Purpose
CryptoCalc is a Cryptocurrency wallet generator provided as a standalone non custodial desktop application.
These wallets can be Non Deterministic (Simple Wallet) or Hierarchical Deterministic (BIP32).
Even though there is already similar tools online, the purpose is to provide these features
locally on your computer (non custodial) in order to reduce the risk of your Private Key / WIF
or seed phrase informations being stolen.
NB: Since its first release CryptoCalc has been downloaded 8740 times on npm (even though there is also bots involved
in downloads, it seems that there is between 100 and 150 frequent users).
Supported Cryptocurrencies: BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), XRP (Ripple), BNB (Binance Smart Chain), SOL (Solana), DOGE (Dogecoin), TRX (TRON), ADA (Cardano), XLM (Stellar), SUI (Sui), BCH (Bitcoin Cash), AVAX (Avalanche), TON (Toncoin), LTC (Litecoin), ETC (Ethereum Classic), POL (Polygon), VET (VeChain), BSV (Bitcoin SV), DASH (Dash), RVN (Ravencoin), ZEN (Horizen), LUNA (Terra) and FIRO (Firo)
BNB support is on Binance Smart Chain (in this blockchain BNB is a BEP-20 token, see reference 5.3.4)LUNA 2.O (on Terra blockchain) not LUNA ClassicSUI support was validated with 'Suiet' (Sui wallet), a Chrome extensionSupported Languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Deutsch, Russian, Esperanto, Latin, Greek, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali.
NB: CryptoCalc uses ElectronJS as well as many modern and popular Desktop applications (e.g. Visual Studio Code)

You can launch CryptoCalc either by first installing it with the CryptoCalc Standalone installer (see 2.1)
or by downloading the npm package (see 2.2) then double clicking on _run.bat.

Derivation Pathis nowHardenedby default and mandatory (since0.3.18). This is for Security purpose (see 5.2.3) TheBIP32HD wallet tree_ is fully determined by the Entropy (or seed phrase which is equivalent) and an optional Password. The Entropy may be represented by a more human friendly representation: the Mnemonics Sequence which may also be called a seed phrase, Mnemonics or even SRP (Secret Recovery Passphrase).
How to Generate a new wallet with a given Entropy:
Paste a new Entropy (or seed phrase) in theEntropywallet tab. Notice that this will hide the Entropy Source and Salt fields (meaningless in this situation).
You can then change either the Account or Address Index fields (the maximum number of digits is 9 so you can input a decimal value between 0 and 999999999 for each field) in the Wallet tab page. This will show a [Refresh] button to recompute the wallet once you have finished. Pushing the [Refresh] button (or hitting either [Return] or [Enter] keys while the cursor is in either Account or Address Index field) will recompute the wallet address (and Private key or WIF) accordingly.
SWORD is an acronym which means Simple Wallet Over Randomized Deterministic,
it's an hybrid between Simple Wallet and HD Wallet because it hides the Derivation Path logic
(which contains Account and Address Index), thus you don't need to care or understand the principles
of Hierarchical Deterministic wallets, but it allows to generate all the cryptocurrencies provided by HD Wallet.Cardano HD wallets, the Account and Address Index parameters are not taken
into account by the Wallet Managers which I have tested (namely Guarda and Yoroi) because they ask for
the Mnemonics (Seed phrase in CryptoCalc). This is why in CryptoCalc, these parameters are hard-coded
to Zero (for Cardano HD wallets only).Help menu (Help/Resources/Ian Coleman BIP39)Refresh icon, like in the main toolbar).
