Hi,

I can't find where in the bitcoin core code is the public key -> address conversion code.
My C++ being very rusty it might be just in front of me.

If any of you know, I'm all ears Smiley

Thanks.

PS : I know how it is done, but I'd like to see the actual cpp code

The addresses are encoded here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/da9a2f5cd9032ee22acc5c2dc175e6934f63132c/src/key_io.cpp#L19. The specific functions that do the encoding are https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/ad823178e85aa070e5ec62799c17c36210b0dd7a/src/base58.cpp#L133 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1d4662f5dcf64bd8cbab7386616461b570e93e67/src/bech32.cpp#L146
