Wrong testnet address generation [python]
Wrong testnet address generation [python]
I'm trying to generate a testnet address without success.Main net address is working fine. Here is my code. The generated testnet address from this code is :CNFNz61dzQ2NQ9RCnjJFrm2de7nLbbT9xSv which is in wrong format.
import os
import ecdsa
import hashlib
import base58
#private_key = os.urandom(32).encode("hex")
private_key =
"7c7cd1c5f24b255ae113459dccdba8df3ff2e76ca0932d02f81be27311c64e32"
print "this is my private key: " + private_key
sk = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(private_key.decode("hex"), curve =
ecdsa.SECP256k1)
vk = sk.verifying_key
public_key = ('\04'+ vk.to_string()).encode("hex")
print "this is my public key: " + public_key
ripemd160 = hashlib.new('ripemd160')
ripemd160.update(hashlib.sha256(public_key.decode("hex")).digest())
ripemd160.digest()
#main network id
#middle_man = '\00' + ripemd160.digest()
#testnet id
middle_man = '\6f' + ripemd160.digest()
checksum =
hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(middle_man).digest()).digest()[:4]
binary_addr = middle_man + checksum
addr = base58.b58encode(binary_addr)
# main address = 19kyG9Q5QXMEZSpte6fpTeo1BWKV5Pa6ch
print "testnet address: " + addr
