Developer Tips

Quickly generate a new seed to test with

Generate a new 12- or 24-word seed via https://iancoleman.io/bip39/.

Access a python3 environment that has the embit library installed (e.g. your own local machine, ssh into the SeedSigner, etc)

Start a python REPL session by just typing: python3

Paste in the following but insert your newly generated mnemonic:

from embit import bip39
seed_phrase = "smoke chimney announce candy glory tongue refuse fatigue cricket once consider beef treat urge wing deny gym robot tobacco adult problem priority wheat diagram"
data = ""
for word in seed_phrase.split(" "):
    index = bip39.WORDLIST.index(word)
    data += "%04d" % index

print(data)

For the seed in the snippet, you should see:

163803200074026607961827144306700411123603780160185419152013046908321497181700301371136719990487

Take the output and paste it into a QR code generator.

Start up SeedSigner's UI to import a seed from a QR code. Scan the new QR code and you're good to go!
