Description

Application to generate Bitcoin wallets using wallets (HD). It creates Bitcoin addresses and private keys from a randomly generated mnemonic phrase. The application supports both the main Bitcoin network (mainnet) and the test network (testnet).

Dependencies

bip32: Library for working with HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) keys.
bip39: Library to generate and manipulate mnemonics (recovery phrases).
bitcoinjs-lib: Library for Bitcoin operations, such as creating addresses and transactions.

Installation

Clone the repository and install the dependencies with the following command:

git clone <REPOSITORY_URL>
cd <PROJECT_DIRECTORY>
npm install

Usage

To generate a new Bitcoin wallet, navigate to the src folder "cd .\src", and run the following command:

node .\createWallet.js

This will generate a new mnemonic phrase, a private key and a corresponding Bitcoin address, which will be displayed in the console.

Exit

Address: <BITCOIN_ADDRESS>
Private Key: <PRIVATE_WIF_KEY>
Seed: <MNEMONICA_PHRASE>

Network Configuration

Mainnet: To generate addresses on the Bitcoin mainnet, uncomment the line const network = bitcoin.networks.bitcoin.

Test Network (Testnet): To generate addresses on the Bitcoin test network, use the line const network = bitcoin.networks.testnet (default setting).

Notes

Security: Keep your private key and mnemonic phrase in a safe place and never share it with third parties. Control over the private key implies control over the funds associated with the address.

Testnet vs. Mainnet: Use testnet for development and testing without financial risk. Mainnet must be used for real transactions and with real funds.
