The below statement from the README.md claims the "public key" can be calculated from the "Bitcoin address". This is incorrect. Craig was able to recover the public key because the key was revealed on the blockchain when the address's output was sent. The address Craig used had sent and received BTC so the public key was included in the spending scripts saved to the blockchain which he just copied.
"Craig is successfully able to go from a Bitcoin address to the public key associated with it, and you can, too! Here are the steps, with handy on-page execution of them."
