Make question more general, so similar questions can link here without superfically seeming different

Keys were just generated randomly, each individually, and added to a keypool. In old versions, OpenSSL's random number generator was used. You need to look at the source code for this, I don't think you can easily derive this from looking at the binary. | |

| Feb 12, 2021 at 4:51 | comment | added | rollsch | I want the actual release so I can see the UI for generating and saving the random seed. So I can assist with the off chance it is recoverable. I can't find any examples of what the random seed data (from moving your mouse) looked like. | |
| Feb 12, 2021 at 4:15 | comment | added | Pieter Wuille | @rolls Perhaps it is more interesting to ask directly how keys were generated in old versions of Bitcoin-Qt? A good answer would include references to source code to support its claims. | |
| Feb 11, 2021 at 3:18 | comment | added | rollsch | I want to analyse see how the random seed was generated in old versions, mainly the UI part, I don't plan on opening any wallets or doing any transactions. | |
