Watch only wallet with Private key

[Bennas]

My issue is still the private key import a new address in new Electrum (anything after 1.4 I tested) . When importing in old Electrum 0.34 bring up my original address.

The only possibility that I can think of which would cause this is if there were some sort of bug in 0.34 that is creating an "invalid" address from your private key whereas the new versions are creating the valid address which is the reason for the difference. (BTW I already pointed out this is not a compressed/uncompressed issue).

I'm curious, can you spend from your address or sign a message from it in Electrum 0.34? Because that would clarify a lot of things.

I am not sure because my son is not at the same premises at the moment. All I know is that it is not watching only and it brings up the correct address moment it is imported. When I have more detail I will post it here.

Do you have a link to the 0.34 version of Electrum you downloaded which is showing you the "correct" address when you import your private keys? I can try downloading and running it locally with the private key you provided previously via PM to see if I can recreate this issue.

Thank you sir. It is for Linux. I will post it here shortly

Here is the download link for Electrum 0.34 (Linux version)

I'm not sure what you've downloaded, but that links to a git clone of the Electrum source code as of version 4.0.9. There is no version 0.34 available to download from that link. Are you sure you are running version 0.34? It's not going to be a simple process to get a 10 year old piece of software running, given the actual 0.34 source code (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/c0bf69e3b36ca0023651ee759d23a11c11a25f35/client) does not say what version of Python is required and you may well have trouble finding the compatible modules/dependencies.

ETFbitcoin had successfully installed v0.30 on a Debian10 OS based from this reply: /index.php?topic=5379817.msg58942538#msg58942538
Version is not that far from 0.34, it might work.

With same environment (good thing i didn't delete the VM), i can run Electrum 0.34. However, i couldn't find option to import private key whether when you create/restore wallet.

P.S. I download it from https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/c0bf69e3b36ca0023651ee759d23a11c11a25f35. It has same commit hash with link mentioned by @Bennas.
