Command line utility to decrypt a BIP38 (encrypted) private key.

Get this module from npm to have the bip38d command installed.

npm i -g bip38-decrypt

Create a password file containing the password for your private key.

echo "password" > .password
history -c
clear

Run the bip38 command passing the encrypted private key as first argument and the password file as the second:

bip38d 6PYPrivateKey .password

This example should work successfully, it's the same used in the jest test, this private key is empty and is encrypted with the password "password".

echo "password" > .password
bip38d 6PYWpYms78Q3vJPVHvsHFCF1AKtd1PayV9qSeVGV47FtyXWHRJMreWsXYL .password

./get_public_address.py $(node bip38-decrypt.js 6PYWpYms78Q3vJPVHvsHFCF1AKtd1PayV9qSeVGV47FtyXWHRJMreWsXYL .password )

This will run the jest test

npm test
