This tool generates the first receiving address, in the first account of a BIP44 HD wallet. It also generates the 24 word BIP39 mnemonic phrase which was used to seed the wallet. It is important that you keep this seed phrase private. It is the only way to access your HNS coins. Do not share your mnemonic seed phrase with anyone that should not have access to the contents of the wallet.
NOTE: we recommend running this software on an air gapped computer. Running this software on compromised hardware will leave you in danger of losing funds.
