<p>Well, I got one taker to check my approach.</p>
<p>Last night I walked through two code examples from differing
authors on generating addresses and finally got them to agree (the
variance was due to a hex string conversion at one step...)</p>
<p>This has to do with an older way of generating addresses that is
no longer done: using <i><b>uncompressed</b></i> keys.</p>
<p>Back in the days when ""Satoshi"" was active online, he was using
them...<br>

<p>I did some code today for address generation in
bitcoin; due to its results being at odds with a
popular library online, I wanted someone to check my
handiwork. If you happen to find digital currency tech
as interesting as I do, please contact me directly off
this list.</p>

<p>It's a pretty brief collection of statements for
public key generation (but using an UNCOMPRESSED
public key -normally compressed public keys are used
in bitcoin to generate addresses, and that might
explain the discrepancy...) It follows a methodology
laid out in an introductory article on generating
addresses. The code is brief, but the theory can be a
challenge.<br>
</p>
<p>No, this is not directly BSD related; but seeing as
how this user group is the deeper end of the technical
pool, perhaps someone else would find it interesting
too (we can IMMEDIATELY reconnoiter off this list...)</p>
<p>Sorry for the Email if you're not into it, but that's
all I'll say on this channel. [If the date was close
to the next meeting, I would just ask there; but time
is tight for me, and we're still a couple of weeks
away from that...]</p>

<div dir="auto">I might be of no help. But currently working at
work how to hide encrypted data. Use only one public encrypted
API key. Not only that it's not web application. But looks
like it is a loopy mess with the current technology.</div>
