Supported Address Types
Legacy (P2PKH):
- Format: 1...
- Best for maximum compatibility
SegWit (P2WPKH):
- Format: bc1q...
- Lower fees than legacy
Nested SegWit (P2SH-P2WPKH):
- Format: 3...
- Compatibility with older wallets
Taproot (P2TR):
- Format: bc1p...
- Most efficient modern format
Security Best Practices
- Always run the tool on a clean offline system
- Memorize or physically store your mnemonic phrase
- Use strong passwords for encrypted wallets
- Verify address generation with a hardware wallet
FAQ Section
Q: Is this tool safe to use?
A: Absolutely. The tool runs offline and never transmits data externally. All cryptographic operations occur locally on your device.
Q: Can I recover lost funds with just the mnemonic?
A: Yes, the 12-24 word mnemonic phrase provides full access to your wallet through any BIP39-compatible wallet software.
Q: What's the difference between mainnet and testnet?
A: Testnet uses valueless Bitcoin for testing, while mainnet handles real cryptocurrency transactions.
Q: How do Taproot addresses improve privacy?
A: Taproot makes all transactions look identical on-chain, whether they're simple payments or complex smart contracts.
Q: Why choose offline wallet generation?
A: Online tools potentially expose private keys during generation—offline tools eliminate this risk entirely.
