stacks-gen

Generate all the keys needed for use with Stacks 2.0 Mining and Stacking

prerequisites

You will need to have node.js and npm installed first. Head over to the node.js download page

usage with npx

If npx is not installed, install it first

npm install -g npx

Then you can use this command

npx -q stacks-gen sk --testnet

-q is not required, but it will avoid displaying compilation warnings.

Install the package

npm i -g stacks-gen

Then you can use this command (or other ones, see below for more details on the options)

stacks-gen sk --phrase "pass on the milk or the world will end very very soon"

npx stacks-gen sk

  • stacking: the value to use when sending to the stc-stack function on the stacking contract
  • btc: the BTC address you need to fund for mining
  • wif: the Wallet Import Format key to use with bitcoind (this is your BTC private key), where you'll get your stacking rewards (do not not share!)

Command

sk (secret keys)

Options

  • --help: displays the help
  • --phrase "phrase", -p "phrase": provide the secret phrase to use, useful if you already have one
  • --testnet, -t: genereate keys suitable for testnet
  • --version: displays the version
  • --words 12|24, -w 12|24: generate a 12 or 24 words secret phrase

NOTES

As of 9/26/2020, this does not work in the sandbox from the explorer, as the Stacks address used is the one derived for an app, not the one directly from the seed phrase. Once the explorer uses Connect, then this will work.
