Description

This extension generates a new BTC address for you to use as a paper wallet.

Features:
1. Generate a random seed using the native method (crypto.getRandomValues)
2. Improves the randomness using your browser metadata
3. Supports increasing the randomness by altering values with the mouse movements
4. Displays the statistic of how the generated keys are random
5. Uses a clean code without any external dependencies
6. Exports the generated key without the need to copy the content to the clipboard
7. Has a clean code hosted on GitHub so that anybody can review (the source code is much smaller than other similar tools so it can be reviewed easily)
8. Uses a very strict content security policy (CSP) to prevent any internet access
9. Can be launched on an incognito window to improve privacy
10. Has a built-in tool to check if the page has internet access or not
11. You can import any WIF private key either compressed or uncompressed ones to verify their checksum and reconstruct the seed associated with them.

Privacy Policy:
This extension does not have any permission and has no internet access whatsoever.

Note:
1. Use the extension at your own risk. I am not responsible if things do not work.
2. This tool can only generate BTC addresses. Do not use it for other altcoins.

FAQs:
1. Why do I need a new paper wallet generator?
I needed an open-source project with a minimum possible code so that I could simply verify it. There was none!

2. How can I verify the codes that are generated with this extension?
To verify that this tool works on your machine, generate a few keys and verify them on other tools. Almost all wallets accept importing private keys. I would recommend generating at least 10 dummy keys and verifying all of them before generating your real key. Verification consists of two parts: 1. the private WIF key has a valid checksum (so that it can be imported). 2. the private key results in the same public key that this extension displays.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
