Task definition

Is there a link to the actual definition of what is a valid BTC address? The wikipedia link (at time of writing) doesn't say anything on the topic other than that it is “human readable” and “around 33 characters long” and “always starts with a 1 or 3”; that's far too vague for a Rosetta Code task! (Yes, I could try decoding some of the existing examples, but I greatly prefer to be able to independently code tasks if I can. Independent implementations help ensure that the task itself is properly possible.) A link for this sort of thing is entirely adequate for now. –Donal Fellows 00:16, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
