@lightproject, It's actually rather short and to the point:
""" Derive private key from the brain key and the current sequence
number
"""
a = py23_bytes(self.account + self.role + self.password, 'utf8')
s = hashlib.sha256(a).digest()
return PrivateKey(hexlify(s).decode('ascii'), prefix=self.prefix)
specifically, that's get_private from the method other than that it just sets the public function
Unless you meant you wanted me to step through that too :)
So If I understand correctly, password = brainkey? Thanks in advance!
yes sir, you got it right :)
I tried to clear that up, maybe i should have worded it better, steemit used to give passwords that started with "P" and were basically a key, but that is generated from
suggest_brain_key
i guess they didn't think people would understand an actual brain key, which most modern generators use now. (such as hiveinvite, which started this whole conversation)
