Getting started Install the dependencies $ npm i and fill in the .env variables $ cp .env.example .env . The test suite can be run with $ npm run test . Purpose The purpose of this tool is to allow you to transfer out some or all of your crypto to a particular address in the event that you lose your keys. This works by creating a signed but not broadcasted transaction that sends out the funds if certain time criteria are met. The advantage of this approach is as follows: - You can recover your funds in the event that you lose access to your keys - The transactions can be invalidated at anytime by the signer - You can create as many of these transactions as you like with different parameters - The transactions are free to create and you will only pay transaction fees if you use them - The data is not particularly sensitive and can therefore be saved online The owner of the funds has the ability to revoke these backups at anytime and in some cases even modify the criteria for the transactions. If the owner loses access to their keys, these backups can still be used to receive the funds when the criteria has been met. Your recipient could be an individual, organisation or even your exchange address. Exchange deposit addresses are good candidates because t","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/JamesANZ","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/JamesANZ/crypto-timelocked-backup/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
