Generating cryptocoin address

0 votes

I'm using this https://github.com/lian/bitcoin-ruby for my project. I've got Bitcoin to work perfectly, and since the Bitcoin gem did not have native support for Dogecoin I had to self-implement it.

The problem seems to be in this particular line. (corresponding to the format of the crypto address)

:address_version => "30"


:address_version = PUBKEY_ADDRESS in base58.h 

base58.h

PUBKEY_ADRESS contains value 30.

Specifying this particular number will give address beginning with letter 'L' (litecoin address), where Dogecoin requires 'D'.

Any idea on the cause behind this result?

30 in decimal will give you a address begins with a letter D

30 in hexadecimal (48 in decimal) will give you a address begins with letter L

I think that bitcoin-ruby first changes PUBKEY_ADDRESS from hexa to decimal so :address_versionshould be 1E (30 in decimal)
