Re:Show HN: Sixty Large – wallet generator for cryptocurrencies

A few things that bother me:
- no QR codes
- no link to a Github repo where I can download it
- no randomization function to seed the generator
Additionally, I think best practices should dictate none of these paper wallet generators should display their functionality while they are connected to the Internet. All of us have a duty to build software that is secure and has clear intent. Users get confused easily.
As an aside, I gave the retired couple next door a paper wallet last night for letting me borrow their printer. I put $10 on it for ink. The husband is an ameuter astronomer and used to code, so he's technical. The wife said she's been watching for news about Bitcoin. She said that she heard something about "that mount place" and hoped they were OK. I told her to get some popcorn.
