Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it.

I did not download the paper wallet generator from Github. I thought I had tried it on the website in the past and it worked fine. I was actually planning on buying a cheap computer specifically for generating paper wallets (permanently offline) but when I tried the paper wallet generator and saw that it wasn't working, I decided to wait. I considered the website to be a demonstration, not the place to actually generate a wallet. But if the demonstration wasn't working correctly it would be a non sequitur to assume the offline version would be functional...unless I'm missing something.

The Livecoin exchange is suspicious indeed. I currently have a large order for Bata on Bleutrade for 1700 satoshis. This is causing some unexpected consequences. The Bittrex volume for Bata has dropped substantially. Bittrex, of course, usually has a much higher volume than Bleutrade. How Livecoin currently has a higher volume than Bleutrade and Bittrex is unknown. They do not have someone like me placing a large order, but I don't fully understand their user interface. But from what I see there is nothing to indicate or explain their high volume.

I see that Bata is switching to POS. My order has nothing to do with that. I do not mine any coins, except when I run my Audiocoin wallet. Somehow having my Audiocoin wallet open generates mined coins. I personally consider that an awesome feature and probably the only reason I continue to own Audiocoin. It reminds me a bit of the old days when I ran project SETI as a screensaver. I find it satisfying to have my computer actually doing something when I am not using it.

I attempted to mine coins in the past but found it beyond my competency. There were too many obstacles to overcome and too much uncertainty over what I was downloading. In addition I could not find a simple tutorial. I do not personally know anybody that mines coins even though I know plenty of computer people. I'm not sure why this barrier to mining coins persists.
