Create HD Wallet

The following code creates a new Bitcoin HD wallet:

# create_btc_wallet.py

from pywallet import wallet

# generate 12 word mnemonic seed
seed = wallet.generate_mnemonic()

# create bitcoin wallet
w = wallet.create_wallet(network="BTC", seed=seed)

print(w)

Output looks like this:

$ python create_btc_wallet.py

{
 'coin': 'BTC',
 'seed': 'tool innocent picnic fluid silent ask minute scheme rural crumble decrease rescue',
 'address': '1CPG2MU2fbXKfqi3pdBF3WaiodE28uB6ns',
 'xprivate_key': 'xprv9s21ZrQH143K4WwrikXgmThRVAXko6oSNKcG5AUyRhYQCmmUX18eZUpcB98T3DP73jqgq7JrLEaXLkUs5cQ4HnCmtVuNVTbfRx9GRB1duuX',
 'xpublic_key': 'xpub661MyMwAqRbcH12Kpn4h8beA3CNFCZXHjYXrsYtaz35P5a6d4YSu7H962Rt1nzo6q5rhHmTCTcxSaNFG2UtAQdy4pAuLqaz5gAmSx76t5Ab',
 'wif': 'KzkcdtrAPY3CctyzLJARA3rC8gUHEdrk1V8hN3GGE2UHJvaFEhA2'
}

Similarly, you can do the same for an Ethereum wallet:

# create_eth_wallet.py

from pywallet import wallet

seed = wallet.generate_mnemonic()
w = wallet.create_wallet(network="ETH", seed=seed)

print(w)

Output looks like this (no WIF for Ethereum):

$ python create_eth_wallet.py

{
 'coin': 'ETH',
 'seed': 'cactus father lecture ahead strategy parrot genre kind crew lock merit unfair',
 'address': '0x6497148e392fc5703db95be03cc5cbb81009d3b2',
 'xprivate_key': 'xprv9zJtR6McPYXYpQGeUgAy219NSPBiHXmP8kzwsMJVRjGd86r4cDgZotQJaXH1TAZ2MSFKoPE6pYUe3cTEgRAdwXKt9enhoc7PnF7opkwdBqP',
 'xpublic_key': 'xpub6DJEpbtWDv5r2tM7ahhyP966zR2CgzVEVyvYfji6z4obzuBD9kzpMginRnczVeuxXjvQFEGDEgdKzTB4r8Q2aUUa5GAZxDfogChbrZxj3Cj',
 'wif': ''
}

* Valid options for network are: BTC, BTG, BCH, LTC, DASH, DOGE

Create Child Wallet

You can create child-wallets (BIP32 wallets) from the HD wallet’s Extended Public Key to generate new public addresses without revealing your private key.

Example:

# create_child_wallet.py

from pywallet import wallet

WALLET_PUBKEY = 'YOUR WALLET XPUB'

# generate address for specific user (id = 10)
user_addr = wallet.create_address(network="BTC", xpub=WALLET_PUBKEY, child=10)

# or generate a random address, based on timestamp
rand_addr = wallet.create_address(network="BTC", xpub=WALLET_PUBKEY)

print("User Address\n", user_addr)
print("Random Address\n", rand_addr)

Output looks like this:

$ python create_child_wallet.py

User Address
 1FxgaPRGHcY7JGg5jqdwx4kYgiP3xB1aX7
Random Address
