Re: [bitcoin-dev] Visually Differentiable - Bitcoin Addresses

Or like keyart: https://pthree.org/2014/04/18/the-drunken-bishop-for-openpgp-keys/ Images would definitely be quicker to verify by a human, but I don't think humans can RELIABLY verify anything close to 25 bytes through an image. Our visual processing system is designed wrong for this purpose,

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Visually Differentiable - Bitcoin Addresses

If you are going to rely on human verification of addresses, the best way might be map it to words. For example, with a 6000 word list, a 25 byte address (with a checksum) could be mapped to 16 words like this: vocally acquireremoved unfounded euphemismsanctuary

Re: [bitcoin-dev] Visually Differentiable - Bitcoin Addresses

Checking the first few bytes of a Bitcoin Address should not be considered sufficient for ensuring that it is correct as it takes less than a second to generate a 3 character vanity address that matches the first 3 characters of an address. On Mon, 30 Oct 2017, 11:44 shiva sitamraju via

[bitcoin-dev] Visually Differentiable - Bitcoin Addresses

Hi, When I copy and paste bitcoin address, I double check the first few bytes, to make sure I copied the correct one. This is to make sure some rogue software is not changing the address, or I incorrectly pasted the wrong address. With Bech32 address, its seems like in this department we are
