# How It Works
32 byte hexidecimal strings are generated randomly using the `os.urandom()` function and are used as our private keys.
32 byte hexidecimal strings are generated randomly using `os.urandom()` and are used as our private keys.
The private keys are converted into their respective public keys using the `fastecdsa` python library. This is the fastest library to perform secp256k1 signing. If you run this on Windows then `fastecdsa` is not supported, so instead we use `starkbank-ecdsa` library to generate public keys. The public keys are converted into their Bitcoin wallet addresses using the `binascii` and `hashlib` standard libraries.

A pre-calculated database of every funded P2PKH Bitcoin address is included in this project. The generated address is searched within the database, and if it is found that the address has a balance, then the private key, public key and wallet address are saved to the text file `plutus.txt` on the user's hard drive.
