qx

qx is a command-line tool that provides a variety of commands for key management and transaction construction, such as random "seed" generation, public/private key encoding etc. qx cab be built and distributed as a single file binary, which works like the swiss army knife of qitmeer

entropy (seed) & mnemoic & hd & ec
    entropy               generate a cryptographically secure pseudorandom entropy (seed)
    hd-new                create a new HD(BIP32) private key from an entropy (seed)
    hd-to-ec              convert the HD (BIP32) format private/public key to a EC private/public key
    hd-to-public          derive the HD (BIP32) public key from a HD private key
    hd-decode             decode a HD (BIP32) private/public key serialization format
    hd-derive             Derive a child HD (BIP32) key from another HD public or private key.
    mnemonic-new          create a mnemonic world-list (BIP39) from an entropy
    mnemonic-to-entropy   return back to the entropy (the random seed) from a mnemonic world list (BIP39)
    mnemonic-to-seed      convert a mnemonic world-list (BIP39) to its 512 bits seed
    ec-new                create a new EC private key from an entropy (seed).
    ec-to-public          derive the EC public key from an EC private key (the compressed format by default )
    ec-to-wif             convert an EC private key to a WIF, associates with the compressed public key by default.
    wif-to-ec             convert a WIF private key to an EC private key.
    wif-to-public         derive the EC public key from a WIF private key.

addr & tx & sign
    ec-to-addr            convert an EC public key to a paymant address. default is qitmeer address
    tx-encode             encode a unsigned transaction.
    tx-decode             decode a transaction in base16 to json format.
    tx-sign               sign a transactions using a private key.
    msg-sign              create a message signature
    msg-verify            validate a message signature
    signature-decode      decode a ECDSA signature
