✒️ Notes for Riccardo
❍ The OPSEC of running this script not very strong! It logs the private key to the console with no warning, so make sure no one is shoulder surfing your!
❍ If you look in ./lib/generate-key-pair.js you'll see line 41 is where the private key is logged to the console. Comment that out if you don't want better OPSEC!
❍ There are no tests because I've just thrown this together in five minutes.
❍ If you don't provide it a password via the --p flag, it'll use a default password of "password".
❍ See the Keythereum & Ethereum Utils github pages to see what's going on under the hood!
📋 To Do List for Me
✅ Use applicatives and partially apply the two curriable, password-requiring functions!
🔲 Write tests!
🔲 Port to typescript!
