1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Bitcoin Core generates wrong private key? on: February 16, 2021, 04:14:14 PM
I try to make this short, has anyone enounterd a problem where private key from bitcoin core gives different address with 0 balance when imported info electrum?

Steps to reproduce.
1. Install bitcoin core 0.21.0 on windows or linux
2. Cant sync because machine is offline
3. Create wallet and generate native segwit address to recieve coins (it starts with bc1***)
You can send some coins on that address and it can be searched on blockchain explorer
4. Open console and dump priv key for that address
5. When you try to import that key into Electrum the balance shows 0
6. When you enter that private key into bitadress.org it shows completely different public address and does not show the one you generated in bitcoin core (bc1***)

My question is, is it really a bug in 0.21.0 version, or maybe its not possible to move wallets like that?
