Usage

### Common Use Cases

### Generate a Bunch of Bitcoin Keys/Addresses

```js
var CoinKey = require('coinkey')

var bitcoinKeys = []
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
  // bitcoin supported by default
  bitcoinKeys.push(CoinKey.createRandom())
}
```


#### Generate a Bunch of Namecoin Keys/Addresses

```js
var CoinKey = require('coinkey')
// npm install --save coininfo
var ci = require('coininfo')

var namecoins = []
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
  namecoins.push(CoinKey.createRandom(ci('NMC')))
}
```


#### Parse a Wallet Import Key and Determine Crypto Currency

```js
var CoinKey = require('coinkey')
var ci = require('coininfo')

var ck = CoinKey.fromWif('QVD3x1RPiWPvyxbTsfxVwaYLyeBZrQvjhZ2aZJUsbuRgsEAGpNQ2')

console.log(ck.privateKey.toString('hex')) // => c4bbcb1fbec99d65bf59d85c8cb62ee2db963f0fe106f483d9afa73bd4e39a8a
console.log(ck.publicAddress) // => DGG6AicS4Qg8Y3UFtcuwJqbuRZ3Q7WtYXv
console.log(ck.compressed) // => true
console.log(ck.versions.public === ci('DOGE').versions.public) // => true
```


#### Change to Testnet Later

```js
var CoinKey = require('coinkey')
var ci = require('coininfo')

var ck = new CoinKey(new Buffer('1184cd2cdd640ca42cfc3a091c51d549b2f016d454b2774019c2b2d2e08529fd', 'hex'))
console.log(ck.publicAddress) // => 16UjcYNBG9GTK4uq2f7yYEbuifqCzoLMGS

//change to Testnet
ck.versions = ci('BTC-TEST')

console.log(ck.publicAddress) // => mkzgubTA5Ahi6BPSkE6MN9pEafRutznkMe
```


### API

#### CoinKey(privateKey, [versions])

Constructor function.

- **privateKey**: The private key bytes. Must be 32 bytes in length. Should be an `Array`, `Uint8Array`, or a `Buffer`.
- **versions**: An object that specifies the public and private key versions for addresses and wifs. Defaults to Bitcoin `mainnet`.

Keys are default set to `compressed` is `true`.

```js
var CoinKey = require('coinkey')
//npm install --save secure-random@1.x
var secureRandom = require('secure-random')

var bytes = secureRandom.randomBuffer(32)
var key1 = new CoinKey(bytes)
console.log(key1.compressed) // => true
```
