Private Key To Litecoin

convert private key hex to all address type litecoin

from cryptofuzz import Litecoin
# private key hex
privatekey = "db6fae9db7f5314e1249390b8e38a91a6dff98c655f25a6bf01f8619f2b70e65"
# class litecoin
ltc = Litecoin()
p2pkh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2pkh')
p2sh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2sh')
p2wpkh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2wpkh')
p2wsh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2wsh')
p2wpkh_p2sh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2wpkh_p2sh')
p2wsh_p2sh_address = ltc.hex_addr(privatekey, 'p2wsh_p2sh')

print(f"P2PKH: {p2pkh_address}")
print(f"P2SH: {p2sh_address}")
print(f"P2WPKH: {p2wpkh_address}")
print(f"P2WSH: {p2wsh_address}")
print(f"P2WPKH_P2SH: {p2wpkh_p2sh_address}")
print(f"P2WSH_P2SH: {p2wsh_p2sh_address}")

output litecoin address:

P2PKH: LMbt6yuKK9j2qoatLMJA4Lw1myZfuAsSrj
P2SH: MGokVfCkQCwoDamYzRTBtgGksmHsNdu4ma
P2WPKH: ltc1qrg27uj6c3l2u2k3yafjtll7y7h5qemh4jyk9mz

Generating Various Litecoin Address Formats with Python

In the example provided, we utilize the cryptofuzz library to generate multiple types of Litecoin addresses from a given private key. Here's a quick breakdown of each address type generated:

• P2PKH (Pay-to-PubKey Hash): This is the most common form of Litecoin address, starting with an 'L'. It is directly associated with a specific pubkey hash.

• P2SH (Pay-to-Script Hash): Addresses that start with a '3', allowing funds to be sent to a script hash instead of a public key hash. These are used for creating multisig addresses among other things.

• P2WPKH (Pay-to-Witness-PubKey Hash): This address type is part of the SegWit upgrade, aimed at reducing the size of transactions and improving scalability. Addresses start with ltc1.

• P2WSH (Pay-to-Witness-Script Hash): Similar to P2WPKH, these addresses also support SegWit but are for scripts rather than single public keys, allowing for more complex transaction types.

• P2WPKH_P2SH and P2WSH_P2SH: These address types are nested versions of P2WPKH and P2WSH respectively, wrapped inside a P2SH address. This was initially used to ensure compatibility with wallets and services that did not yet support direct sending to P2WPKH or P2WSH addresses.

By utilizing different address formats, Litecoin users can optimize their transactions for lower fees, enhanced security, or increased compatibility, depending on their needs. The cryptofuzz library simplifies the process of generating these addresses from a single private key.
