Well I just learned the private key is not derived from HASH160, instead the HASH160 is derived from the public key.
import hashlib def hash160_to_base58(hash160): # Step 1: Add version byte (0x00 for mainnet) versioned_payload = b'\x00' + hash160 # Step 2: Calculate checksum checksum = hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(versioned_payload).digest()).digest()[:4] # Step 3: Concatenate versioned payload and checksum binary_address = versioned_payload + checksum # Step 4: Convert to Base58 base58_alphabet = '123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz' num = int.from_bytes(binary_address, 'big') base58 = '' while num > 0: num, remainder = divmod(num, 58) base58 = base58_alphabet[remainder] + base58 # Add leading '1's for each leading 0 byte in the binary address for byte in binary_address: if byte == 0: base58 = '1' + base58 else: break return base58 hash160 = bytes.fromhex('2cf75d92e22635a46e181b1c7b355252dd08fa28') # Replace with your actual HASH160 base58_address = hash160_to_base58(hash160) print(base58_address)
