Title: What is the difference between ECKey in bitcoinj and CKey in bitcoin-qt ? Post by: IloveAnonCoin on May 31, 2014, 04:26:58 AM I have tried to see the difference between two class, but still think it is almost the same.

CKey is a real private key, one layer about ECKey, and can't represent a public key. If my memory is good, CPubKey also encapsulate an CECKey. At least, this is how I implemented it in NBitcoin, and I was inspired by core + BitcoinJ, so it should be what I tell you. :) |
