JavaScript address generator for Zcash

3rd Party Applications

We have many JavaScript based address generator for Bitcoin, e.g. bitaddress.org, coinb.in etc. But, is there any JavaScript based address generator for Zcash? I think, one would be great as there are many non-miner Windows users who want to buy Zcash very early from miners, but can not do so in absence of a Windows wallet.

Thatā€™s a fantastic idea. Any such tool available yet?

I guess, everyone is busy in mining to book quick profit. No one bothers about Zcash in the long run.

This could have been a good project.

Private keys generated by bitaddress.orgā€™s code work fine as input to zcashdā€™s importprivkey command, to control an associated t-address.

But, how do you get the matching t-address, short of doing that import and noticing which new t-address appears in the output for getaddressesbyaccount ""?

Well, there is a process for converting a Bitcoin 1-address into corresponding ZCash t-address, as controlled by the same private key.

Inspired by @Voluntaryā€™s C-code for such a conversion, Iā€™ve made a Nodejs version thatā€™s viewable/runnable on the web in a notebook at Runkit.com. See:

Bitcoin 1-Address to ZCash t-Address

Read the caveats there carefully before using the notebook or associated web-service to create t-addresses

I ran the followingā€¦

https://runkit.io/gojomo/baddr2taddr/1.0.2/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

Getting the following errorā€¦

{
ā€œerrorā€: ā€œinvalid_serverā€,
ā€œmessageā€: ā€œThe requested document does not export an ā€˜endpointā€™ function. Read more about endpoint: RunKit: Endpoint Documentationā€
}

Oops! When I added the demonstration of inline-use ā€“ ā€˜INSERT_BITCOIN_ADDRESS_HEREā€™, an error for people to correct in their own cloned notebooks ā€“ I broke the ā€˜endpointā€™ export.

It should be fixed now, in version 1.0.4:

I made the request a few times before on the forum, but since this is getting very close to what Iā€™m looking for Iā€™ll do it once moreā€¦

Please add Zcash to the universal paper wallet generator (javascript) GitHub - MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net

Thanks

Hi there,

Do you know how easy it would be to get this script running completely offline? Iā€™m not sure how to get the dependencies workingā€¦

Thanks,
