cryptux

================================================================

A simple wallet for cryptocurrencies that can:

* Create, import, export accounts

* Sign transactions

================================================================

Usage

================================================================

The interactive tool ``cryptux`` is meant to be simple:

.. code-block::

    $ cryptux

    usage: cryptux [-h] [-t {BITCOIN}]

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      -t {BITCOIN}, --coin-type {BITCOIN}

                            coin type to generate account address for

At the moment of writing, only Bitcoin is supported. Ethereum account support is coming soon.

================================================================

Developer Guide

================================================================

Before trying to run ``tools/cryptux`` locally, make sure it uses local libraries by running:

.. code-block:: bash

    python setup.py develop

It's highly recommended that you use the package ``virtualenvwrapper``.

To test the changes without publishing to PyPI, force pip to install from local dir:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install -e /path/to/cryptux

Publishing to test PyPI can be done via this command:

.. code-block:: bash

    python setup.py sdist upload -r testpypi

Use ``flake8`` to detect ``PEP8`` violations and format code nicely using ``yapf -i``, do check the project `YAPF `_.

================================================================

Bitcoin

================================================================

There are 3 ways to generate a Bitcoin address with ``cryptux``:

* Generate from private key in HEX

* Generate from private key in WIF format

* Generate private key offline and derive account address

A sample session would go like this:

.. code-block::

    $ cryptux -t BITCOIN

    Private key format (WIF/HEX/NEW): new

    Network type (MAINNET/TESTNET): mainnet

    Public key format (COMPRESSED/UNCOMPRESSED): compressed

    ================================================================

    Remember to protect the Private Key!

    ================================

    Private Key in HEX: 7161B2F99B4F0DB740C27A35B55FDDAE0FD90A8C23789291106667D29F1859F6

    Private Key in WIF: L127LBiTmhFXoXsz1qymwNrbsmk1s71kBycoi5VH3i22tDekzYY1

    ================================================================

    Network type: MAINNET

    Public key format: COMPRESSED

    Generated Bitcoin address: 193GxFgNCtpvsYPnWErEvXNETgGiJ7HG5F
