A Recovery Phrase generator for Mac, Linux, & Windows
(BIP-39 "mnemonic" compliant)

Production-ready reference implementation built with DASH SDK Core.

dashphrase generate -o ./words.txt

cat swing flag economy stadium alone churn speed unique patch report train

dashphrase seed ./words.txt "" -o ./seed.hex

Use for anything that needs entropy that can be communicated over the phone,
or printed and stored in a safe place.

(this is what a cryptocurrency "Wallet" is, by the way - just 12 words)

Developed for (but not specific to) DASH.

Install

1. Install node.js

   # Mac, Linux
   curl -sS https://webi.sh/node | sh
   source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env

   # Windows
   curl.exe https://webi.ms/node | powershell

2. Install dashphrase-cli

   npm install --location=global dashphrase-cli@1

3. Use the dashphrase command to generate recovery phrases (mnemonics)

   dashphrase generate -o ./words.txt
   

Usage

You can generate a recovery phrase

dashphrase generate [-o ./words.txt]

And convert it into a seed (e.g. for DashHD or DashWallet)

dashphrase seed <./words.txt> <./secret.txt> [-o ./seed.hex]

Help

See the latest help:

dashphrase help

It's probably still pretty close to this:

dashphrase-cli v1.0.0 SDK v1.3.5

USAGE:
    dashphrase <subcommand> [...]

EXAMPLES:
    dashphrase gen --bits 128 -o ./words.txt
    dashphrase decode ./words.txt -o ./entropy.hex
    dashphrase encode ./entropy.hex -o ./words.txt
    dashphrase seed ./words.txt "" -o ./seed.hex

SUBCOMMANDS:
    gen|generate [--bits 128] [-o ./words.txt]
    decode                    <./words.txt> [-o ./entropy.hex]
    encode                    <./entropy.hex> [-o ./words.txt]
    seed        [--no-verify] <./words.txt> <./secret.txt> [-o seed.hex]
    zoomonic                  [secret-salt]   prints zoomonic & seed
    catmonic                  [secret-salt]   prints catmonic & seed

Test Values

These are values for use in documentation, examples, test fixtures, debugging, etc

Zoomonic

Words:

zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo wrong

(easy to remember because it's a zoo, and the checksum is wrong)

Seed (Zeed), using "TREZOR" as secret salt:
