How to use the BiSafe cold storage offline wallet

This video is about the cold storage wallet which is used for the cryptocurrency Bismuth. In order to validate the correct Bismuth address, I am first extracting the public key from the private key generated by the offline html site, and then hash the public key, returning the Bismuth address.

Download BiSafe: https://github.com/EggPool/BISafe
Download Bismuth: https://github.com/hclivess/Bismuth

Code snipets:
Use this code to receive the public key from the private key.

openssl pkey -in privkey.der -pubout

The following code is used (on a Mac) to turn the public key into a Bismuth address.

shasum -a 224 pubkey.der
