Please how can i run this, i seem to be having problem using it @rikonor

@Oluwatobilobaoke What kind of problems are you having? Do you have Go installed?

@rikonor i have go installed when i ran the code it says a package is deprecated

@Oluwatobilobaoke What's maintest.go? You should really just need to copy main.go from this gist.

how would I now use the main.go file... I copied your test file to just test it

Hmm try this - create a new directory and put main.go in it. Then run:

$ go mod init tmp
$ go mod tidy
$ go run main.go

see no result

Ok, you're very close! Do you have a a key-store JSON file? Assuming you do, run the following:

$ go build
$ cat key-store.json | ./tmp --password "<PASSWORD>"

thank you it worked..

but i got a lot of ffff in the key what do you think could be wrong?
0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.....364141

@Oluwatobilobaoke I honestly have not touched this stuff in ages, so it's hard for me to say. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to join the CryptoDevs Discord - you are very likely to get better help there.

thank you it worked..

but i got a lot of ffff in the key what do you think could be wrong? 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.....364141

what is the steps u followed to run it, please share them

@peacecodes12 it's highlighted above
