# crypto-key-tool
This is a simple CLI to verify Bitcoin keys and their addresses.
```
Usage: crypto-key-tool [OPTIONS] --private-key
Options:
-p, --private-key The private key to parse must be in either mini private key format, WIF, or a raw key in hex
-c, --compressed Whether the public key is compressed or not
-n, --network Which network to generate public address for [default: mainnet] [possible values: mainnet, testnet]
-h, --help Print help
```
Why would I want this? Well, a few reasons:
- you have a raw private key and want to know the public address
- you have a mini private key and want to know the WIF key
- you have a WIF key in an uncompressed format and want to convert it to a compressed format
- you have a WIF key in a compressed format and want to convert it to an uncompressed format
- you have a key for testnet and want to use it in mainnet or vice versa
Are they good reasons? Maybe not. It's not the most important piece of software.
