--batch: command not found

[marissia]

Dear dearest author, I need your help and I cant resolve it alone, I was try cygwin and followed all instruction, used command
bitcoin-tool --batch --input-file 1mix.txt --input-format hex --input-type private-key --network bitcoin --public-key-compression auto --output-type address --output-format base58check --output-file r.txt
also
./bitcoin-tool --batch --input-file 1mix.txt --input-format hex --input-type private-key --network bitcoin --public-key-compression auto --output-type address --output-format base58check --output-file r.txt
-bash: ./bitcoin-tool: No such file or directory, but directory exits. I removed ./bitcoin-tool or bitcoin-tool and used command
--batch --input-file 1mix.txt --input-format hex --input-type private-key --network bitcoin --public-key-compression auto --output-type address --output-format base58check --output-file r.txt
I see --batch: command not found
I removed --batch and I see --input-file: command not found
and no results. What I do wrong?? I removed cygwin and installed ubuntu on win10 and same result. Command keys=99999 ; openssl rand $[32*keys] | xxd -p -c32 > hexkeys working good without any one mistake. which command I have to add on terminal to convert these hex keys to addresses??
Cygwin path to folder cd /cygdrive/c/bitcoin-tool/
Ubuntu path C:\Users\Diana\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\didi\bitcoin-tool if I am right? it is a right path? how I can add new file to folder to convert ,maybe wrong path?
I am girl but not stupid but here I feel I miss some small word in command, please help , I stay 1 week like this.

[matja]

I don't have a Windows machine to check, but this may help:

Ubuntu

enter:

sudo apt install git make gcc libssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

cd bitcoin-tool

make

If it compiles successfully, then you can run ./bitcoin-tool

Cygwin

Download and install Cygwin from https://cygwin.com/install.html

On the "Select Packages" step, select "view" as "full"
in the "Search" box, for each of these:

• make
• mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
• libssl-devel
• git

• in the "New" column, change from "Skip" to the latest version available.

Click "Next" to install packages.

Run the "Cygwin Terminal" shortcut on the desktop.

enter:

git clone https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

cd bitcoin-tool

make

If it compiles successfully, then you can run ./bitcoin-tool

[marissia]

I did everything by steps on cygwin . Attached picture please look.

[marissia]

And make error. What wrong I do??

[matja]

Can you try running as ./bitcoin-tool or ./bitcoin-tool.exe? You definitely need the ./ if it is not in the $PATH , but I'm not sure if mingw-gcc automatically adds an .exe suffix or not.

[marissia]

exe also no success, look please for it when I add make how many errors

but I can generate keys easy, cant convert only . Maybe problem with make command?

[marissia]

ubuntu now : Looking like works but
didi@HOME-PC:~/bitcoin-tool$ ./bitcoin-tool --input-type private-key --input-format hex --input-file hexkeys3.txt --output-type address --batch --output-format base58check > OUTPUTFILE.TXT
Failed to open file [hexkeys3.txt] (Permission denied) . what I have to do, why no permission?

[matja]

The user ID you're using in Ubuntu may be different than that which you're using in Windows - perhaps sudo chmod 644 hexkeys3.txt would work?

[marissia]

do maybe wrong folder I use? How I can know exactly path to folder with script?
sudo chmod 644 hexkeys3.txt asked password, added and back to didi@HOME-PC:~/bitcoin-tool$

[marissia]

I generated new keys by command keys=99999 ; openssl rand $[32*keys] | xxd -p -c32 > hexkeys4
and in same time converted to addresses it works!!
after convert to addresses
./bitcoin-tool
--batch
--input-file hexkeys4
--input-format hex
--input-type private-key
--network bitcoin
--public-key-compression compressed
--output-type address
--output-format base58check irs works!
but now if Iwant add my own keys to folder, where is that folder located ?how I can find it ?

[matja]

With that command - remember not to use any of those addresses, because the random keys it uses are not saved anywhere.

