@k06a please, what is seed public key? does the user have to provide seed public key?

[k06a]

@eulerbeat provide public key from any private key you own, you will need to add "profanity2" private key to the private key of this public key. I will add few ways to compute public key from private key to readme.

@k06a If you're certain that this software works, the docs may need to be made more clear.

My current understanding was: Generate keypairs using openssl ("KeyA") Use Public KeyA as -z parameter for Profanity2 to receive Wallet Address and Private KeyB Generate the final wallet PK with hex((0xPrivateKeyA + 0xPrivateKeyB) % 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEFFFFFC2F)

However, the resulting key does not resolve to the wallet address as expected.

(Additionally, I would recommend enabling GitHub Issues in these early stages)

Edit for throwaway example:

Hopefully I'm simply misunderstanding something.

@DefiDebauchery maybe this happened to you sure very rare bugs:

Always verify that a private key generated by this program corresponds to the public key printed by importing it to a wallet of your choice. This program like any software might contain bugs and it does by design cut corners to improve overall performance.
