Title: Did I lose my Zcash? Priv Key generation help Post by: BitcoinBarrel on January 03, 2017, 11:59:23 PM So I created a random Bitcoin Address using BitAddress.org then took the Bitcoin address and converted it to ZCash using this format:
https://runkit.io/gojomo/baddr2taddr/1.0.4/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa6 => t1StbPM4X3j4FGM57HpGnb9BMbS7C1nFW1r Source: https://forum.z.cash/t/javascript-address-generator-for-zcash/2926/6 I sent funds to the Zcash output address then later checked the Wallet Details on BitAddress.org from the Private Key. The details showed the Compressed Address is the Bitcoin address shown when you generate a new address. And when you use the tool to convert to Zcash it is a different zcash address for the compressed and uncompressed bitcoin addresses. Does the Private Key for a Bitcoin Address work for both Zcash equivalents either Compressed or Uncompressed? Title: Re: Did I lose my Zcash?
