# EthereumBip44 for ruby

A ruby library to generate Ethereum addresses from a hierarchical deterministic wallet according to the [BIP44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki) standard.

Internally it uses [btcruby](https://github.com/oleganza/btcruby) for the deterministic private and public keys which allows to use many additional features like deriving Ethereum address from mnemonic backups (BIP32).

This library is inspired by the js library [coinme/ethereum-bip44](https://github.com/coinme/ethereum-bip44), I followed its design.
