As you all are most likely aware of, it is possible to import any SHA256 hash as a bitcoin wallet private key. You can generate SHA256 hashes on this website: http://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator/

Is it possible to check on an offline computer which bitcoin address it corresponds to? I'm thinking about creating a brain wallet on an offline machine to store bitcoin on. Thank you for any help Smiley

see my gocoin wallet.

in your case, you'd have to convert the SHA256 values into the private key base58 encoded strings and put them into .others file.

but you can also just feed the wallet with a memorable seed password and it will create 250 deposit addresses for you.
just remember that my algo of calculating the hash (private key) is different.

then you use the same software to spend your coins (sign transactions) at an offline pc.
for that you will also need a tool called "balio" (assuming you don't want to run gocoin node).
