Master:
Rust library for bitcoin / litecoin / generic base58 addresses checksum validation. The actual check is validating the trailing checksum against the pubkey hash. All addresses using the bitcoin format can be verified.
To validate bitcoin/litecoin address, check that:
validate_btc_address("1theaddress") == Ok(0) // (or 5, or 111 for testnet)
validate_ltc_address("Ltheaddress") == Ok(48)
Any other address may be checked using:
validate_base58_hash("...") == Ok(...)
The value returned in Ok(...) is the address version/type.
To use the package add it to cargo dependencies:
[dependencies]
coinaddress = "1.*"
