Is public-key-rmd supported? about bitcoin-tool HOT 3 CLOSED

You're absolutely right, thanks for pointing it out.
The option was added to the --help output like you say, but I didn't get round to implementing it in a way I liked.
I wanted to restructure the code to remove the mess of special cases to handle every possible conversion.
I've now done that with commit 5dd84f4 which the command line you posted should work fine in:

./bitcoin-tool --input-type public-key-rmd \ --input-format hex \ --input 62E907B15CBF27D5425399EBF6F0FB50EBB88F18 \ --output-type address \ --output-format base58check 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

The reverse operation also seems to work :
./bitcoin-tool --input-type address \ --input-format base58check \ --input 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa \ --output-type public-key-rmd \ --output-format hex 62e907b15cbf27d5425399ebf6f0fb50ebb88f18

As a warning: with this version, I've changed the meaning of the private-key input/output type to mean a raw key, and added a private-key-wif input/output type to explicitly mean a WIF private key, specifying the corresponding public key compression type.