It sounds like you're using WSL so the path you had in the first comment (C:\Users\Diana\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home) I think would be where you can copy files from Windows to the Ubuntu file-system and vice-versa.

Also - please also run make test to run all the test, it should say all tests passed at the end if all is good.

[marissia]

I finished successfully with keys generated by bitcoin tools and I see this folder with ready addresses, added new file with my own keys:
./bitcoin-tool --input-type private-key --input-format hex --input-file 1mix.txt --public-key-compression compressed --output-type address --batch --network bitcoin --output-format base58check > r2.txt
Failed to open file [1mix.txt] (Permission denied) Again , maybe I have to change permissions to this folder but how I dont know.
Everything works now exept my own file, what solution ?

[marissia]

can I generate keys start from and end, not random? for example begin from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000 and end 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001ffffffff by this command keys=99999 ; openssl rand $[32*keys] | xxd -p -c32 > hexkeys.txt what to change? can I do it ??

[matja]

what does ls -l show as the owner and mode of the file? perhaps you can chmod 644 the file to make it readable, or chown it to your user?

You can generate input like that with :

for ((i=0x100000000;i<0x1ffffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done

and use with bitcoin-tool like:

./bitcoin-tool \
--batch \
--input-type private-key \
--input-format hex \
--input-file <(for ((i=0x100000000;i<0x1ffffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done) \
--output-type address \
--network bitcoin \
--public-key-compression compressed \
--output-format base58check

[matja]

Note: please do not actually send any bitcoin to addresses generated like that, it is extremely insecure.

[matja]

Not really sure if WSL is different - but chmod u+rw hexkeys3.txt should fix it, or if that fails sudo chmod u+rw hexkeys3.txt.

[marissia]

Its works after command sudo chmod u+rw hexkeys3.txt !!!
thank you tooo much for your help dear bro!!
Can I convert addresses in one time compressed and uncompressed or have to do it by 2 times?
I saw here soe command like --public-key-compression auto but it doesnt work , asking only one type

[marissia]

I try your command
./bitcoin-tool
--batch
--input-type private-key
--input-format hex
--input-file <(for ((i=0x100000000;i<0x1ffffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done)
--output-type address
--network bitcoin
--public-key-compression compressed
--output-format base58check
it works very good
but if I want change range for example adding some extra zero 0x10000000000 nothing happen. what i have to change and where?

[matja]

bitcoin-tool can't convert to two different compression types in one step, but you could use some shell features to do it:

# define convenient alias
alias bt='./bitcoin-tool \
--batch \
--input-type private-key \
--input-format hex \
--input-file - \
--output-type address \
--network bitcoin \
--output-format base58check'

# create named pipes for input keys and output addresses
mkfifo /tmp/hexkey /tmp/compressed /tmp/uncompressed

# create input keys, convert to addresses and write to seperate named pipes
( for ((i=0x100000000;i<0x100000005;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done ) \
| tee \
  >(cat >/tmp/hexkey) \
  >(bt --public-key-compression   compressed >/tmp/compressed  ) \
  >(bt --public-key-compression uncompressed >/tmp/uncompressed) \
  >/dev/null

# merge lines of each file in order
paste /tmp/hexkey /tmp/compressed /tmp/uncompressed

# cleanup
rm /tmp/hexkey /tmp/compressed /tmp/uncompressed

output:

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000 1FJPqZKbJMP4Q44Jm5gJrnovnQBzuULQwG 1MZjW9QGUn254PG3xYkdXEDz8wM4EcuQpb

I added few zeros to input
--input-file <(for ((i=0x100000000000000000;i<0x1fffffffffffffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done) \
it doest work, why?
I need generate all this keys , not addresses, from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000000000000 to
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001fffffffffffffffff it is possible?
this command work --input-file <(for ((i=0x100000000;i<0x1ffffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done)
but output I need hex keys , help please!

