This Python script is a comprehensive tool that creates various types of Bitcoin addresses, including P2PKH, P2SH, Bech32, and P2SH-P2WPKH formats. It allows users to input either a plain text sentence or a hexadecimal string, converting these inputs into private and public keys and subsequently generating the respective Bitcoin addresses.
- Multiple Address Formats: Generate Bitcoin addresses in P2PKH, P2SH, Bech32, and P2SH-P2WPKH formats.
- Key Compression: Supports both compressed and uncompressed public keys.
- Input Flexibility: Accepts plain text or hexadecimal strings for private key generation.
- Wallet Import Format: Displays Bitcoin addresses along with their respective WIF keys.
- Balance Check: Integrates with Blockchain.info API to check the balance of generated addresses.
