=== Implementing Keys and Addresses in Cpass:[++]
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at the complete process of creating a Bitcoin address, from a
|
||||
private key, to a public key (a point on the elliptic curve), to a
|
||||
double-hashed address, and finally, the Base58Check encoding. The C++
|
||||
code in <<addr_example>> shows the complete step-by-step process, from
|
||||
private key to Base58Check-encoded Bitcoin address. The code example
|
||||
uses the libbitcoin library introduced in <<alt_libraries>> for some
|
||||
helper functions.

====
|

|

The code uses a predefined private key to produce the same Bitcoin
|
||||
address every time it is run, as shown in <<addr_example_run>>.((("",

[TIP]
|
||||
====
|
||||
The code in <<addr_example_run>> produces a Bitcoin address (+1PRTT...+)
|
||||
from a _compressed_ public key (see <<comp_pub>>). If you used the
|
||||
uncompressed public key instead, it would produce a different Bitcoin
|
||||
address (+14K1y...+).
