Address::verifyAddress failing is some valid addresses

Open avrum opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

For example, The address: 31h1xbL6cDR1CCxJ7GTaww5pHRVguRXjty Is valid: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/31h1xbL6cDR1CCxJ7GTaww5pHRVguRXjty

But the function failing to validating it checksum is "3308449822" where crypto::checksum(hash) is 107380314

Any thought hot to deal with such addresses?

yes. You must find the other side of the address.

If you can access this address, 31h1xbL6cDR1CCxJ7GTaww5pHRVguRXjty will also access this address.

Because they have the same key.
