Hello,

I'm studying this graph "how to generate a bitcoin address" :

https://royalforkblog.github.io/2014/08/11/graphical-address-generator/

But if SHA256 and RIPE160 give us only bytecode that is X bits long and the orignal secret to all of this is a random 256 bits number.

Can I create bitcoin address with another cryptographic hash like BLAKE2 ?
