SegWit compliant? #100

Open mautematico opened 7 years ago

mautematico commented 7 years ago

Are addresses generated by vanitygen compatible with SegWit?

reppolice commented 7 years ago

Apparently much new code will be needed for SegWit, addresses for now begin with 3 and will begin with bc https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki#Examples

Vanitygen cannot currently generate SegWit (or anything but P2PKH) addresses. To support P2SH-wrapped SegWit addresses, which are what most people want when they say "SegWit" address, vanitygen will need to be changed from simply generating an ECDSA keypair to being able to generate a small Bitcoin Script which involves the random keypair, which is a significant, but not massive, change.

I've been asking around what to do with this output @jaonoctus , cant get any answers. Straight importing this privkey in Electrum gives me the 1xx address. Are these 3xx addresses known to work, and how?

oclVanitygen doesn't have "script"

@reppolice here is a way to access the generated P2SH address
