Implement base58check encoding for sidechain addresses instead of using raw hexadecimal publicKeys

Open cronicc opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

We currently use raw hexadecimal public keys as sidechain addresses. End users should never have to handle raw hex strings directly. Instead the public keys should be encoded using https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding, which gives the additional advantage of address check summing.
