📎 RELEASE NOTES – base64_decoder.py

Version: 2.0.0
Release Date: 2025-06-17

🚀 Overview

base64_decoder is a compact CLI tool that decodes Base64-encoded Bitcoin private keys and derives all related key material and addresses.

It enables fast offline transformation of raw Base64 input into WIF formats, Bitcoin addresses, and public/private key HEX representations — suitable for cryptographic testing, tool development, and educational use.

🔧 Core Features

• 🔓 Decodes Base64-encoded private keys
• 🔑 Outputs WIF formats (compressed & uncompressed)
• 🏷️ Generates Bitcoin addresses (compressed & uncompressed)
• 🔍 Displays public and private keys in HEX
• 🎨 Colored CLI output with termcolor
• 🖥️ Optional command-line argument or interactive prompt
• 🔒 Fully offline usage — no internet dependency

✅ Included in v2.0.0

• ✅ base64_decoder.py – CLI decoding and key conversion tool
• ✅ base64_decoder.bat – Windows launcher for one-click execution
• ✅ WIF encoding and Bitcoin address derivation
• ✅ Interactive fallback if --base64 argument is missing
• ✅ SHA-256 and RIPEMD160 hash logic
• ✅ Robust Base64 decoding with error handling
• ✅ Clean terminal display using clear() and termcolor

⚠️ Notes

• Accepts only valid Base64-encoded 32-byte private keys
• Uncompressed and compressed formats are both generated
• WIF outputs use Bitcoin mainnet prefix
• Use in air-gapped or isolated environments is recommended
• No actual blockchain interaction or validation is performed
