In English, convert the address to hex, but if the `i`th digit is a letter (ie. it's one of `abcdef`) print it in uppercase if the `4*i`th bit of the hash of the address is 1 otherwise print it in lowercase.
# Implementation
In javascript:
```js
const createKeccakHash = require('keccak')
function toChecksumAddress (address) {
address = address.toLowerCase().replace('0x','');
var hash = createKeccakHash('keccak256').update(address).digest('hex')
var ret = '0x'
for (var i = 0; i < address.length; i++) {
if (parseInt(hash[i], 16) >= 8) {
ret += address[i].toUpperCase()
} else {
ret += address[i]
}
}
return ret
}
```
```
> toChecksumAddress('0xfb6916095ca1df60bb79ce92ce3ea74c37c5d359')
'0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359'
```
Note that the input to the Keccak256 hash is the lowercase hexadecimal string (i.e. the hex address encoded as ASCII):
```
var hash = createKeccakHash('keccak256').update(Buffer.from(address.toLowerCase(), 'ascii')).digest()
```
# Rationale
Benefits:
- Backwards compatible with many hex parsers that accept mixed case, allowing it to be easily introduced over time
- Keeps the length at 40 characters
