generate_private_key

Generates a random Bitcoin private key (placeholder implementation).

Creates a private key using a deterministic value for testing purposes. In production, this should use a cryptographically secure random number generator.

Arguments

  • network - The Bitcoin network for the private key
  • compressed - Whether the corresponding public key should use compressed format

Returns

  • BitcoinPrivateKey - Generated private key structure

Security Note

This implementation is NOT cryptographically secure and should only be used for testing. Production implementations must use proper random number generation.
