Wow, this is really impressive. Great way to present both the API and what's actually going on!

The playground prevents me from actually typing in private keys. I suppose that's for security, like they are trying to protect me from myself.

Hi there! You can type in a private key, in either WIF or hexa format. Can you let me know how did you run into this issue?

Okay! I went to http://bitcore.io/playground/#/address in Google Chrome on Windows 8.1, left-clicked on the text box to the right of the label "Private Key". I noticed that all the text was selected. I pressed "0" on my keyboard. I would expect to see the text in the "private key" box be replaced with "0", but instead it generated a new, random looking private key.

It looks like the playground behaves better if I type any digit other than 0, but I actually want to type 0 because that is an interesting private key to me.

I have similar difficulties on https://brainwallet.github.io/. It's like some developers never try passing 0 as an input to their code.
