I would like to thank Grondilu for his bash library (I guess we could call it that) for generating bitcoin addresses.

Here is a bitpoa info file for the script, that I just made for testing purposes:
Code:
file:bitpoa.bash
algo:sha256
address:1Dga4BiLThvbFeA7b2sxzQx2G85uCk67kr
txid:9209f8bfaa967cf2530a6a708ac12b370615ca4e4d5242e8bc28261f12522bce
block:142683
You can check it with
Code:
bitpoa -v -f bitpoa.bash -i bitpoa.bash.poa
where bitpoa.bash.poa is this info file. But it may not work if you copy/paste due to tabbing (yes, I know: tabs are evil) and newlines. However, it should work with the file provided in the archive below.

Sorry for multiple posts but I'm having problems sending it all in one chunk.
