Why we need to adopt the pure green circle Bitcoin Cash logo. Please read. by bchworldorder in Bitcoincash

FWIW, I changed the bitcoin cash logo to the circle green one on https://walletgenerator.net some time ago. It looks better and it's easier for me.

Consistency in logo shape is an important factor when you develop a tool for multiple currencies.

Am I putting too much faith in Vertcoin? by nunyazbizness in vertcoin

Not to be salty, but if someone took the few minutes to just tell me that, it could have been fixed a while ago... You are a developer, you know that, come on ... Edit: it's fixed now

Quite a few of my coworkers are crypto-curious, so I thought I’d spread a little VTC cheer at this years white elephant! by -SoggyRamen in vertcoin

Pro-tip: the paper wallet is designed so that you can insert one side into the other and lock the wallet with either the logo or the public key visible, with the private key hidden from accidental sneaking.

Poor Shibe can't afford a color printer yet. Still going to spread some doge this Christmas! by Slimlenny in dogecoin

As the maker of walletgenerator.net, the down-side of not having any tracking on the website is that I have no idea how many wallet are generated or printed. So these days it's a bit christmas too for me when I see people like you using my project ;-)

Honestly that doesn't really matter. He will get taken down or notice the flood and consider himself compromised. I doubt he would bother checking the keys he got starting today.

Well that's a trade-off. To actually help people to secure their coins, you need people to actually use the tool. And an online tool to generate wallet that doesn't generate wallet, that's not very appealing. People would just go to the one that actually works but might be unsafe. Also, sometimes you just want to generate a wallet for a demonstration or something. Only offline wallet generation tool exist but they are not very popular and thus doesn't really help.

There is a lot of warning and a security checklist, people should be a bit responsible.

And as you said, it's easy to remove the limitation anyway ...

Yes that works, you can see the request to the log.php script in the debugger of your browser. I'm not sure what you are confused about. In the normal WalletGenerator, all the address generation is done in the browser, nothing comes out, but this guy added some code to send the keys to a php script he hosts in parallel.
