# cryptux

A simple wallet for cryptocurrencies that can:

* Create, import, export accounts
* Sign transactions

## Usage

The interactive tool `cryptux` is meant to be simple:

```
$ 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.

## Developer Guide

Before trying to run `toos/cryptux` locally, make sure it uses local libraries by running:

```
python setup.py develop
```

It's highly recommended that you use the package `virtualenvwrapper`.

Use `flake8` to detect `PEP8` violations and format code nicely using [yapf -i](https://github.com/google/yapf).

## Bitcoin

To generate a Bitcoin address one is given 3 choices:
+ Generate from private key in HEX
+ Generate from private key in WIF format
+ Generate private key offline and derive account address

A sample session would go like this:

```
$ cryptux -t BITCOIN
Private key format (WIF/HEX/NEW): new
Network type (MAINNET/TESTNET): mainnet
Public key format (COMPRESSED/UNCOMPRESSED): compressed

Remember to protect the Private Key!
