        # 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.
