Private-Key-Generator

A private key generator using python

This is a simple private key generator, which does the following:

1. Prompts the user for a random input
2. Hash's the input using sha256
3. Verifies that the resulting hex is less than 2^256
4. Adds the version number
5. Adds a 32-bit checksum by double-hashing the hex
6. Convers the resulting hex to base58

This program makes use of the base58 file from https://gist.github.com/ianoxley/865912
