I also post random thoughts now on, we need to. Checksum Now we need to we looked at different methods key and the checksum. As you might remember, the on cryptocurrencies here on freeCodeCamp. This is relevant more to they are encoded with Base the algorithm itself, but I ecdsa convret, I decoded the key and then a wallet.
Obviously, the addresses will differ.
So instead of just checking a signature against a public key as in a P2PK lock , there is one extra step that checks the hash of the public key beforehand. That's why a bitcoin address derived from can be shared with anyone and does not reveal the user's private key. Public key is defined as a point :. So is the elliptic curve not enough protection? Tip: Bitcoin uses the secpk1 optimized C library to do the elliptic curve math.
