Adding the Contactor Class to a Project

After integrating the Contactor class from the secp256k2 library into your project, you can begin using it to work with cryptographic addresses. Below is an example that demonstrates how to convert a decimal number into both compressed and uncompressed types of addresses.

from secp256k2 import Contactor

# Initialize the Contactor class
co = Contactor()

# Specify the decimal number to convert
dec = 0xffffffffffffffffffffff880000000000000

# Convert to a compressed address
compress_address = co.Decimal_To_Addr(dec, addr_type=0, compress=True)

# Convert to an uncompressed address
uncompress_address = co.Decimal_To_Addr(dec, addr_type=0, compress=False)

This code snippet showcases how to effectively utilize the Contactor class for generating addresses from a decimal value, catering to different address types and formats.

In the provided code snippet, we utilize the Contactor class from the secp256k2 library to convert a decimal number to a blockchain address in both compressed and uncompressed formats. Here's a brief overview of the code functionality:

• First, we import the Contactor class from the secp256k2 module.

• An instance of Contactor is created and stored in variable co.

• We define a decimal dec that represents a large number, which will be used as the input for address generation.

• The Decimal_To_Addr method of the Contactor class is called twice with the decimal number:

  • Once with compress=True to generate a compressed blockchain address.

  • Once with compress=False to generate an uncompressed blockchain address.

  The two types of addresses generated cater to differing requirements in blockchain transactions, with the compressed format often preferred for its efficiency in terms of space.
