Generating Addresses

Bitcoin addresses will be generated from the supplied BTC_MASTER_PUBLIC_KEY.

Bitcoind setup

• Set txindex=1 to index all transactions.

Tips

If you will be using a wallet like Electrum to manage the funds, the master public key you find there is not the one you should place here. The key placed here can be derived the following manner:

ruby scripts/electrum.rb master_public_key_you_see_in_electrum

Of course, test that the addresses generated by this application are the same as the receiving addresses in Electrum.
