Crypto address generator from xpub
* Free software: MIT license
Features
--------
* generate addresses for multiple blockchains from extended public key (xpub)
* minimum dependency (it means security)
* CLI interface
Getting started
---------------
Install package using pip (prefer virtualenv)::
pip install coinaddress
And you can start use provided CLI. Read help first::
coinaddress --help
To generate 1000 addresses for bitcoin xpub from file (xpub should be a single line in this file)::
cat xpub.txt | coinaddress bitcoin 0 -n 1000
To generate another bunch of addresses::
cat xpub.txt | coinaddress bitcoin 1000 -n 1000
xpub can be passed with `--xpub` option but you should avoid this and prefer read from file for security reasons.
Using from code
---------------
You can use public python interface to convert addresses::
from coinaddress import address_from_xpub
address_from_xpub(
network='bitcoin',
xpub='',
path='0/0'
)
