Sorry, I said I was not going to interfere, but one more post.

... let it sync with the blockchain, but with simplewallet ...

Finally somebody gives an intelligent response.

I want to create a wallet without having downloaded the blockchain, is it possible? Please don't say yes unless you've done it.

Thanks for at least mentioning the next logical step in my question, downloading the blockchain, instead of giving an empty robot answer like all previous responses.

My basic comment "nobody discussing..." referred more to something else.

With pesetacoin, for example, there has been a major warning in one browser, and there have been pages and pages spent discussing it.

Why? Because they want the coin to be user friendly. I don't understand, any person should be puzzled, by boolberry's seeming deliberate lack of attention to practical user issues like the security warning, while it caters to speculators.

Is it a currency? Is the purpose to create a currency? Or is the purpose only to attract speculators, and ignore real world issues? There is virtually no interest shown in using bbr as a currency. The entire focus is on speculative or related issues. Pick any coin at random on this website bct. Any coin at random, and you will see some discussion of how to encourage adoption. Bbr almost seems to exist in a cloistered world where the only users anticipated are those that are already here.

Thanks for finally taking some mental step to consider my question about an offline wallet, running the question in your head to the point of the blockchain download, rather than politely brushing the question off or answering it dishonestly, as others did.

add
with previous cn coins i speculated on i did download the blockchain, and that may be why i cannot create an offline wallet. is it necessary to have the blockchain to create an offline wallet with bbr?

...
Sourceforge is more than likely throwing a false positive kinda like how AV software can get triggered by mining stuff.

Okay, that's fine. There are a lot of false positives, I get that.

Let me ask you to guess about how many absolute neophytes have been drawn to bbr in the very long time that warning has been up. the answer is close to zero.

Imagine if bitcoin had the warning that bbr has. Pages on reddit would be filled with comments about it, user adoption would drop precipitously. An army of people would be doing things to solve it.

But with bbr it isn't even noticed? wtf

keep posting, your user experiences are valued

you don't need the blockchain to generate an address, you can start simplewallet, create a new wallet file and it will give you both a 24 word mnemonic seed and a wallet file with a password that you set

to do this, on the command line start simplewallet with a new wallet file

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet testwallet

where "testwallet" is the name you choose for your wallet, and also double check that you are running boolberry's simplewallet (if you have other cryptonote coins installed already)

after you set your password and save your mnemonic phrase, type address within simplewallet to see your new valid address.
