Generate a bitcoin address and private key

[jesus40]

hello,

I need your help. I dont found a Bitcoin address generator written in autoit, and i really can not write it. I am a beginner, but i learning continously.

I found a graphical generator, looks nice, but i think is impossible to do it

http://www.royalforkblog.com/2014/08/11/graphical-address-generator

I found the code on many languages, C, python, etc, but i dont understand, i really dont know how to....

Can anybody make me a script what generate a BTC address & its private key?

I found these codes, maybe can help:

python:

https://github.com/weex/addrgen

c:

https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

visual c source:

https://casascius.com/btcaddress-alpha.zip

 

I would be happy if somebody can help me and make it in autoit.

 

thanks everything

So let me try to get this clear: you want us to reinvent the wheel for you?
Sweet.

I just ask for help... Maybe it is a very easy task for somebody, or maybe somebody have a finished script. If you dont want or can not help, You can skip this topic.

thanks

Did you have a look at the C code you posted the link to?
Do you think it is a simple task to translate to AutoIt?
Another question: Why does it have to be written in AutoIt? You have already found code in other languages.

[jesus40]

noo, i dont think that it is an easy task.. For me looks like a nightmare.   But found two short python code, so ithink there is a shorter/easier way to do it.

I need it in autoit, because i can use only this language. And i want to mod/upgrade it. But i can not do that on another language.

My second idea is implement or convert python to autoit. But maybe it is a bad idea.

Well, When you say you are only able to do it in AutoIt3 then I am sure you have started the coding and have something to show ...right?

​well, if you can do

ssl = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary (ctypes.util.find_library ('ssl') or 'libeay32')

in AutoIt, I'd like to see that.

[jesus40]

i think i can do it with the help of wikipedia article. But i am not sure I try it without any code of other language.

point 0 is ok, that is random. But point 1.... I dont understand exactly how to do it............ Any idea?

 

How to create Bitcoin Address

0 - Having a private ECDSA key

   18E14A7B6A307F426A94F8114701E7C8E774E7F9A47E2C2035DB29A206321725

1 - Take the corresponding public key generated with it (65 bytes, 1 byte 0x04, 32 bytes corresponding to X coordinate, 32 bytes corresponding to Y coordinate)

   0450863AD64A87AE8A2FE83C1AF1A8403CB53F53E486D8511DAD8A04887E5B23522CD470243453A299FA9E77237716103ABC11A1DF38855ED6F2EE187E9C582BA6

2 - Perform SHA-256 hashing on the public key

   600FFE422B4E00731A59557A5CCA46CC183944191006324A447BDB2D98D4B408

3 - Perform RIPEMD-160 hashing on the result of SHA-256

   010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEE

4 - Add version byte in front of RIPEMD-160 hash (0x00 for Main Network)

   00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEE

(note that below steps are the Base58Check encoding, which has multiple library options available implementing it)
5 - Perform SHA-256 hash on the extended RIPEMD-160 result

   445C7A8007A93D8733188288BB320A8FE2DEBD2AE1B47F0F50BC10BAE845C094

6 - Perform SHA-256 hash on the result of the previous SHA-256 hash

   D61967F63C7DD183914A4AE452C9F6AD5D462CE3D277798075B107615C1A8A30

7 - Take the first 4 bytes of the second SHA-256 hash. This is the address checksum

   D61967F6

8 - Add the 4 checksum bytes from stage 7 at the end of extended RIPEMD-160 hash from stage 4. This is the 25-byte binary Bitcoin Address.

   00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6

9 - Convert the result from a byte string into a base58 string using Base58Check encoding. This is the most commonly used Bitcoin Address format

​Is there an AutoIt3 question in there or are you simply having no idea what it is that needs to be done at all?

I can make every point in autoit, but simply have no idea what is point two. So i dont know what is that, and how to do it with autoit.

jesus40,

Then I suggest that you find out what you want to do and come back with an AutoIt related question once you do know. Thread locked.
