"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Bitcoin address"

[rahul70392]

Firstly, thanks for creating this very useful code. I am using it to test payment gateway with Bitcoin testnet. I have altered signer.js for testnet -

let testnet = bitcoinjs.networks.testnet // define bitcoin testnet exports.generateNewSegwitAddress = function () { // let keyPair = bitcoinjs.ECPair.makeRandom() -- for bitcoin mainnet let keyPair = bitcoinjs.ECPair.makeRandom({network: testnet})

But when I hit the -"http://localhost:2222/request_payment/0.005/BTC/wheres%20the%20money%20lebowski/seller3/customer2/http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F"

it returns - " "error": "{\"result\":null,\"error\":{\"code\":-5,\"message\":\"Invalid Bitcoin address or script\"},\"id\":\"2c015994-6f01-4acd-94e4-77bd2b1d547c\"}\n""

Please suggest if I need to add something to make it work on the bitcoin testnet. Thanks in advance!

Hello! You need to restart bitcoind with parameter to work in testnet, that way bitcoind will accept testnet adressess as valid.

Thanks a lot for your kind reply! I have started it as testnet, the issue here is the address generated is for livenet. Please refer below

Listening on port 2222 new Segwit generated addess { address: '3Bc8gcSk9XvttwswLXcQvkCRhxDFH7JEht', WIF: 'cSNPsA9fMtdoAL5WjNeauMpRLL9NMHbox6YjQqyhvsatDpt9BBzg' } c8c20e12-00a8-425f-8175-71b8191298ca checking seller existance... c8c20e12-00a8-425f-8175-71b8191298ca seller already exists c8c20e12-00a8-425f-8175-71b8191298ca created address 3Bc8gcSk9XvttwswLXcQvkCRhxDFH7JEht c8c20e12-00a8-425f-8175-71b8191298ca { Error: {"result":null,"error":{"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Bitcoin address or script"},"id":"5ab67858-c72e-4a69-8919-b89ba41d7793"}

I have made the necessary changes in the code(I believe) to generate the testnet address.

let testnet = bitcoinjs.networks.testnet // define bitcoin testnet exports.generateNewSegwitAddress = function () { // let keyPair = bitcoinjs.ECPair.makeRandom() -- for bitcoin mainnet let keyPair = bitcoinjs.ECPair.makeRandom({network: testnet})

I don't get what is the issue here.

Same issue, with bitcoind in testnet mode, the app try to create a livenet address

[Overtorment]

Okay, testnet support feature is obviously demanded. Ill implement it nearest time.

Hello @Overtorment . Have you solved the issue on testnet? I am still getting the same error Invalid address.

Thank you.

[ITsolution-git]

I just solve the issue.

var testnet = bitcoinjs.networks.testnet 
var keyPair = bitcoinjs.ECPair.makeRandom({ network: testnet })
var wif = keyPair.toWIF()
var address = keyPair.getAddress()

I can make a PR if you want.

[Overtorment]

Please do. Testnet should be configurable in config
