Creating Addresses
There are many ways of creating a blockchain address. In this example, we'll use NodeJS with the Web3 lib to communicate with the blockchain.
Example
1
const Web3 = require('web3');
2
const provider = 'https://public.tst.publicmint.io:8545'; // Public Mint TestNet Blockchain
3
const opts = {
4
    defaultBlock: 'latest',
5
    transactionConfirmationBlocks: 1,
6
}
7
const web3 = new Web3(provider, null, opts);
8
(async function () {
9
   const passphrase = 'test';
10
   const account = await web3.eth.accounts.create(passphrase);  
11
   console.log('PMINT ACCOUNT address:', account.address);
12
   console.log('PMINT ACCOUNT PK:', account.privateKey);
13
})();

PMINT ACCOUNT address: 0xEa3F2eb61dD221344834eA6a3fd2128dF6641D4E
2
PMINT ACCOUNT PK: 0x0edd054f73c62fdca08b3940413df4f713a34cd5b702f88641b984499f165565
