Addressgen is a utility to generate private keys and their corresponding addresses for cryptocurrencies based on secp256k1. Currently, only Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin are supported, but in the future I will add support for more.
Addressgen is tested on Linux and Windows, requires Python 3.3 and a copy of libeay32.dll (Windows, obtained from OpensSL packages) or libssl.so (linux, openssl package).
Run "python3 genaddress.py"
usage: genaddress.py [-h] [-p PASSPHRASE] [-t] [-c] [-a STR] [-H HASH]
[-k KEY] [-e KEY] [-n COIN]
Generate Bitcoin Private Keys and Addresses
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PASSPHRASE, --passphrase PASSPHRASE
Use PASSPHRASE as the seed to a hash, the result of
the hash is used as the private key
-t, --testnet Generate testnet address
-c, --compressed Generate address using compressed private key
-a STR, --address-only STR
Hash160 STR and produce a Bitcoin address; no
corresponding private key is generated
-H HASH, --hash-type HASH
For -p only, specify the hash type to use [scrypt,
SHA256] (default: SHA-256)
-k KEY, --private-key KEY
Generate the public key and address from the given
Bitcoin private key
-e KEY, --bip32-private-key KEY
Generate the BIP32 public key and show information
from the Bitcoin extended private key
-n COIN, --coin COIN Generate an address for the given coin (BTC, DOGE,
LTC) [default: BTC]
