go-bip32

A fully compliant implementation of the BIP0032 spec for Hierarchical Deterministic Bitcoin addresses

Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/tyler-smith/go-bip32"
  "fmt"
  "log"
)

// Example address creation for a ficticious company ComputerVoice Inc. where
// each department has their own wallet to manage
func main(){
  // Generate a seed to determine all keys from.
  // This should be persisted, backed up, and secured
  seed, err := bip32.NewSeed()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatalln("Error generating seed:", err)
  }

  // Create master private key from seed
  computerVoiceMasterKey, _ := bip32.NewMasterKey(seed)

  // Map departments to keys
  // There is a very small chance a given child index is invalid
  // If so your real program should handle this by skpping the index
  departmentKeys := map[string]*bip32.Key{}
  departmentKeys["Sales"], _ = computerVoiceMasterKey.NewChildKey(0)
  departmentKeys["Marketing"], _ = computerVoiceMasterKey.NewChildKey(1)
  departmentKeys["Engineering"], _ = computerVoiceMasterKey.NewChildKey(2)
  departmentKeys["Customer Support"], _ = computerVoiceMasterKey.NewChildKey(3)

  // Create public keys for record keeping, auditors, payroll, etc
  departmentAuditKeys := map[string]*bip32.Key{}
  departmentAuditKeys["Sales"] = departmentKeys["Sales"].PublicKey()
  departmentAuditKeys["Marketing"] = departmentKeys["Marketing"].PublicKey()
  departmentAuditKeys["Engineering"] = departmentKeys["Engineering"].PublicKey()
  departmentAuditKeys["Customer Support"] = departmentKeys["Customer Support"].PublicKey()

  // Print public keys
  for department, pubKey := range departmentAuditKeys {
    fmt.Println(department, pubKey)
  }
}
