P2PKH Address Generator

Generate custom P2PKH Bitcoin addresses with specified characters using Python. This project includes a robust algorithm for address generation with customizable options for developers and enthusiasts.

cover

This Python application is designed to generate Pay-to-PubKey-Hash (P2PKH) Bitcoin addresses with the ability to specify the second and third characters of the address. It includes a loop to generate both public and private keys, runs the address generation algorithm, and checks if the address meets the specified criteria.

Features

  • Generates P2PKH Bitcoin addresses.
  • Allows customization of the second and third characters of the address.
  • Implements the full address generation algorithm, including SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 hashing, network byte addition, checksum calculation, and Base58 encoding.
