It is a script bash that run some commands to generate a public, private key and compute the ethereum address of the new account.
Dependencies
Ethereum Generator. Ethereum Generator is the most innovative and fastest tool online to generate free Ethereum coins in just a few minutes without any investment! This generator was created by a group of cryptocurrency fans that wanted to offer everyone the possibility to own Ethereum. A private key represented as random words is safe. For a brute-force attacker such a private key is just as difficult to guess as the fully random 64 character ethereum private key. Also, words are much easier to write down or even remember. Is there a simple Ethereum address generator that consists only of private key and public key? Is there any Ethereum address generator that can just give me a private key and a public key that I can secure however I wish? Ethereum wallet v3 format.
- geth (only for account creation)
- constellation-node (only for node keypair creation)
