I'm writing simple code in C using OpenSSL to generate valid bitcoin address - private key pair. I'm using this snippet to generate public key from given hex-form private key: #include. What is a Bitcoin private key? A Bitcoin private key is a secret number which every Bitcoin wallet has. This 256-bit number can be represented in several formats: in hexadecimal – 256 bits, in hexadecimal is 32 bytes, or 64 characters in the range 0-9 or A-F, Base64 string, a WIF key, or a mnemonic phrase.
Modern cryptocurrency wallets should use hierarchical deterministic (HD) keys instead.
Introduction
btckeygenie is a standalone Bitcoin keypair/address generator written in Go.btckeygenie generates an ECDSA secp256k1 keypair, dumps the public key incompressed and uncompressed Bitcoin address, hexadecimal, and base64 formats,and dumps the private key in Wallet Import Format (WIF), Wallet Import FormatCompressed (WIFC), hexadecimal, and base64 formats.
btckeygenie includes a lightweight Go package called btckey to easily generatekeypairs, and convert them between compressed and uncompressed varieties ofBitcoin Address, Wallet Import Format, and raw bytes. Invitation card making software for mac.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin Generate Private Key C Key
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent digitally from user-to-user on the peer-to-peer Bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.
A Bitcoin Address is an ID of 26-35 alphanumeric numbers, that represents a possible destination for an (incoming) Bitcoin payment for example to a Bitcoin Wallet. A Bitcoin wallet address, which is a hash of the corresponding public key, always starts either with number 1 or with the number 3.
