Bitcoin Address Utility I made (Visual C#, Source Only)

[dextronomous]

when doing generate, can one choose comp. or uncomp.
currently it is uncompressed. so hope to have an updatet version

This is just a code snippet here, I don't think OP maintains it. I wouldn't expect an update.
You should try using active projects that can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/search?q=bitcoin+language%3Ac%23).

Feel free to take a look at my project Bitcoin.Net, it is in beta.
Examples of creating some addresses:

Code:

var addrBuilder = new Address();

string p2pkh = addrBuilder.GetP2pkh(pubKey, useCompressed: false, netType: NetworkType.TestNet);
string p2sh = addrBuilder.GetP2sh(script);
string nestedSegWit = addrBuilder.GetP2sh_P2wpkh(pubkey, witVer: 0, netType: NetworkType.MainNet);

YES thank you,

but is cascasius present at forum, or reading this, i would love to have his app, with options like comp or uncomp. so it would suit some of us better.
thanks

ok, ty

the thing is when manually added the address with balance. it shows 0 btc,
the same when generating,
when the app gonna scan the balance? do you need internet doh? but always show 0?
is there some secret setting that turned this stuff off, to be turned on soon>? or never.

Possibly because blockexplorer.com no longer works.

well i guess the question remains, could you make the change in there, so we could use it with blockchain. or btc

thanks again

I have made several attempts at compiling and rebuilding this bitcoin address utility too many times with the same errors every time. The BTC address conversions are not happening as supposed to and am not sure if I am correctly compiling the program or not.
Could someone please reach out and offer some assistance on exactly what is the proper method to compile the project and all the required steps?

Please and Thanks!

Hi there mr Casascius,

is it possible, if you have some spare time, to give this program an update,.
right now it shows 0 balance for everything, manually added addresses, generated ones,
and always show firstly uncompressed addresses, and generates the uncompressed ones first,

this is probably something you already know, during these times, corona thing, have some spare time,
so my question would be actually to give it this upgrade, new version number, and compressed ones first,
and or option to it, and a working explorer, json is unlimited access to blockchain api, so if you could do this,

so when added an address with balance it hasn't scanned it for balance or it shows 0.00 always,

this would be really great, thanks in advance sir,.
or to let it generate addresses from a certain range, bits, thanks anyway.

seems i got the compressed out of my way, i got that part, still not seeing balance if manually added or any generated key?
awaiting your responses sir..

Maybe you didn't add the BouncyCastle assembly to the Visual Studio project's property sheet?

This is a Windows.Forms program, I vaguely remember tinkering with that framework and some other assemblies to make screensavers several months ago so it would be easier on you if I published a VS .sln of Mike Caldwell's tool on Github, right?
