A simple wallet for cryptocurrencies that can:
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.
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 <https://github.com/google/yapf>
_.
There are 3 ways to generate a Bitcoin address with cryptux
:
A sample session would go like this:
.. code-block::
$ cryptux -t BITCOIN
