bitcoin in tiny pieces

These are Python scripts made from scracth to play with Bitcoin addresses: public, private, WIF...

The scripts are compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.

before start

Install base58 for Python (tested with base58-1.0.0):

$ pip install base58

notes of usage

The scripts contain useful comments and links to documentation. Also contain configuration variables that can be preset:

Each script can be configured with at least the variable VERBOSE which can be True or False: if you want to concatenate scripts in command-line with |, you need to set VERBOSE = False.

bitcoin-address-from-public-key.py contains the variable COMPRESS_PUBKEY that accepts the values 0 to 3 in order to print uncompressed, compressed, hybrid, or all of the valid formats of a public bitcoin address.

bitcoin-wif-from-private-key.py contains the variable COMPRESS_PUBKEY that accepts the values 0 to 2 in order to print uncompressed, compressed, or both formats of WIF.

notes for Windows users

The folder batchs for Windows contains .bat files for ease of usage with Windows:

be sure you have Python in your %PATH%, or prepend the Python path to python inside each .bat
modify inside each .bat the complete path to the folder where you've copied all these Python scripts

Now usage in Windows is as easy as with Linux:

  C:\> echo 0x01 | bitcoin-public-from-private | bitcoin-address-from-public-key
      1EHNa6Q4Jz2uvNExL497mE43ikXhwF6kZm
      1BgGZ9tcN4rm9KBzDn7KprQz87SZ26SAMH
      1BFvJKK757eGXdNHkXkgem4fWZU28d1cnk

Please, see notes of usage above for configuring outputs and using with | concatenation.

Hello,

I want to convert script pub key into bitcoin address.

I'm using script pub key from this transaction (tx hash) on blockchair.com: a070eda356c87a7af9bff22eab3b3c38460605eb00938c84a86a1d6d3c608078

It has next script pub key: fb2737b020d6c0555513092f7f004976c4c18c53
According to blockchair.com corresponding address is: 76a914fb2737b020d6c0555513092f7f004976c4c18c5388ac

But when I'm using bitcoin-in-tiny-pieces I have different addresses based on script pub key:

Uncompressed public key:
key_hash = 891b647d941b887ad4061cd22651d4b52682b5c8
checksum = 591f2031292a0e4144cf6c7659d87c158661b19396c890c2602ba87de71a3c7c
key_hash + checksum = 00891b647d941b887ad4061cd22651d4b52682b5c8 591f2031
bitcoin address = 1DVxPYn7t1J1U1MoLM8gCXZ17jCdPGe5je

Compressed public key:
key_hash = c02f664efb9341695f584eaa886ae27e59070c19
checksum = 7544f96a8b280ddc0301213c793831af4c6dd6994d982f3994a845dece56f0d9
key_hash + checksum = 00c02f664efb9341695f584eaa886ae27e59070c19 7544f96a
bitcoin address = 1JXBXDYofUjwV1CWLDMcY8jrJt4n3q8xaV

Hybrid public key:
key_hash = d6095f3e929ce503d6d47cb066d78b2b187e27a5
checksum = d8030cd715ccdbe308b45bbc64460aa0099dec113d96986383c1be12459d7e5e
key_hash + checksum = 00d6095f3e929ce503d6d47cb066d78b2b187e27a5 d8030cd7
bitcoin address = 1LWiqEX1PoyXHc7XMWeE2wyfMsYY8rYhHG

Non of them correspond to the address from blockchair.com. Can you please advice what am I doing wrong and why addresses from bitcoin-in-tiny-pieces are different from blockchair.com?
