Just to clarify, the hash is computed on the bytes, as shown in the following example, not directly on the hex string or str, because it would be a different hash.


The part I don't understand is this, my friend,

When you convert Public Key to SHA256, can you detect the Wallet address?

The code you sent only gives the address when you write the public key.
After giving the public key, it takes a few seconds to get information about the Wallet. Wink

You don't expose the public key, you only expose the hash (sha256). Calculating the private or public key from there would be equivalent to trying to solve the puzzle.

It should display something like this:

Code:
pubkey (hash): 0f715baf5d4c2ed329785cef29e562f73488c8a2bb9dbc5700b361d54b9b0554
