An easy to use python script that collects entropy through the microphone and generates a printable paper wallet.
Install git, python3 and pip (if needed):
sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ASeriousMister/Mic2Paper
Move to the tool's directory
cd /path/Mic2Paper
Install requirements (read above for Python virtual envitonments):
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
There may be some dependency problems, if so try installing portaudio19-dev with
sudo apt install portaudio19-dev
then install requirements again with
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Additional resources, needed to generate printable pdf files:
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
for Windows install WKHTMLTOPDF
Run the tool:
python3 mic2paper.py
User simply has to start the tool and wait until it collects entropy. At the end, the tool will show private keys and public addresses and, if wanted, generates a printable paper wallet in the PaperWallet directory. If user does not want to generate the printable paper wallet, keys are not stored anywhere. QrCodes of the information can also be obtained with tools like qrencode or QtQR.
The tools supports the following coins, to add more simply edit the code referring to hdwallet documentation for the correct symbols
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Litecoin
- Bitcoin Cash
- Bitcoin SV
- Dash
- ZCash
- DogeCoin
- Bitcoin Testnet
- Monero
Install python virtual environments
pip3 install virtualenv
Now move to DiceTracker.py's directory,
cd Mic2Paper
create a virtual environment (in the example named dtve, but you can choose your preferred name)
virtualenv mpve
and activate it
source mpve/bin/activate
The name of the virtual enviroment should appear, in brackets, on the left of your command line. Now install the dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Additional resources, needed to generate printable pdf files:
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
Finally, run the tool
python3 mic2paper.py
The tool may encounter some issues running with recent Linux distros, due to incompatibility with ripemd160 hashes used by the hdwallet library. To solve this you need to edit the /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file, making sure that it contains all the following lines:
openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
providers = provider_sect
[provider_sect]
default = default_sect
legacy = legacy_sect
[default_sect]
activate = 1
[legacy_sect]
activate = 1
This ool comes with no guarantees. Do your own research about how this tool works and in general about how cryptocurrency keys work before using it.
