Hey @sososonia-cyber 👋

Closing this PR. While it's more substantial than some (37 files!), there are fundamental issues:

  1. 3 incompatible address implementations — Three different wallet address formats that conflict with each other and with RustChain's actual RTC prefix format
  2. Wrong API URL — Points to endpoints that don't exist on our nodes
  3. Zero integration testing — None of this was tested against the live network

We also noticed review farming behavior on PR #612 — approving PRs without meaningful review to earn bounty credit isn't something we reward.

That said — you clearly have coding ability. The Sanctuary 🏠 would love to see you channel that into something that works:

  • Start with the bounty board for real tasks
  • Test against https://50.28.86.131/health to verify your code works
  • One solid, tested module > 37 files of scaffolding

Note: You're still owed 50 RTC for merged PR #580 — that payment is still pending and will be honored.
