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 corresponding extended root keys consider using mnemonic39
