Anyone else have problems where one changes base58Prefix and you use the same value as a wallet used several years ago and you get errors?  Almost as if its not using the same equation/algorithm?  I mine to the address created in the new wallet, but when I check an explorer, the address that was mined to was different from the one reflected in the wallet, as if the base58 conversion is wrong (in spite of using the same value as in previous wallet versions).  I also have problems where I can't dumpprivkey and simply get an error stating I don't have the privkey for that address.  Even in some troubleshooting I can get the privkey, but its not in the same format as the older wallet's dumpprivkey format in spite of being the same base58 value.

That is something that I have not heard before. The problem is intriguing and there must be a technical explanation for this. Have you tried searching abot it on google. Sometimes, google does have explanation of this kinds of problems.

Yes I agree with you. base58prefix creates problems with altcoins. I don't even know how to get rid of it. I was also searching for some suggestions.

The coin might show the false price value or your coins might just lost the value at that sudden moment. Also, the coin values mightn't always show the proper transaction value if the coins are transformed into different ones.

That has nothing to do with this.

Do you have any specifics with the "problems" that you've noticed as well?  Perhaps their source?  Is there a term associated with it.
