Getting started

Install package using pip (prefer virtualenv):

pip install coinaddress

And you can start use provided CLI. Read help first:

coinaddress –help

To generate 1000 addresses for bitcoin xpub from file (xpub should be a single line in this file):

cat xpub.txt | coinaddress bitcoin 0 -n 1000
