Examples

Creating a wallet

node index.js create alice

Creates a wallet with the name alice, outputs the menmonic and stores it in db.json.

Importing wallet by menmonic

node index.js import bob "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about"

Creates a wallet with the name bob, this time generating extended master and public keys and storing it in db.json.

Generating Addresses

node index.js generate alice 10

This will generate 10 unused addresses for alice and also update the db.json with the addresses.

Checking balance

node index.js balance alice

Prints the balance of alice, if a wallet by that name exists.
