warpwallet is a deterministic bitcoin address generator for the command line.
The address-generation algorithm has been implemented as described in Keybase/warp. All credit for the algorithm goes to the original authors.
Handle with care, if you intend to use this tool for generating a Bitcoin wallet, make sure you understand the risks of using brain wallets.
Said that, I am fairly confident that the implementation faithfully matches the original implementation (all tests created for the original tool have been added and are passing). So, if you think that the original tool is a safe way to generate a Bitcoin wallet address, this tool should be safe for usage as well.
Precompiled binaries can be found on the releases page. Select the one for your OS and arch.
Warpwallet may also be compiled from source wherever there is a Go compiler. Just clone the project and make build
.
Run warpwallet
on a terminal, it will ask for a passphrase and a salt, then it will generate a private key on WIF format and the corresponding version 1 Bitcoin public address.
I thought it would be cool to run warpwallet on a terminal.
