AdequateCryptoAddress.address('bitcoincash:qrtj3rd8524cndt2eew3s6wljqggmne00sgh4kfypk', 'bch').legacy_address #=> "1LcerwTc1oPsMtByDCNUXFxReZpN1EXHoe"

address_string = 'qrtj3rd8524cndt2eew3s6wljqggmne00sgh4kfypk'
addr = AdequateCryptoAddress.address(address_string, 'bch')
addr.prefix #=> "bitcoincash"
addr.type #=> :p2pkh
addr.address #=> "bitcoincash:qrtj3rd8524cndt2eew3s6wljqggmne00sgh4kfypk"

  def validate_address_type
    errors.add(:address, 'invalid address') unless AdequateCryptoAddress.valid?(address, currency)
  end

  # for Ripple
  def validate_destination_tag
    errors.add(:dest_tag, 'invalid destination tag') if dest_tag.present? && !(dest_tag =~ /\A\d{1,10}\z/)

# frozen_string_literal: true
# for Rails /config/initializers/adequate_crypto_address.rb
module AdequateCryptoAddress
  class Coin

    def initialize(address_sring)
      @address = address_sring
    end

    def valid?(_type)
      address.present?
    end
