How to use it

First launch Bitcoin Core so that the library can import the private keys.

Note	By default, the library is set to the regtest network and uses hardcoded 16 bytes entropy.

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator

or

git clone git@github.com:bitcoin-studio/bitcoin-test-wallets-generator.git
node generate_wallets.js

 

Run with a new set of entropy

Note	16 bytes entropy = 12 words mnemonic 32 bytes entropy = 24 words mnemonic

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator --entropy 16

 

Set the network

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator --network mainnet

 

Set the network and entropy

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator -n testnet -e 32

 

Verbose

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator -v

 

Help

npx bitcointestwalletsgenerator --help

 

Check that private key import was successful with the listlabels command in Bitcoin Core console
