Ethereum-BIP44

Generating BIP 44 compliant wallets for ethereum; Trial

Message Digest: m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index

Status: Not working; Project suspended; Generated address is not a compatible ethereum address

Better off using web3.eth.accounts.create([entropy]); and feeding in the message digest as entropy

or rather research more on bip39, BIP44 and BIP32

Installation: npm i bip39 ethjs-util ethereumjs-tx web3 hdkey --save

Error: Node Gyp needs a python 2.7 environment and doesn't support 3 yet

Switch environment using

• conda env list
• source activate python-2_7-old

Notes:

• None of dependencies provide complete solutions
• Need to export function wise from individual repos and combine to generate a HD wallet
• Need to research on underlying principles of tree and address generation to figure out what fits where and implement them
