So, Mike Caldwell, aka casascius, created this Bitcoin Address Utility ages ago. But due to some changes in .NET and different DLLs, it hasn't been buildable for years. The tool had some cool features like mini-key support for Casascius coins, bulk address creation, and paper wallet generation. You might recognize this image of a paper wallet that the tool made. Anyway, for anyone who's interested, I’ve updated it by moving it to .NET 10 and sorted out all the old code that was causing issues. You can find my repo here: https://github.com/odolvlobo/Bitcoin-Address-Utility and a binary here: https://github.com/odolvlobo/Bitcoin-Address-Utility/releases/tag/v1.1.1 If you hit any snags, just drop an issue on GitHub and I’ll take care of it.

This is great! What is the minimum Windows version that can run this? 10 I assume? I suppose this can also run cleanly on Mono, if one were to use this on Mac and Linux, right?

It should run on Windows 10, but it is not compatible with Mono.

I only know this paper wallet from [ANN] bitaddress.org Safe JavaScript Bitcoin address/private key (created by pointbiz) running in a browser, not from executable software. Did I miss something? And if so, why would you want a new executable for this if you can still use the browser version offline?
