Title: How To Convert A BTC Private Key (WIF) into another CryptoCurrency Private Key? Post by: cakir on December 11, 2015, 01:39:05 PM Hi,
Is there a way to convert a BTC private key into another cryptocurrency private key? For instance I've BTC priv key (format: WIF) and I want to convert it into Dogecoin key.

You need to reverse the base58check encoding to get the raw private key. Then you can apply the base58check encoding for the altcoin that you want.
