Documentation

These pages are generated from the Markdown that ships with the source. If the two ever disagree, the source is right and this site has a bug.

Manual

What Bitflash is, how to run it, wallets and recovery, mining, headless operation, and how nodes find each other.

README.md

Key derivation and address format

The specification that lets a wallet be rebuilt from twelve words without this software. Test vectors included.

docs/derivation.md

Release verification

How releases are checksummed and signed, and the audit a careful user or packager should run before trusting a binary.

docs/release-verification.md

Dependencies

The libraries a build pulls in, pinned by commit, and why each one is there.

docs/dependencies.md

If this project disappears

The derivation document exists for exactly that case. It writes down the paths, the address format and the encoding in enough detail to recover keys from the twelve words with ordinary cryptographic tools and no Bitflash code at all, and it ships with a self-contained script that reproduces the test vectors from scratch.

The project has already been removed from one host without warning. Keep a copy of what matters to you.
