P2PK is not currently supported, leading to inaccurate address balance

It seems that almost all block explorers except blockstream.info would show P2PK outputs as common Base58 encoded P2PKH bitcoin addresses like 17iyRRXBHJKbv5DKPPkttWewm3CHdNPGQd.

I understand but that seems a bug to me. Even if intentional, it is incorrect.

Are you suggesting we should add search by public key or script pub key perhaps? because search by address (p2pkh or p2sh or bech32) shouldn’t include p2pk IMHO

Search by p2pk or scriptPubKey seems a decent feature to have, I added it to the list, see https://github.com/Blockstream/esplora/issues/15

Closing, using #15 to keep track of search by scriptpubkey/scripthash
