stdnum.bitcoin

Bitcoin address.

A Bitcoin address is an identifier that is used as destination in a Bitcoin transaction. It is based on a hash of the public portion of a key pair.

There are currently three address formats in use:

• P2PKH: pay to pubkey hash

• P2SH: pay to script hash

• Bech32
