Title: Bech32 for Onion address V3 Post by: andrew1carlssin on March 25, 2018, 03:34:56 PM Hi,
I have used a vanity generator called mkp224o - This tool generates vanity ed25519 (hidden service version 3) onion addresses. For context, see https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/plain/rend-spec-v3.txt https://github.com/cathugger/mkp224o Then I used nullius tool to convert it to bech32 address ( bech32 -e )... the output was something like lets say ... onion1xdnsv70edyuqrj666hlhtry2t93eq8lt565zqw2yug6sat9a5aj40mgrrtdfaz My question is.. it a valid bitcoin address ?

Valid bech32 bitcoin addresses are prefixed by bc (tb for testnet), and contains a witness program (which I'm sure the Tor rendezvous is not compatible with at all). Title: Re: Bech32 for Onion address V3 Post by: buwaytress on March 25, 2018, 03:47:28 PM My simple answer: no. As far as I understand, the tool from nullius is for encoding/decoding - NOT for generating... so your output looks valid. It should be a bech32 encoded address (which if decoded should return to you the original address - but that is not a valid bitcoin public address.
