derivation32

Implementation of bip-0032 in rust for use on command line interface.

Advantages

• Freedom
  • This tool don't have the restrictions that almost all others have. It's capable of derive any child in any path that you want, any time you want. But remember: with great power comes great responsibility.

Disclaimer

• Don't trust, verify
  • Compare the results of this tool with others. Verify the implementation (and the tests). If encryption is used, test decryption until you are convinced that the passphrase you used was the one you wanted. Use at your won risk.

Features

• Address
  • Insert an address to show information about it.
  • Inform hexadecimal entropy or wif private key to generate address.
  • This tool show the respective address of a derived child in the legacy, segwit-nested and segwit-native formats according to the version prefix of the informed extended private key.
  • Custom separator
  • Customization of the default separator of information on result.
• Derivation
  • Receives an extended private key and show the derivation on default path (according to version prefix).
• Encryption
  • Optional encryption of resulting private keys with bip-0038 standard (option -e <passphrase>).
• Extended keys
  • Show the private and public extended keys of the derived path.
• Path specification
  • The option -p <path> can be used optionally to specify a custom path used to derive the extended key.
• Range of result
  • This tool optionally receives a range of child number to be showed (including hardened ones when is possible).

Recommendation

• Build and test
  • Always use the flag --release in cargo even for running tests. The encryption algorithm is intended to be heavy on cpu so, without the optimizations of a release build, running the tests will be a slow process. With --release all tests are done in seconds.
• Extended root keys generation
  • If you don't have mnemonic and corresponging extended root keys consider using mnemonic39
