Obtaining the Private Key

The hex encoded private key for a Stacks address is required by any script that sends a transaction.

The private key can be obtained through stacks-gen.

Using npx is the simplest method:

⚠️ Random key used below for example purposes, do not use this key for anything.

npx -q stacks-gen sk -p "mouse lava square pink fuel morning adapt ozone primary tent exercise trip title spice stand must spider monster erupt field brain source strike lawn"

Output:

{
  "phrase": "mouse lava square pink fuel morning adapt ozone primary tent exercise trip title spice stand must spider monster erupt field brain source strike lawn",
  "private": "63933c159a24820a8bd185be36fd38452d151a32c63d1d22dfcf0ae4b1a1aa6b01",
  "public": "032021077d7cd149eb3eafb5df395461d422015f75b71b1178aaf20a0b5e802cb5",

The value for private is needed for the scripts to be able to send the transaction:

e.g. 63933c159a24820a8bd185be36fd38452d151a32c63d1d22dfcf0ae4b1a1aa6b01

🚨 Seriously, do not use this key for anything. This private key is the same as your seed phrase and should never be shared with anyone.
