Found a BIP0038 Private Key Encryption Solution for FTC

EDIT: Sorry meant to say, “Found a BIP0038 Private Key Encryption Solution for FTC”

I was searching for a way to create a private key with BIP0038 encryption for use in a cold storage situation for my crypto, especially my FTC, and ran into a app called Bippy. I didn’t notice it posted here anywhere, so I’m posting just in case some of you weren’t aware.

http://bippy.org/

It is made by the guy who created the command-line “inuit” wallet generator. I was looking for a way to do cold storage and really liked the concept of a laser etched metal card with a BIP0038 protected private key on it. It requires the installation of kivy which seems to be a framework on top of python, but it was straightforward to get it working.

Anyway I tested the app with FTC, BC, BTC, LTC, and DOGE and was able to create and retrieve my private key properly and all while offline.

I also found http://cryptocards.co/ which makes the type of card I wanted and asked them to add Feathercoin which they did this evening.

I ordered a few various types and will post my thoughts when I get them.

I’m not affiliated with any of the above companies or people, just liked the solution I could get by using both (I think the bippy people partner with woodwallets.io who make wood cold storage wallets). Anyway, hope this helps someone.
