senderAddress should automatically convert hex format to base58

[hayeah]

The qtumd RPC does not support senderAddress in hexadecimal format. This makes the qtumjs API rather awkward when senderAddress is involved.

Should detect hex address and convert that automatically to base58 format.

@hayeah hey man, did you fix the bug? Can it deal with overloaded methods now?

[hayeah]

the qtumd core team is adding hex address support, I am waiting on that.

what do you mean by overloaded methods?

[pplam]

Suppose I have two methods share the same name in my abi, i.e. transfer(address,amount) and tansfer(address,amount,data), your qtumjs doesn't work. I have figured it out in a issue before, but somehow it was deleted. Please have a look at here:

qtumjs/src/Contract.ts

Lines 195 to 204 in dea61dd

	for (const methodABI of info.abi) {
	const name = methodABI.name
	// Allow sendToContract only for non-constant methods
	if (!methodABI.constant) {
	this.sendMethodsMap[name] = methodABI
	}
	this.callMethodsMap[name] = methodABI
	}

And another issue, I don't know why some events are decoded to null, so I have to use ethjs-abi to decode them manually

[hayeah]

can you give me the Solidity example where the events are decoded to null?

I'll debug it. I've created an issue for this problem: #4

[hayeah]

@pplam method overloading support is added. see:

https://qtumproject.github.io/qtumjs-doc/#method-overloading

i'll close this issue in favour of #4

[hayeah]

actually this problem is not solved

[hayeah]

perhaps a stop-gap solution is to detect hex address and implicitly make an RPC call to convert it to base58 format
