The original site derived a Bitcoin wallet from your e-mail address and password. The same derivation runs here, inside your browser: the e-mail and password never leave this page. The site only receives public keys and signatures, and uses them to find the works and editions your wallet controls. Network: Bitcoin mainnet.


Those early wallets were derived from the password alone.

What happens when you log in

  1. Your browser rebuilds the wallet root key from password + e-mail (pycoin BIP32, exactly as the original site did).
  2. It asks the site for a one-time challenge and signs it with the root key. The root address never appears on the blockchain; it only identifies your account here.
  3. It derives the addresses whose timestamp path the site already knows (verified registrations, addresses linked earlier) and proves the ones that belong to your wallet with a signature.
  4. Addresses whose path is not known yet can be found afterwards from your wallet page with the path search.

There is no password reset: the password is the key. Without it the wallet cannot be rebuilt, here or anywhere else.
