How do I get the master address and master key right after create the wallet about gotham-city HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey,

I think that the name "master key" is misleading (cc @oleiba mention this point as well).
This master key is basically a root secret share that can be used to generate keys and addresses in a deterministic way. You should try to generate new address : this will print you the testnet address to the screen. If you need also the public key : should be found in the wallet.data file

Hi,
Thank you @omershlo , I think that the misleading come from the white-paper
Part 2: A General ThreshSig wallet

• Distibuted Key Generation (DKG): A multi-party algorithm to generate a public key (a blockchain address) and secret shares of the private key.

If I understand right, means we only have 1 public key and 1 private key (inform of multiple shares). Could you help me clarify this?

You should try to generate new address : this will print you the testnet address to the screen

If now I run this 4 times
"./cli wallet -a"
I will get 4 addresses which are technically equal? And I can get 1 of them to publish outside and start to receive BTC to this?

Thank you very much.

you will get 4 addresses, each one of them is derived deterministically. you can use each one and publish outside and start to receive TESTNET btc
