Icecap is my own custom Bitcoin cold storage/paper wallet generator.

The main difference is to obfuscate the private keys for printing/cold storage so that if the paper wallet is lost/stolen, a thief can't merely just import the private key. It is intended that encrypted private keys never be stolen or get lost, but this is just one step more for added paranoia.

Changes from bitaddress.org include:

- Removing excess options (vanity wallet, brain wallet etc)
- Focusing on bulkwallet as the main method of generation.
- Generate AES encrypted private keys by default
- Generate QR codes (public address + aes encrypted private key)
- The ability to decrypt AES encrypted private keys (the key is displayed in the javascript console)

Development Plan:

- Prettify Generation
- Figure out why the AES library (same source, but different version) that comes with bitaddress.org fails to encrypt the keys.

Here follows the original bitaddress.org Readme:

bitaddress.org
JavaScript Client-Side Bitcoin Wallet Generator

Now Bitcoin addresses and their corresponding private key can be conveniently 
generated in a web browser.

The bitaddress.org project provides an all-in-one HTML document with embedded
JavaScript/Css/Images. The JavaScript is readable not minified and contains no
XMLHttpRequest's (no AJAX). The benefit of this technique is you can load the 
JavaScript locally and trust that the JavaScript did not change after being 
loaded.

END USER NOTES: 
 1) To print QRCode in IE8 you must enable the "Print Background Colors and 
    Images" checkbox on the "Page Setup" screen.
 2) For Bulk Wallet I recommended using Google Chrome, it's the fastest.
 3) Requires IE8+, Firefox, Chrome or sufficient JavaScript support.
 4) Mobile Safari only works with iPhone4 or newer devices.
    Older devices timeout while executing JavaScript.
 5) DO NOT use Opera Mini it renders JavaScript output server side, therefore
    they might record the private key you generated.
 6) Art Wallet does not work properly in IE8 due to CSS limitations.
