Bitcoin encrypted/multi wallet bash script

[BitterTea]

I couldn't determine the best place to put this, so Discussion seemed like a good place.

I've created a bash script that will allow you to easily manage multiple wallets, which when not used are encrypted using GnuPG. All you need is to have Bitcoin and GnuPG installed and accessible through your path.

For some reason it's not running on my system but I noticed on line 128 you prompt for a name for the wallet and pressing enter leads to it being deleted. Seems easy to screw up by mistyping enter.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with that either, but didn't feel like displaying another menu. I'll see if I can fix that.

I modified the script so that you are prompted to 1) encrypt and save, 2) rename, or 3) delete an already existing wallet.dat

Wow. That's a whole lot of bash scripting. I'd never heard of srm and shred. I've been using ascii symmetric encryption, but am considering public keys with a smart card. I've replicated my encrypted wallets in git, which I highly recommend. Gpg and git help me sleep soundly at night.

gpg  -o wallet.dat wallets/mywallet1.asc
gpg -ca wallet.dat wallets/mywallet2.asc; rm wallet.dat
