Tool to convert btc pubkeys into btsx pubkeys

here we go .. I just updated the "pytshares" repo on github .. now there are two different scripts:

Thank you a lot! Testing.

Seems working in both scripts(modified bitcoin_utils.py and new convertbtcpubkey.py . Just needed to import compressed public key.

xeroc,

I'm struggling too understand how to use this code for several hour by now. Can you explain a little bit, please.

I have the BTC address and I want to convert in BTS format. What argument to btsxaddr.py should I give?
It won't take BTC address. But it take hash160 but results not identical if I give the private key for the same address.

Oh .. I should write some more lines about that ...
the genbts.py script int "pytshares" is just createing a private key and the bts addresses ..

if you only have the public key and want that one converted to bts address you need to use my modified "pycoin" repo and install that one .. than you can use the bitcoin_utils.py (or "bu") tool that is installed .. that one takes the pubkey and converts it to the pubkey and address ..
I will try to write a separated file to do that .. give me 30 minutes or so .

Brainwallets can be uses in the original client too... check this out:

   help wallet_create

Holy moly! It is so easy!

[xeroc]

Thank you! It's awesome! Now we could do brain wallets!

Can I create a BTS address through oclvanitygen, then import it and register the key to a Titan name? If so what would the -X flag variable be?

Not without major code modifications ..

[xeroc]

What is the implication of this?

It sounds similar to sharedropping but rather than coins / shares it is addresses.

Does this imply you could send BTS to a bitcoin account, or a bitcoin account could send BTC to to a BTS wallet?

It does, but think in terms of bitBTC instead of BTS

you cannot do crosschain transactions .. but you can reuse the.private key ..

If you want to send 2bitUSD to someone only having a btc pubkey (address) you can convert the pubkey to a bts pubkey or address and send BTS there .. the other guy can redeem the bts by importing the btc privkey into bts

[xeroc]

Multiple keys per account .. yes

[monsterer]

Never worked wih addresses... but you can take a random key .. import into the wallet and  heck with wallet_account_list_public_keys .. it shows the pubkey and adresses

Using wallet_import_private_key?

edit: does this overwrite the private key of the account?.... I guess it can't actually. So there are multiple private keys for each account?

[monsterer]

Can I get a confirmation on this pseudo code for going from bitcoin pub key to BTS address?

Code: [Select]

addr = ripemd160(sha512(bitcoinPubKeyBinary))
check = ripemd160(addr)
finalBinary = addr + first_four_bytes(check)
finalBase58 = 'BTS' + base58(finalBinary)


[xeroc]

You just have to add those lines in the patch above that start with a + sign .. at the acording place .. or anywhere pretty below in the main procedure ..

Plus you need to define the prefix somewhere ... if you cant manage drop me a line and i can post a patches file .. i am mobile atm

[monsterer]

I don't suppose you have the patched file to save me trying to figure out how to apply it?

fixed "BTSX" -> "BTS"

[xeroc]

I modified the "bu.py" script from pycoin to produce BTSX pubkeys given a public key from bitcoin:

pycoin: https://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin.git
particular bu.py sourcecode: https://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin/blob/master/pycoin/scripts/bitcoin_utils.py

The patch looks like this:

          else:

nothing too complicated .. but it took me some hours to figure it out
