# Warpwallet | ||
|
||
**warpwallet** is a deterministic bitcoin address generator for the command line. | ||
|
||
The address-generation algorithm has been implemented as described in [Keybase/warp](https://keybase.io/warp). All credit for the algorithm goes to the original authors. | ||
|
||
## Disclaimer | ||
|
||
Handle with care, if you intend to use this tool for generating a Bitcoin wallet, make sure you understand the risks of using [brain wallets](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet). | ||
|
||
Said that, I am fairly confident that the implementation faithfully matches the original implementation (all tests created for the original tool have been added and are passing). | ||
So, if you feel confident that the original tool is a safe way to generate a Bitcoin wallet, this tool should be safe for usage as well. | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
Run `warpwallet` on a terminal, it will ask for a passphrase and a salt, then, from the input, it will generate a private key on [WIF](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format) format and the corresponding [version 1 Bitcoin public address](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses). | ||
