iota-generate-seed

Generates suitable IOTA seeds.

Security

A seed is like a private key or password to access your account. Keep it private and don't lose it. Maximum security is achieved by a random 81-chars seed. Longer seeds won't increase security.

Warning: Use a TrueRNG to generate secure seeds

Entropy of pseudorandom generators like crypto.randomBytes() is uncertain. Consider securing your funds or privacy by using a sufficient method rather than this script.

npm install iota-generate-seed
