Types

type Address

type Address interface {
	// String returns the string encoding of the transaction output
	// destination.
	//
	// Please note that String differs subtly from EncodeAddress: String
	// will return the value as a string without any conversion, while
	// EncodeAddress may convert destination types (for example,
	// converting pubkeys to P2PKH addresses) before encoding as a
	// payment address string.
	String() string

	// EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of the payment address
	// associated with the Address value.  See the comment on String
	// for how this method differs from String.
	EncodeAddress() string

	// ScriptAddress returns the raw bytes of the address to be used
	// when inserting the address into a txout's script.
	ScriptAddress() []byte

	// Hash160 returns the Hash160(data) where data is the data normally
	// hashed to 160 bits from the respective address type.
	Hash160() *[ripemd160.Size]byte
}

Address is an interface type for any type of destination a transaction output may spend to. This includes pay-to-pubkey (P2PK), pay-to-pubkey-hash (P2PKH), and pay-to-script-hash (P2SH). Address is designed to be generic enough that other kinds of addresses may be added in the future without changing the decoding and encoding API.

type AddressPubKeyHash

type AddressPubKeyHash struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

AddressPubKeyHash is an Address for a pay-to-pubkey-hash (P2PKH) transaction.

func NewAddressPubKeyHash

func NewAddressPubKeyHash(pkHash []byte,
	pubKeyHashAddrId [2]byte) (*AddressPubKeyHash, error)

NewAddressPubKeyHash returns a new AddressPubKeyHash. pkHash must be 20 bytes.

func (*AddressPubKeyHash) EncodeAddress

func (a *AddressPubKeyHash) EncodeAddress() string

EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of a pay-to-pubkey-hash address. Part of the Address interface.

func (*AddressPubKeyHash) Hash160

func (a *AddressPubKeyHash) Hash160() *[ripemd160.Size]byte

Hash160 returns the underlying array of the pubkey hash. This can be useful when an array is more appropiate than a slice (for example, when used as map keys).

func (*AddressPubKeyHash) ScriptAddress

func (a *AddressPubKeyHash) ScriptAddress() []byte

ScriptAddress returns the bytes to be included in a txout script to pay to a pubkey hash. Part of the Address interface.

func (*AddressPubKeyHash) String

func (a *AddressPubKeyHash) String() string

String returns a human-readable string for the pay-to-pubkey-hash address. This is equivalent to calling EncodeAddress, but is provided so the type can be used as a fmt.Stringer.
