BTC::ScriptHashAddress

A subclass of BTC::Address that represents an address based on the redeem script (pay-to-script-hash, P2SH).

Initializers

new(string: String)

Returns a new address by parsing a Base58Check-encoded string that must represent a valid P2SH address.

new(hash: String, network: BTC::Network)

Returns a new address with a 20-byte binary hash.

If network is not specified, BTC::Network.default is used.

new(redeem_script: BTC::Script, network: BTC::Network)

Returns a new address with a hash of the BTC::Script (so-called “redeem script”).

If network is not specified, BTC::Network.default is used.

Instance Methods

hash

Returns a 20-byte binary hash stored within the address.

to_s

Returns string representation of the address in Base58Check encoding.

network

Returns a BTC::Network instance based on the version prefix of the address (mainnet or testnet).

version

Returns an integer value of the one-byte prefix of the address. 5 for mainnet, 196 for testnet.

public_address

Returns self.

p2pkh?

Returns false.

p2sh?

Returns true.

script

Returns BTC::Script instance that can be used in the transaction output to send bitcoins to this address.

Note: do not confuse this with the “redeem script” that is compressed within the address's hash.
