Bitcoin addresses.
Support for ordinary base58 Bitcoin addresses and private keys.
§Example: creating a new address from a randomly-generated key pair
use bitcoin::{Address, PublicKey, Network};
use bitcoin::secp256k1::{rand, Secp256k1};
// Generate random key pair.
let s = Secp256k1::new();
let public_key = PublicKey::new(s.generate_keypair(&mut rand::thread_rng()).1);
// Generate pay-to-pubkey-hash address.
let address = Address::p2pkh(&public_key, Network::Bitcoin);
§Note: creating a new address requires the rand-std feature flag
bitcoin = { version = "...", features = ["rand-std"] }
