keytree.py
==========
- Make sure you have Python = 3.10
- CD into the cloned repo
Examples
--------
- Derive 10 keys from a given mnemonic: ``./keytree.py --end-idx 10``
- Generate a new mnemonic, print 10 derived addresses from it, then also save the mnemonic to an encrypted keystore file: ``./keytree.py --end-idx 10 --gen-mnemonic --save mykeystore.json``
- Load the mnemonic from an existing keystore file: ``./keytree.py --load mykeystore.json``
- To see all private keys and the mnemonic phrase, use ``--show-private`` (only
use it after you look around and ensure there is no one else looking at your
screen)
- Use arbitrary UTF-8 string as your mnemonic ``./keytree.py --custom --save mykeystore.json``
- Show Fuji testnet address format ``./keytree.py <your options> --hrp fuji``
- Generate a new mnemonic and also use a 2/3 Shamir's secret sharing (3 shares, recoverable with any 2 of them): ``./keytree.py --gen-mnemonic --gen-shamir --shamir-threshold 2 --shamir-num 3``
- Recover a new mnemonic from the previous example and save it to a keystore file: ``./keytree.py --recover-shamir --shamir-threshold 2 --shamir-num 3 --save mykeystore.json``
Caveat
------
The above instructions use a frozen, full clone of all dependencies that is
shipped in this repo (more secure, recommended, only works on x86-64 Linux).
If you instead do a normal pip install (``pip3 install --user .``) and use
``keytree.py`` (without ``./`` prefix), it will use the latest deps fetched by
pip.
Portable Binary
---------------
Use ``./keytree-0.1.2-x86_64.AppImage`` in place of ``./keytree.py``.
