added new output type: script-address #22

I needed to add --output-type script-address for a coin project. So here's my patch for the upstream project.

Usage example:

./bitcoin-tool --network bitcoin --input-type private-key-wif --input-format base58check --input 5JZjfs5wJv1gNkJXCmYpyj6VxciqPkwmK4yHW8zMmPN1PW7Hk7F --output-type script-address --output-format base58check

Why would you create a script address based on a public or private key? Script addresses are based on scripts.

Hm @hrobeers good point. Now that i think about it, i did this last month to generate a bunch of script addresses for tests. Doesn't seem very useful generally now! Closing.

@nohea for generating P2SH addresses (and redeem scripts) satin-blocks could use a block to plug behind the satin-compile block https://github.com/hrobeers/satin-blocks

Thanks - satin-blocks i can use to get up to speed on P2SH

hrobeers commented 6 years ago

If you just want to learn and play with P2SH, I suggest to look at: https://medium.com/@hrobeers/p2sh-bitcoin-script-puzzle-explained-26c8cb03ff90

It also explains how to use peerscript-labs which is fully functional for creating and spending P2SH transactions on the peercoin testnet.

But feel free to contribute to satin-blocks. It is meant to replace the peerscript labs js libs.
