My confusion stemmed from the
Code:
base58.public_key_to_bc_address()
function in gavinandresen's bitcointools giving me the wrong result. (most likely I am running the wrong version or something)Thank you for the pointers fellas

Yes, there are many utilities to do that, or you can write your own. For example:
Code:
$ echo 0406b7bb1663fc7b6a8a5630038a393581fe24c4fa6da64d94fd76de758885809f40ba54c40b95040294defc84d255079b4a13d1f784c1cf271dbc0d4e864a1696 | sx addr

Code:
7. "in":[
8. {"prev_out":
9. {"hash":"2007ae...",
10. "n":0},
11. "scriptSig":"304502... 042b2d..."}],
8. {"prev_out":
9. {"hash":"2007ae...",
10. "n":0},
11. "scriptSig":"304502... 042b2d..."}],
Quote
Line 11 contains the signature of the person sending the money,
304502..., followed by a space, and then the corresponding public key, 04b2d.... Again, these are both in hexadecimal.
304502..., followed by a space, and then the corresponding public key, 04b2d.... Again, these are both in hexadecimal.
Can I convert the public key in scriptSig back into it's corresponding bitcoin address or is this not possible?
Thanks
