Title: Keys / Addresses Post by: jackjack on March 20, 2013, 06:03:05 PM I've encountered a problem, and it's kinda difficult to investigate more as I still have 40000+ blocks to download.
I made a new Bitcoin wallet (with bitcoin 0.8.1, linux). Obviously it has default keys. Let's take the main one. Code: { The thing is, when I use pywallet (Joric's one, which is up-to-date) to import the private key (here as hexsec or sec) into another wallet, the message it returns to me mentions the address 1MUVkGv8TWjvdJ87VMGoNyhG3NLYE87WQT, and not 1Co8KFDHnwyuCxfyBWPK1ifRjGiR7AeXDC. If I had access I would have transfered 1 mBTC to each address and tried to retrieve both to see what would happened... So in the mean time, can anyone tell me what I can do to check where is the error? And can someone check to which address the private key 3d423f... corresponds? Thanks for any help Title: Re: Keys / Addresses Post by: kjj on March 20, 2013, 07:34:58 PM Does the pywallet you are using understand compressed keys?

I left for a while so I don't know much about compressed keys yet, but now you made me look closer at that, everything is clear. Thanks a lot for the tip, I hope I'll soon post here that everything's fine |
