CryptoDrain is a Python program that allows for quick and secure sweeping of crypto wallets using just the seed phrase, with no need for derivation paths, built with Python 3.11 and the python-bitcoinlib library, and released under the GPLv3 license.

How It Works

This code creates a simple web server with the aim of sweeping Bitcoin funds from a provided wallet. When a request is made to the server's API, it first checks for a valid API key. If the key is correct, the code gets a Bitcoin seed phrase, a destination address, and a reported balance from the web request. It then creates a temporary wallet from the seed phrase. If the wallet creation is successful, the code attempts to transfer all the Bitcoin from that wallet to the provided destination address. Throughout this process, the code sends notifications to a Telegram channel (if configured) to report on the success or failure of each step.

Usage

1. Install Dependencies: After cloning the repository, you need to install the required dependencies. Navigate to the CryptoDrain directory and run:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   This command will install all the necessary Python libraries, including python-bitcoinlib and Flask.
2. Configure the Application: Before running the program, configure some stuff in the config.json
3. Launch CryptoDrain: Open your Python environment and navigate to the CryptoDrain directory. Run the program by executing:

   python api.py
   

   This will start the Flask server and make CryptoDrain operational.
4. Interact with the API: To initiate a wallet sweep, make an API request to the running Flask server. Include the seed phrase of the wallet you wish to sweep and the receiver address as parameters in your request. The API endpoint will typically be:

   http://[server-ip]/api?api-key=[your-api-key]&seedphrase=[your-seed-phrase]&receiver=[receiver-address]
   

5. Monitor the Process: Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions provided by CryptoDrain. The application will display real-time updates about the wallet scanning and sweeping process.
6. Completion: Once the sweeping process is complete, the funds from the wallet will be successfully transferred to the specified receiver address. You will receive a confirmation message indicating the successful completion of the process. With these steps, you can effectively use CryptoDrain to sweep Bitcoin wallets using only the seed phrase, offering a streamlined and efficient approach to managing your crypto assets.

CryptoDrain Development Roadmap

Short-Term Goals (Q2 2024)

2. Multi-Currency Support: Expand the functionality to support additional cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and others.
3. API Rate Limiting: Introduce rate limiting to the API to prevent abuse and ensure stable and reliable service for all users.
4. Logging and Monitoring: Develop a logging system to record API usage and errors, aiding in troubleshooting and improving user experience.
5. Dockerization: Package CryptoDrain in a Docker container for easier deployment and scalability.

Mid-Term Goals (Q4 2025)

1. Automated Testing Suite: Create a suite of automated tests to ensure code quality, functionality, and facilitate easier updates and maintenance.
2. Blockchain Analytics: Incorporate analytics features to provide users with insights into transaction histories, wallet balances, and network fees.
3. Web Interface: Develop a user-friendly web interface, allowing less technically-savvy users to interact with CryptoDrain without needing to use the command line or API directly.
4. Smart Contract Integration: For supported blockchains like Ethereum, integrate functionality to interact with smart contracts.
5. Internationalization: Prepare the software for a global audience by adding multi-language support.
