9 years ago Yes, the wallet uses an older version of bitcoinjs-lib and is not compatible with new versions. 'Bitcoin' is not a function but an object and in the latest bitcoinjs-lib the object was renamed to 'bitcoin'. You can see examples of what you're trying to do here https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/blob/master/test/integration/basic.js.

9 years ago Thanks, for your response. That's good to know that I was on the right track. Yes, sorry, I meant object not function. :).
Thanks! Joseph

I appologize in advance if my question is silly or obvious. I'm noob to bitcoin and bitcoinjs-lib package, which you are using in your app.
I am attempting to modify the browser wallet for another alt-coin. I wanted to set the network ID bit to something different. So, I downloaded the latest version of bitcoinjs-lib from the github source (https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib), since the library was compressed version in the browser-wallet source code. I thought I would add a different network ID byte then recompress and move the file over. So, I was looking at the function to create a new address and found it in the wallet.js file.
I noticed the line:
var eckey = new Bitcoin.ECKey(false);
However, I could not determine how this object gets created in the bitcionjs-lib packages since there is no function of type Bitcoin. I also could not find a function corresponding to the following line (getBitcoinAddress).
address = eckey.getBitcoinAddress().toString();
So, my question is: what am I missing? Is there another place to find these functions other than the bitcoinjs-lib package? Does this browser wallet use an older version of the bitconjs-lib that has changed?
Again I'm sorry if my question is terrible, maybe there is something I don't understand about javascript. I usually work in Python, or PHP. If you have time to shoot me a response, I'm quite grateful for that!
