What's the easiest way to generate FTC and CHN/CNC addresses without downloading/compiling each client?
Dig thru liteaddress.org source and find how the scrypt addresses are generated -- then --
Dig thru litecoin-qt source and find where the addresses generation source is stored -- then --
The other clients are exact copies of litecoin, so just find the same exact section of code in those clients..
too bad it's not as easy as bitcoin:
echo -n "random data" |sha256sum
I did actually compare the liteaddress source with the bitaddress source.
I did actually scan through the differences between the litecoin-qt source and feathercoin source.
Unfortunately, while I have a general idea of how the addresses could be generated, I have no way of testing it.
All of the altcoin
private keys can be generated using sha256. The problem is generating the correct public address from that private address.
