EOS key generator

in eos •  7 years ago 

What assurances are there that the code is safe and free from any bugs in the private key generation? I don't mean to cast doubts but personally do not have the knowledge to audit the code. It would be re-assuring if some members of the EOS community could vouch for the code.

Also, thank you for making this as I prefer to avoid the MetaMask dependency.

You're welcome.

Can't give any assurances. You can look into the github repository history and you can see its directly forked from eos repository. Ive not added anything to the code just removed bits that were not needed for address generation.

can i generate EOS public and master key using EOS.io site? why not just use EOS.io instead of using your private generation key?

eos.io works only if you have some soft of web3 injector (like metamask). Some people will not have that installed and would want to use some other tool. If you can use EOS.io website that is probably the best way to do it:P

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Sorry, but I did not get it. I hold my EOS on Ledger Nano S and I registered it through the MEW website. I generated key on eos.io website. Is it ok then?
