=======

Generate a Bitcoin private key and its corresponding

address from throwing a dice.

Borrows code from:      http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/

Depends on: https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinlib

Installation 

-------------------------

1. Clone the above github repository

2. Place this script inside the created folder (python-bitcoinlib)

Usage 

-------------------------

Simply run the script and start throwing your dice. After every

throw enter the result on the screen. Repeat 100 times for 256 bits

of entropy with a dice with six faces.

Options:

-------------------------

1. `--faces`

 With the `--faces` option you can specify how many sides your dice has. This will automatically adjust the number of throws required to produce the desired amount of entropy (default: 256 bits).

2. `--entropy`

 The amount of required entropy can be changed using the `--entropy` option (default: 256 bits).
