It's not necessarily to protect the wallet in storage. Encrypting the private key means you don't have to trust the security of your printer.
And if you're worried about forgetting the passphrase, you can just write it down on the wallet itself. Same portability and long-term safety but without the risk of a printer (or operating system printer cache file) security breach.

Thank you,
I am considering this. I'm not sure a folding wallet design and BIP-38 is necessary. It seems like a folding wallet design is only important if the private key is unencrypted.

It would be great and more secure. Please consider adding BIP0038 support.

Hi,
This is the best argument I've heard yet for BIP38 -- the idea that it doesn't mean you have to memorize the password. I'm definitely going to implement it. I just need to wait for some of the dust to settle at bitaddress.org since they're still refining this bit of code.
Also, I'd like to see BIP38 wallet importing added to the majority of browsers first. I don't like the idea of producing wallets that only a minority of wallets can import.

I too would love to see BIP38 support. This means I can store an extra copy with a friend and not worry about it being compromised.

Sorry, but BIP38 is a nobrainer. Implement it or be left behind.

I would love to have BIP38 optional. So I can print 1 raw version without BIP38, and a few passphrase secured keys to save them at a friend's place without the risk that someone withdraws them

Concur. This is needed.

I'd love this feature, and I don't mind having a BIP38 private key combined with the folding design. Like jstaryuk said, the password or the password hint can be written behind the fold, so it's still quite useful.

Don't worry, fresswolf. The change I implemented doesn't force you to use it.. It's disabled by default, but is available there in case you need it ;)

Hello everyone, especially artiomchi,
Thanks for using your elfin Christmas magic to work on a pull request. :) I'm definitely interested in implementing BIP38 and I'll look into this pull request as soon as the eggnog wears off.
I suspect there might be a few issues to work out, in particular revising the front side graphic of all 10+ wallet designs so that they don't have "Wallet Import Format" hard-coded in the JPG itself. Oi! This will have to be CSS.

FYI, BIP38 is coming in the next few days. Here's the preview. I'm happy for any comments.

How to use BIP38 ?

Thanks for reminding me about this old URL. This was a preview URL. I’ve fixed it so it redirects to the live (regular) generator which has supported BIP38 for a couple of months now.
Enjoy!
