It is designed to be used on a live operating\nsystem, on an offline computer. The generated secret keys\nshould immediately be either encrypted or split (e.g. with\n[gfsplit](https://git.gitano.org.uk/libgfshare.git/)) and stored on a\nbackup medium (I'd recommend CDs/DVDs).\n\nI created this tool because I found the official `monero-wallet-cli` to\nbe cumbersome, when I just want to generate a cold wallet. I also wanted\nto create a cold wallet generator, which has so little code, that most\nprogrammers could understand it in an afternoon and thus don't have to\ntrust the author.\n\nDisclaimer: I am no cryptographer, no one has audited this code and I\nhave not audited the code of the libraries used. This is why I recommend\nto only use this tool on an offline computer with a live operating\nsystem - this way no information can leak.\n\n# Installation\n```shell\ngit clone 'https://github.com/codesoap/iglu.git'\ncd iglu\ngo build\n# The iglu binary is now available at ./iglu.\n# You could also install to ~/go/bin/ by executing \"go install\".\n```\n\n# Usage\n```console\n$ # Generate a cold wallet:\n$ iglu\nsecret spend key: 29781966850873b9ec183034adf768ec3bcec4fb4cc1f4fa1297e8225fedb107\nsecret view key : 6bab3f01864689e642e50a3545a8acce811326c989dc0abf3c9c5b6099c4540d\nprimary address : 43msgHu241y1nUxfpnhWiq89V93BQd6CoJgmShqk5j2L7csCM5oajPXP9KiN1CZHgbH1BTewKBwLLBv5Fd1ZLRj13ZcvHGH\n\n$ # Generate some subaddresses as well (with the default account index, which is 0):\n$ iglu -s 5\nsecret spend key: 5fd25f12c7fed7aee8d28482f1416a1294ee4fe6fd2bb21188e98d99103cfb00\nsecret view key : 3b7c7c44dcbd325fbaa853f981f902f7e5796f910ffa33b09d5bef1d1926ef05\nprimary address : 42CG9g8gJDCSUpGJMTs3ysDiZXhZaM7bN55acbSXryCM5zPDdrj5pypGnU1y228k477PdTG2AJ2gtT6zp1X3wcmf8MWQzDo\nsubaddress #0001: 87rnnAk44w7GSyMi3SmhpxL7t27gULE5gThkE1sxBgZ3fnRbKiTqmzL1nNQCdX8e3MRjrcE6pkkLkCeZ6USmVvwrSx19HGD\nsubaddress #0002: 833eUGbvtiNdGU65KVF8fzLVuCih9CUgk3pUnwTaRNW29j534hMLXTc63KguHPrJpXBfE94SRJ2PoB19QNbQsF5i5Tm99Qk\nsubaddress #0003: 88GyHdbWhSbBNVzLeCXzWWa6C5zvVP9uLHf5FoPQYCR7Cuug1UKHv5ibxBteEcXaQeawRLjScjxMKPopWvERWrEo76MZgLP\nsubaddress #0004: 89Q5CWE3dQT3CoDN9CX5f5aZYojBgzHzsRHuHSd3GvxRbtQ45Soy7mhBBbZeMs28An2QavKYHD1uDdWfKsyiAXNxVERFvvJ\nsubaddress #0005: 834e6PYwzzvbxuHLU5GeBZ3biGVbT4d1gfBdomX8aqFw4AujV2WjZC3ND8EHhNLuMZSNzZxPwYSQgcoiKq1KfRDTMewxnmg\n```\n\nOnce you want to make your cold wallet a hot one, import the secret\nspend key like this:\n`./monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-spend-key \u003cwallet-name\u003e`.\n\n# Where is the mnemonic?\nIn order to keep the code simple and because I don't find it necessary\nfor a cold wallet, I have decided not to generate mnemonics here.
