bitcoinaddress = RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(publickey))

Correct me if I'm wrong (please, and I'll gladly eat crow) but I think it would be hard to use an analytical attack on RIPEMD-160 in this case.

I think you are correct on the analytical attack. At least a far as I understand (minimally) the mathematical genius that is analyzing them.

I was worried it was the simpler:

bitcoinaddress = RIPEMD-160(publickey)
