Add a keystore
I'm opening this issue mostly to keep notes.
As it took me a while to figure this out, the cryptographic code of Substrate that creates //Alice is found mostly here:
- https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/9455912f309afef4e01d23bb114ec66fb0c567bb/primitives/core/src/sr25519.rs
- https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/b4cdef239d1de7a9b93b906b6c860f6246b0d887/primitives/core/src/crypto.rs
The derive function takes as parameter the path (e.g. Alice) and a seed. The seed is hardcoded for the publicly-known keys such as //Alice.
The sr25519 secret key of //Alice as obtained by calling schnorrkel::SecretKey::to_bytes() is:
[51, 166, 243, 9, 63, 21, 138, 113, 9, 246, 121, 65, 11, 239, 26, 12, 84, 22, 129, 69, 224, 206, 203, 77, 240, 6, 193, 194, 255, 251, 31, 9, 146, 90, 34, 93, 151, 170, 0, 104, 45, 106, 89, 185, 91, 24, 120, 12, 16, 215, 3, 35, 54, 232, 143, 52, 66, 180, 35, 97, 244, 166, 96, 17]
The ed25519 private key of //Alice is:
[136, 220, 52, 23, 213, 5, 142, 196, 180, 80, 62, 12, 18, 234, 26, 10, 137, 190, 32, 15, 233, 137, 34, 66, 61, 67, 52, 1, 79, 166, 176, 238]