[matja]

Bash integer variables are only 64-bit, that's a 68-bit range, too large for bash numbers to express.
It would take a long time anyway - my CPU can do about 2000 addresses per second so it'd take (2^68)/2000/86400/365 = 4679539338 years

[marissia]

OMG )) Thanks by anyway for everything,

[marissia]

Dear matja i want generate random keys and as I understand I cant generate more than 67 000 000, maybe you have one new command to generate as I want? I use this command keys=67000000 ; openssl rand $[32*keys] | xxd -p -c32 > key1.txt success, but more cant rand: Value "3168000000" outside integer range, no any solution?? help pls...

[matja]

It's a limitation in openssl, try dd if=/dev/urandom bs=32 count=67000000 | xxd -p -c32

[marissia]

thank u, it work, success!!

[marissia]

Dear matja ! Can I convert compressed wif private key to uncompressed wif? and any wif to hex format?? Which command is right?

[matja]

Yes, you'd need two commands, you can store the output or run them as a shell command substitution.

Create example compressed WIF private key from a hex key (000...001):

./bitcoin-tool \
--input $(printf "%064x" 1) \
--input-type private-key \
--input-format hex \
--output-type private-key-wif \
--output-format base58check \
--network bitcoin \
--public-key-compression compressed

KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU73sVHnoWn

Put the key in a shell variable $WIF for convenience.

Convert WIF key to a hex key, then convert hex key to uncompressed WIF key:

WIF="KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU73sVHnoWn"

./bitcoin-tool \
--input $( ./bitcoin-tool \
  --input "$WIF" \
  --input-type private-key-wif \
  --input-format base58check \
  --output-type private-key \
  --output-format hex ) \
--input-type private-key \
--input-format hex \
--output-type private-key-wif \
--output-format base58check \
--network bitcoin \
--public-key-compression uncompressed

5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf

Check the output is correct by converting the uncompressed WIF key back to hex:

./bitcoin-tool \
--input 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf \
--input-type private-key-wif \
--input-format base58check \
--output-type private-key \
--output-format hex

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

[marissia]

how I can mass convert? ok from wif to hex only, and after easy. I try now too many variations, doesnt work. example ./bitcoin-tool --input $( ./bitcoin-tool --input-file 1.txt --input-type private-key-wif --input-format base58check --batch --output-type private-key --output-format hex) > wifsss.txt --input-type private-key --input-format hex --output-type private-key-wif --output-format base58check --batch --input-file wifsss.txt --network bitcoin --public-key-compression uncompressed > keyss.txt . what I did here i smile. please hepl me only one command, I have file with wifs, i want convert it to hex all in one time

[marissia]

./bitcoin-tool --input $( ./bitcoin-tool --input-file 1.txt --input-type private-key-wif --input-format base58check --output-type private-key --output-format hex ) --input-type private-key --input-format hex --output-type private-key-wif --output-format base58check --network bitcoin --public-key-compression uncompressed --batch > wwf.txt I try by one key it work good but cant convert mass by this command

dear, Matja! I want generate some keys by command for ((i=0x01;i<0xffffff;i++));do printf "%064x\n" $i;done > keys.txt , everything good but how I can generate without zeros? if I have keys like this 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000fffff and I want be like fffff only? please give me command for it if possible and amount of keys for example i want only 1000000 from this range? . thank you

[matja]

You can just use %x as the printf format specifier:

$ printf "%x\n" $[0xfffff]
fffff

Or use another program like sed with a regex to remove the leading 0's, which might be useful if you want to change it in other ways:

$ printf "%064x\n" $[0xfffff] | sed 's/^0\+//'
fffff

But that example has an odd number of hex digits, which is not padded to whole number of bytes, which might confuse some tools:

$ echo fffff | xxd -r -p | hexdump -C
00000000  ff ff    |..|
00000002

= two bytes of ff, the leading f disappeared - oops.

...so you can just remove all the leading 00's which represent whole bytes:

$ printf "%064x\n" $[0xfffff] | sed 's/^\(00\)\+//'
0fffff
