If I understand correctly, Piper is still a legitimately made/secure paper wallet generator (if working) to this day, no?

Possibly. From the work we did years ago:

The original piper install had a switch on top that would allow you to save a copy of every wallet printed. At least with the new setup I am doing it does not work. No matter what it saves a copy. THIS IS NOT GOOD. There is a setting in the GUI that should shut it off but it does not I faked the switch with a jumper and it still saves them. I am not sure if this is a bug in the code or something in the different hardware or what. But I did spend too much time dealing with it till I moved on. I revisit it later.

And this from Ted (programmer)

Bit of a delayed update:

1) Programmer is re-doing most of the back end work on making the button work and some other changes. As he put it "I'm sure there is a worse way of doing what they did in the way that they did it, I'm just not sure how" No real ETA on it as it's being done during his free time which is why this update was so long in coming.
...

So if you are the only one who has access to it then it's probably secure.

We never could track down one of the original units, so the saving the keys may have been a bug due to different hardware.

The spaghetti code is another issue, probably nothing catastrophic there either if you are the only one who has access to the hardware.

I have an extra non-working unit you can use for testing if wanted.
It's not broken.. just needs the wires plugged back into the right place.
And I can confirm that these units did indeed save all previous wallets
Was a bit of a surprise when you plug them into a GUI.. interesting stuff for sure. Tongue
