convert bitcoin address to ethereum address

[pooya87]

But how they actually generate an ethereum address with your Bitcoin address?
Do you think the generated ETH address is only controlled by you? Or possible they generated an ETH address which is controlled by the owner of this website.

it is possible because ethereum is also a copy of bitcoin so most things that matter are exactly the same as bitcoin. and the site is using private keys (not even public keys) so they have the chance to build it from the base up (private key > public key > hash > address)
the hash is the different step and is the stupidest method too, instead of using a hash algorithm that returns a 20 byte result (like RIPEMD160) it uses Keccak-256 hash of the uncompressed public key then drops 12 bytes of it! the remaining bytes are the address.

Too risky when you're going to surrender your private key.
The best way is to get a mobile app where you can use BTC and Eth in the app then transfer your BTC or ETH in that app make sure the app is legit. In my country it was named Coins.ph .
When you transfer your coin in the app you can easily convert it into BTC or Eth even Bitcoin cash

never share your private keys - that might be a fishing attack

We can simply comvert our btc to eth without doing that complicated tutorial of yours by using some exchange wallets. I understand your innovative, even if you proposed if doing it online but downloading unknown file is so risky. Don't wanna cause trouble by exposing some private keys, etc. And converting btc address to eth address is an easy by using some exchanges or even local wallets.

At the purpose once you can without much of a stretch see them both shortly of a finger, what's the way toward passing this procedure and the way would you ensure it's an exceptionally secure activity, recollect that it's your assets that you simply play,
I would prefer think I to not inspect it, it's allowed to form both a BTC and an ethical wallet, i do not got to be savvy and certain finish up thinking twice about it above, trust you comprehend what or if the outcomes occur.

kogitoken.org generated an ETHEREUM address for Satoshi Nakamoto, used bitcoin genesis block data. seems this link https://free-online-app.com/bitcoin-2-ethereum-address-converter/ cannot.

Multicurrency wallets all use the same seed words to create wallets/addresses in all kinds of cryptocurrencies, so it's not really surprising.

I wouldn't use it to send ETH to someone who gave me a BTC address though, I'd rather ask that person for an ETH address, and help them get one if needed.

the key how to get Satoshi's eth address. he won't public it. we can only convert it from the public bitcoin genesis block info. kogitoken.org team did it. now ,needs verify it.

I would not be surprised if one day I see you complain that your funds are stolen because you downloaded some file from some website. How convenient it must be for hackers that someone would actually use their work and hand their private keys.

Exactly, people are too careless and don't have in mind security. Wallets and cryptocurrency in general are so vulnerable and we have to be very careful what we install, what data we share and especialy we shouldn't give out our private keys. If you don't act like that don't be surprised if one day you lose your coins.

Exactly, the algo's are all the same; BTC uses SHA256 (NSA) to hash the public-key into an address, and ETH uses Keccak-512 (Sputnik);

All private keys to address mapping is the same, private_key*generator->public_key, Hash(public_key)->address, compress address -> final address

You can do this yourself, don't need a downloaded malware. Just use 'KU' ( python pycoin util ) and generate the public-key from a private-key. Then apply the sha or keccak hash, and them in the case of bitcoin address format compress to base-58 ( cmd line tools on linux are already there for all these steps )

Why would anybody do this? It's not the same address,

Like somebody said here, the only reason for this is to get you to enter your private-key, so their malware can send it home.


If you must do it, I have explained above how do to it,

U can't really map btc to eth, as keccak & sha are different one-way trap door functions, called 'hashing'; if you go back to the priv-key, then you can map to public-key, as essentially ETH is just a clone of BTC, and they both use the same algo to generate elliptic curve arithmetic.

Bitcoin gets hacked 100x more than ethereum historically, because "BTC was where the money is/was", in time as ETH becomes more popular, and bigger CAP, you will see the criminals move to ETH. I think essentially that is what this malware is about, its an attempt to catch morons making the move from btc to eth, and thinking they can use the same priv-key, you can but why would you want to weaken security? ETH has good wallets, and good key generation built-in, why would you want to 'import' a private-key from btc of questionable security?

thanks a lot for your detailed explain.
as we know, the Public key is leak in early transaction .so, there is possibility to extract the PK of Satoshi,  and uses Keccak-512 (Sputnik) to hash the public-key into an ETH address. am i correct? if yes, kogitoken.org team hashed right ETH address, from Satoshi Public key. if it's right, it will be genesis air drop to Satoshi. it's ETH community big news.
thanks.
