# btcbrain
Transforms a passphrase into a valid BTC wallet.
It uses the SHA256 Hash function to derivate private key from passphrase.
## Why?
I needed a way to regain access to my wallets without depending on any physical instrument.
## Install
`npm install -g btcbrain`
## ... Or run directly
`npx btcbrain`
## Usage
```
btcbrain transforms a passphrase into a valid BTC wallet.
Options:
-l Generate legacy address.
-s Use scrypt instead of sha256.
-p Show private key in WIF format.
-q Show also QR code.
--help, -h Show help.
Usage example:
btcbrain -p -q #Show private key in WIF format and QR code.
```
## Tips
You can access your account with a wallet capable of importing private keys in **wif** format (Wallet Import Format) like [Electrum](https://electrum.org/#download).
Do not use simple phrases as these are vulnerable to dictionary attacks.
