Bitcoin Address Utility
Bitcoin Address Utility
Bitcoin Address Utility is an open-source program I maintain which does a variety of things. In general, whenever I write a Bitcoin-related utility, I tend to add it to this program, so it has become a “Swiss army knife” hodgepodge of various things I have created. This program runs natively under Windows, but because it was written in C# it will also run under Linux and Mac OS using Mono, a free software tool that allows C# / .NET programs to run without Windows.
The source code can be found on github at
The binary can be downloaded from my website at (this file also includes the source code from which it was built).
Functions include:
- A calculator that lets you convert between private and public keys, hex and base58, bitcoin and altcoin addresses, etc.
- Bulk Bitcoin address generator
- Paper wallet printer
- Decrypter for encrypted private keys
- Self-escrow utility
- Intermediate code generator (used for creating encrypted paper wallets)
- Physical bitcoin insert printer (the small round private key paper found in Casascius Coins)
Announcements on Bitcointalk I have made related to this utility:
