How to find address and public key for bitcoin private key
1. The mail cabinet is stolen (the database is stolen)
2. The key is stolen (the private key is stolen)
3. Knowing my home address (the public key is stolen), the lock of the mail cabinet is opened violently (the private key is cracked violently).
How are bitcoin addresses and private keys generated? Bitcoin uses elliptic curve algorithm to generate public key and private key, and chooses secp256k1 curve. The generated public key is a 33 byte large number, and the private key is a 32 byte large number. The wallet file wallet.dat directly stores the public key and private key. The bitcoin address we use when receiving and sending bitcoin is obtained after the public key is processed by the algorithm. The specific process is that the public key is first processed by SHA-256 algorithm to get 32 byte hash result, then processed by ripemed algorithm to get 20 byte summary result, and then the address we see is obtained through the character conversion process. This character conversion process is the same as that of the private key. The steps are as follows: first, add the version number to the input content (the summary result of 20 bytes for the public key and the large number of 32 bytes for the private key). After two successive SHA-256 algorithms, take the first 4 bytes of the hash result of the last time as the check code and attach it to the back of the input content, and then encode it with base58, Get the string{ RRRRR}

1. Who benefits the most from researching and hyping bitcoin
2. In essence, it's USA's Intel, NVIDIA, amd + ATI
3. Bitcoin requires a huge amount of CPU, GPU, memory, motherboard, power supply, wire and venue
4. Since the speculation of bitcoin, the sales of CPU, GPU, memory, motherboard, power supply and wire are the highest
5. It's the CPU and GPU instry of USA that really make a big profit, while the retail and service of other countries are just middlemen making a difference
6. The plan to hype bitcoin: it boosts the high-end, core and basic chip instry capacity of USA. other countries are compradors
7. Harm: lose the ability to develop domestic high-end, core and basic chips, and become a retailer that can only sell chips for USA.
2. If you replace it with the earliest backup wallet (wallet. DAT), you can still trade normally. Considering the principle of bitcoin, it can be concluded that as long as there is a private key (wallet), you can prove that you are the legitimate owner of the wallet. No matter whether you encrypt or delete the wallet (the core is the private key corresponding to an address), you can't deny it
3. When backing up the bitcoin wallet, you should also pay attention to the existence of the change mechanism of bitcoin payment (for example, if you send 50 BTC in a complete 100 BTC to an address, the system will send 50 BTC to the other party's address, and return 50 BTC to a new address of your client, which will not be directly displayed in your address list)
4. After sending bitcoin to other addresses 100 times or using 100 different addresses to receive bitcoin, please back up your wallet again, otherwise the returned and received bitcoin will be lost forever. In addition to encrypting wallets, users can also generate offline paper wallets and brain wallets.
Many small white just admission, was the private key, public key, address, and other relations confused. Some of them even lost their private key. They had money on the address, but they just couldn't get it out. Today, Xiao will try to figure out the relationship between the private key, the public key and the address
The relationship amongprivate key, public key and address is as follows:
the private key is converted into (generated) public key, and then converted into address. If there is bitcoin or integrity coin on an address, you can use the private key converted into this address to spend the above integrity coin. The generation of public key and address depends on private key, so private key is the most important
The same is true for mobile phone wallet, but the file management method of mobile phone is not as convenient as that of computer. Therefore, the general mobile wallet will provide a function called or similar to "export private key". Through this function, the private key can be exported in various formsfor example, bitcoin mobile wallet can be exported as a two-dimensional code, which can be printed or scanned on paper. When replacing a mobile phone, install a bitcoin wallet and scan the QR code to migrate bitcoin. Bitcoin mobile wallet and trustcoin mobile wallet can be exported as a clear text string and printed on paper - this is paper wallet
paper wallet allows users to spend your bitcoin or trustcoin at any terminal with bitcoin or trustcoin wallet
the loss or damage of the wallet will lead to the loss of the private key, thus completely losing the transfer right of the digital currency. To prevent such tragedies, you should always back up the data in your wallet. In addition to the address, all the private keys are saved ring the backup
summary
1, the private key should be well protected to prevent loss and forgetting. When the mobile phone clears the information, it is best to it by hand, but do not disclose it
2, you should prevent your wallet from being lost or damaged, resulting in the loss of your private key and the right to transfer in digital currency. Otherwise, you can't take out more than one currency, which is not useless
