uniqid() is a standard PHP function, just FYI. But seriously, check that user's trust page before you jump in to help.

Nice catch! For the next time this comes up, I wrote a little standard-library-only Python script that converts a compressed WIF into an uncompressed one: That Ian Coleman page/tool you pointed to works well, but, for…

no biggie. your code shows you might not get the difference between compressed and uncompressed WIFs. the ending logic isn’t right. remember that a WIF starts with 'K' or 'L' (52 characters) or '5' (51 characters).…

try running this command on a copy of your PEM file (I’m using a Debian-based Linux with openssl): Based on what you described, the output will tell you if it's a key on Bitcoin's curve (secp256k1). If it is, take…

Great info, but don’t take my comment wrong, your wallet actually does match that 12-byte pattern you mentioned.

You guys might be wasting time with a chatbot. Posting a broken Bech32 address and responding with thanks doesn’t look good. Seems like AI is at play here.

No worries! Looks good to me.

Yeah, slicing a 128-bit string from a longer random string can help fix that bias. But it seems like you might not have grasped the bias issue fully. Let me explain: pretend you’re running a test...

You’ve actually made it a bit biased now... This is a common pitfall. By looping until it’s exactly 128 bits, you remove the chance of generating a true 128-bit value with a leading bit of 0. In hex, that means your…
