I am following the process for bitcoin address creation as outlined in Mastering Bitcoin, however, when I try to reference this address in my bitcoin-cli, which is set to regtest, it responds with an invalid address error. I am attempting to write some JS to interact with my bitcoin node via the bitcoin-core package, but instead of just using all the built in commands, write some of the code myself to solidify my understanding.

I am using the following npm packages:

const EC = require('elliptic').ec;
const ec = new EC('secp256k1');
const bs58 = require('bs58')
const SHA256 = require("crypto-js/sha256");
const RIPEMD160 = require("crypto-js/ripemd160");

Here is my address creation function.

function createNewAddress() {
  // Get the private key
  const privateKey = ec.genKeyPair()
  // Get the public point from the private key
  const publicPoint = privateKey.getPublic();
  // Uncompressed public key
  const uncompressedPK = publicPoint.encode('hex');
  // SHA256 then RIPEMD160, aka HASH160
  const hashedPK = RIPEMD160(SHA256(uncompressedPK).toString()).toString();
  // Prepend the version, here we use 6F got the testnet (we are using regtest)
  const prependedPK = "6F"+hashedPK;
  // Calculate the checksum and take the first 4 btyes
  const checksum = SHA256(SHA256(prependedPK).toString()).toString().substring(0,9);
  // Append the checksum to the end
  const unencodedPK = prependedPK + checksum;
  // Base58Encode the unencodedPK
  const bytes = Buffer.from(unencodedPK, 'hex');
  const bitcoinAddress = bs58.encode(bytes);
  return (bitcoinAddress);
}

Here is a simple output: mtURXDaisk6ustpeo7LuiZYje9yV31JhBN
