Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

altcoin-address Build Status

Functions for working with altcoin addresses, forked from DefunctZombie.

API

validate (address [, type])

returns true if the address (string) is a valid altcoin address for the type specified

if no options are specified it defaults to bitcoin

get_address_type (address)

returns address type if valid base58 address, otherwise null

Address types

  • Bitcoin/BTC (bitcoin)
  • Litecoin/LTC (litecoin)
  • Peercoin/PPCoin/PPC (peercoin)
  • Dogecoin/DOGE (dogecoin)
  • Freicoin/FRC (freicoin)
  • Protoshares/PTS (protoshares)
  • Megacoin/MEC (megacoin)
  • Primecoin/XPM (primecoin)
  • Auroracoin/AUR (auroracoin)

I intend to update this to include more currencies in the future. If you would like a new currency added quickly please send a pull request including tests.

This will work for both BIP-0016 P2SH addresses and regular addresses.

To check the validity of a testnet address for any of the listed coins just append 'Testnet'

Example

var altcoin = require('altcoin-address');

var valid = altcoin.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'bitcoin');
if(valid)
	console.log('This is a valid address');
else
	console.log('Address INVALID');


//This should return that 'This is a valid address'
var altcoin = require('altcoin-address');

var valid = altcoin.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'litecoinTestnet');
if(valid)
      console.log('This is a valid address');
else
      console.log('Address INVALID');


//As this is a invalid litecoin address response will be 'Address INVALID'
