Title: Any way to locally generate address/privkey for popular coins?
Post by: andy_nyc on May 19, 2018, 06:57:34 PM
Hi guys,

I'm looking for a library/command-line-tool that would allow me to generate a public/private address pair for the most popular coins (ie btc, eth, erc-20 tokens, ripple, etc.) I've found vanitygen-plus supports a lot of cryptocoins, but it doesn't support ETH, for example. And if I want to generate an ETH pair, I would have to use some other tool. If I'd want to generate a ZCash pair, I would have to use zcash-specific library. So it becomes sort of a mess. Is there a one-to-rule-them-all solution?

Does it have to be a vanity address? If not, you could download a multi coin wallet (Exodus, Coinomi, Jaxx), turn the internet off and create the wallet and everything will be derived from the seed instead of having multiple addresses/private keys to hold.

It doesn't have to be a vanity address. The only requirement is to be able to create a wallet programmatically, eg from a terminal or with a library.
