How do you add a check sum? Might come in handy later.


1) create a template of your desired address ie 1waLLobserverburnaddressxxxxxxxxx (the last few characters will eventually be random due to checksum)

2) Base58 unencode your burn address into hex - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611

3) remove the last 4 bytes from the result and call what's left N - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702C4E117611

4) sha256(sha256(N)) - BD0F89693417148626446F3E1EA43A69453FBCF72A024600FB54A2BC34F23387

5) take the first 4 bytes of step 4 and stick it on the end of N - 000A52498DB787B09EEC7C428B8B0C853EA1C2702CBD0F8969

6) base58 encode step 5 - 1waLLobserverburnaddressxxy1oWwkk

done


 

That is so cool... thanks for that.
