link to this post:

Discussion : A bounty-program manager custodian (?)

tl;dr : What do you think about committing a certain amount of funds to the creation and initial funding of a bounty-like program for nu-related projects ?

There is now a Windows installer for NuBippy available here:
http://bippy.org/nubippy/

It has been tested on windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) and works OK. There’s a little work needed on the vanity address generation as the vanitygen screen displays. That’s a job for another day though.

Next on the list is to get the same done for Mac. Watch this space…

Awesome! Will be trying it out tonight.

Maybe it is me, but I couldn’t get the file to download. When I follow the link through reddit there is also a typo in the download link. But even when removing the space in front of the URL it still ends up with a message that it can’t find the file.

I did manage to download the zip from Github, but this is not an easy to install/ready to go version. Still hope that one can be made available as I just like to have a look at it and play with it.

[woolly_sammoth]

Oops, that’s my fail for not proofing my reddit posts. Sorry, I’ll edit that in a moment.

Try going to http://nu.bippy.org for the download apage. If that fails, the direct link is http://bippy.org/installers/NuBippy_installer.zip

(the download page is better for me as the download button keeps track of the number of downloads for me)

[CoinGame]

the download button on nu.bippy.org still doesn’t work. i’m not sure why. I just get this message in chrome.

[woolly_sammoth]

Hmm weird. Does the direct link work for you?

It must work for some people as it’s had ~12 downloads! (tomorrow, the world!)

I’ll try and debug later when I’m by a laptop

[CoinGame]

The download counter increments when I click it. I see it go up one after I go back to the main page.

When I try to use the direct link I get this:

[woolly_sammoth]

Doh! That’s the download stats up the swanny!

Could you try nu.bippy.org again. I’ve just changed the forwarding settings as I think that was where the confusion was.
If that’s bad still bippy.org/NuBippy

[woolly_sammoth]

Alright, I’m now on a proper laptop and had a look.

The download link is fixed and now works from http://nu.bippy.org.
Apologies for the confusion all round.

Any other issues, please do give me a shout

[CoinGame]

All gravy. Works for me. Thanks.

[tomjoad]

Just downloaded it from www.nubits.com and it works great! The vanity address is a fun tool to use and very easy.

so i was wanting to make some Nu paperwallets today, and i just generated an encrypted privatekey from nubippy, then decrypted it using nubippy, then went to go import into nud. “Invalid private key”

Anything special i need to do?

thanks

teek

[CoinGame]

I actually just tested this, and it worked fine for me. Are you sure there aren’t any extra characters in the private key you’re importing? Either at the start or at the end? You’re sure it’s the decrypted private key that you’ve pasted and not the encrypted one?

You could try https://walletgenerator.net/?currency=Nubits l. If you have trouble importing the key from the website as well then it’s gotta be something wrong with what you’re entering.

[teek]

Wow, i was right about to answer “yes to all 3”

However it seems there was something hidden at the beginning of the private key, because i stripped the beginning hidden char off the private key and now nud takes it no problem. If i just ctrl-c then paste the address into to my putty session where i am running the nud rpc command it will not accept it.

silly me, thanks!!
