Title: Problem when I try to create an address from zero Post by: BlackHatCoiner on September 28, 2020, 11:36:42 AM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses
^In this link it shows us the procedure to create a bitcoin address (version 1) I take the public key (0250863ad64a87ae8a2fe83c1af1a8403cb53f53e486d8511dad8a04887e5b2352) and I hash it with SHA256: https://i.imgur.com/tyPaE8M.png Then it says that I have to take the result of SHA256 (0b7c28c9b7290c98d7438e70b3d3f7c848fbd7d1dc194ff83f4f7cc9b1378e98) and perform RIPEMD-160 to it. While the site says that the result should be that: Code: f54a5851e9372b87810a8e60cdd2e7cfd80b6e31 I get that: Code: 6836d8a2986c8c34881114fe0412a1d416ae02a8 https://i.imgur.com/a3fGQaG.png What do I do wrong? All the "ripemd160 hash online" sites print me the same result.

As pooya87 says, the output of the SHA256 needs to be inputted in to the RIPEMD160 function as hexadecimal bytes, and not as a plain text string. If you take the result of your SHA256 hash: Code: 0B7C28C9B7290C98D7438E70B3D3F7C848FBD7D1DC194FF83F4F7CC9B1378E98 Code: F54A5851E9372B87810A8E60CDD2E7CFD80B6E31 Title: Re: Problem when I try to create an address from zero Post by: BlackHatCoiner on September 28, 2020, 12:37:58 PM Thank you, it works properly.
Are there any libraries that allow me to convert hex to ripemd160 with javascript? I'm trying to build something.
