Suggestion.
This command does not store password in bash history:
java -jar target/epwg-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -d data -p $(read -s -p "password: "; echo $REPLY)

need to verify if the JAXX import feature actually works. It appears to not. I will follow up to seeif there is another ios wallet that might work.

Hi, could you tell me how I can send funds to another account through your api?

Morning,

Got this working this afternoon and noticed an error in your script for creating the wallets. Current script example has the pass phrase wrapped by SINGLE inverted commas -- these need to be DOUBLE inverted commas.

Cheers

Mik

Hi. Sad story short. In the beginning of this year (2021) I was new in crypto world. I've found this repository to create my first ethereum wallet in offline mode. I use MacOS. I've run command

# '123445asdff' was my password (not real one)
java -jar target/epwg-0.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -d data -p $(read -s -p "123445asdff"; echo $REPLY)

I already do not remember all details but somehow it gave me the wallet file. Then I mined there for 3 months with one low-end GPU on 2miners (0.1 eth) and later on ethermine (0.01 eth) pools. Then I changed my wallet on new one (because I've bought couple mid-range new GPUs) and haven't used this wallet for a while. Today I remembered that I have some Ethereum money/coins and wanted to send it to my second wallet and here I've found out the saddest thing ... the wallet that was generated is wallet as the wallet on main page (readme) - my password wasn't used but default one as on screenshot. And someone has generated the same wallet/password/privatekey and used it to transfer my ethereum to another wallet, it can be seen on etherscan (https://etherscan.io/address/0x47f71c6ee2e7d538c7554ec650bd7e536dc9057b).

This is my fault for sure. To prevent this for happening seems there should be added some randomness when password is not provided or empty, or something unexpected has happened.

This is not my main account, just didn't want that my colleagues see how stupid I was )
Thank you.
