I have a question, i have here on a sheet of paper my adress, and keys (also private key).

My question is: The adress wich begin with an "N", does it contain 0 (zero) or the letter "O".

And what are the O or 0 ´s in the private and public keys. Please explain, thank you!

should have been asking this a long time ago.

you should be able to tell the difference between the 0 and o in the private key the same way you can tell the difference reading this post. in the address it should be the same, only the "o" is capital like O.. compared to 0.. you can still see the difference so you shouldnt have a problem telling the difference.. 0 is a zero, o is letter o.. O is just capital o... Cheesy

pro tip: when writing down a private key, underline all the numbers when writing it down. that way you will never get confused between o and 0..

The private key is hex encoded: there is ONLY a 0(zero) possible (No O or o letter in the private key) see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal
The address is base32 encoded: there is ONLY an O (Letter O) possible (No zero in the Address) see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32

ah.. good to know.. i didnt realise this.. thanks for correcting me!!
