Hi,
I'm trying to generate a public address from a public key. I've read the docs at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses.
In step 2, it says to encrypt (sha256) the public key.
However, the result is 32511e82d56dcea68eb774094e25bab0f8bdd9bc1eca1ceeda38c7a43aceddce and not what they showed in step 2 (600FFE422B4E00731A59557A5CCA46CC183944191006324A447BDB2D98D4B408).
What am I missing here?
