At the end of this brief journey through incomprehensible digits and letters (in case you haven't already done so, I suggest reading the first and second parts), in this article we will talk about a cryptographic method that has had great resonance in recent years, even thanks to the…

When handling cryptocurrency-related stuff, like private keys, seeds, etc... we often hear things like "256 bits", "128 bits",... but what does it mean? Computers use their different type of memories to perform any kind of action. The smallest memory unit is called bit and it…

In previous posts we have seen how to use xpub keys to create view-only wallets and how to obtain them form our wallets. Handling our xpub keys we have surely noticed that some clients are only using keys starting with "xpub" and others are also…

Xpub keys can be very useful to monitor our wallets without exposing our private keys. Keeping it very simple, with our mnemonic phrase we are obtaining an xpriv key from which all private keys are derived and an xpub key from which all public keys,…

Creating a mnemonic phrase is a very sensitive operation that can be done in a lot of different ways. No one of them can be considered absolutely better than the others, we can only try to find out which one fits our needs in the…
