Function get_network_for_address

pub fn get_network_for_address(address: &Address<NetworkUnchecked>) -> Network

Gets the (approximate) network from a bitcoin address.

This function mimics how Address.network is calculated in bitcoin v0.30. However, that field was removed in more recent versions in part because it can only distinguish between Bitcoin, Testnet and Regtest.

As of bitcoin v0.32.4, Address::is_valid_for_network() performs equality checks using NetworkKind and KnownHrp, which only distinguish between Bitcoin, Testnet and Regtest. https://docs.rs/bitcoin/0.32.4/src/bitcoin/address/mod.rs.html#709-716 https://docs.rs/bitcoin/0.32.4/src/bitcoin/network.rs.html#51-58 https://docs.rs/bitcoin/0.32.4/src/bitcoin/address/mod.rs.html#200-209
