Functions

func ChecksumCheck

func ChecksumCheck(base58Str string) (valid bool)

ChecksumCheck checks if a Base58Check string is valid.

func Decode

func Decode(base58Str string) (version, payload string)

Decode a Base58Check string to a version byte and payload.

func Encode

func Encode(version, payload string) (base58Str string, err error)

Encode a version byte and payload to creates a Base58Check string.

func GenPrivateKey

func GenPrivateKey() (privateKey string)

GenPrivateKey generates a hex encoded private key.

func IsPrivateKeyValid

func IsPrivateKeyValid(privateKey string) (valid bool)

IsPrivateKeyValid checks if a given string is a valid private key.

func Private2Address

func Private2Address(privateKey string, compressed, mainnet bool) (address string, err error)

Private2Address returns the address associated with a private key.

func Private2Public

func Private2Public(privateKey string, compressed bool) (publicKey string, err error)

Private2Public returns the public key associated with a private key (hex string).

func Private2WIF

func Private2WIF(privateKey string, compressed, mainnet bool) (wif string, err error)

Private2WIF returns the Wallet Import Format (WIF) associated with a private key (hex string).

func Public2Address

func Public2Address(publicKey string, mainnet bool) (address string, err error)

Public2Address returns the address associated with a public key.

func WIF2Private

func WIF2Private(wif string, compressed bool) (privateKey string)

WIF2Private returns the private key associated with a Wallet Import Format (WIF).
