How to display the address of p2pk? #389

blockchain.info can be displayed. I want to display the p2pk address as a normal address

It's actually not strictly correct to encode p2pk scripts as addresses. For further explanation, see here.

I can see some value in displaying as addresses anyway for simplicity's sake, but given the educational philosophy of this project I'm going to opt to not do anything that's not strictly correct. Thanks for bringing this up though.
