Issue with PublicAddress #5

Open adrastee opened 2 years ago

adrastee commented 2 years ago

Hi, Why is the PublicAddress mandatory? It should not be, it's not a parameter of BIP38 decrypt function. Thanks.

It tries to validate found passphrase against the public address hash: https://github.com/ArchitectCat/bip38-brute-forcer/blob/8f254109a62f40f0e4d4f264dc2cda9cdeccacbd/src/Bip38BruteForcer/App.cs#L88
