Bitcoin Address Generator with GUI & API

This project is a full-stack Bitcoin address generator built using Python. It allows users to generate Bitcoin-style addresses using elliptic curve cryptography, store their keys securely, and retrieve them via a graphical interface or API.

---

Features

• Generates Bitcoin-style addresses using ECC (secp256r1)
• Compresses public keys with Base58Check encoding
• GUI built with Tkinter (desktop interface)
• FastAPI backend for secure key storage and retrieval
• SQLite database integration
• Copy keys to clipboard with one click
• Password-protected key access

Technologies Used

• Python 3.x
• Tkinter (GUI)
• FastAPI (REST API)
• SQLite (Database)
• PIL / Pillow (image processing)
• tinyec (Elliptic Curve Cryptography)
• base58 (Base58Check encoding)
• hashlib, secrets, binascii

How to Run

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/bitcoin-address-generator.git
   cd bitcoin-address-generator

2. Install Required Packages

   pip install fastapi uvicorn pillow base58 tinyec

3. Start the FastAPI Backend

   uvicorn main:app --reload

   Then visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs to test API endpoints.

4. Run the GUI (in a new terminal window)

   python GUI.py

API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
POST	/store_keys/	Store new user's keys
POST	/verify_user/	Verify user credentials
GET	/get_keys/{username}	Check if user already exists

Security Notes

• ECC curve used is secp256r1 for demo purposes, not the Bitcoin standard secp256k1
• Passwords are stored in plain text for simplicity — not recommended for production
• HTTPS is not configured — use reverse proxy or HTTPS for production
