Title: Simple Program to Reveal Bitcoin address from Private Keys Post by: blink on July 22, 2019, 01:27:00 PM I have thousands of old bitcoin private keys. Is there a program to reveal the bitcoins address on this private keys?
Or is there a simple programming code to convert the private keys to bitcoin address? Title: Re: Simple Program to Reveal Bitcoin address from Private Keys Post by: Thirdspace on July 22, 2019, 03:05:12 PM import them into bitcoin core or electrum or any other wallet of your choice
you can also use bitaddress.org, download the source and run it offline mode Title: Re: Simple Program to Reveal Bitcoin address from Private Keys Post by: dmitrygerasimov on July 22, 2019, 03:07:33 PM I have thousands of old bitcoin private keys.

You can use this script https://gist.github.com/dooglus/3b1fcbc2449063a1c3f7f1003ca26447 Good luck note that this code doesn't give you "addresses" (which is what OP is looking for), instead it gives you public keys and that only in uncompressed form which you have to first decide whether you want to use the compressed or uncompressed type then you have to hash them and do the address encoding (base58 or bech32) to get the respective addresses.

If the goal is to only get the address i think OP should take a look to this link about how to generate a bitcoin address step by step, if OP understands the theory about it he will be able to code his own script to get the addys of all those privatekeys. https://medium.com/coinmonks/how-to-generate-a-bitcoin-address-step-by-step-9d7fcbf1ad0b Title: Re: Simple Program to Reveal Bitcoin address from Private Keys Post by: ABCbits on July 22, 2019, 08:10:10 PM You can use a bash script to import multiple keys, first of all put all those keys on a text file and then you can run something like: Code: for a in $(cat keys.txt) By default, Bitcoin Core will rescan whole blockchain to find all transaction related to the imported private key. If OP insist use Bitcoin Core, i think skip scanning when import private key & perform scan after all private keys are imported is more efficient. Code: for a in $(cat keys.txt) |
