Hello all,
pull #649 now also defines an import/export format for private keys
whose public key is compressed.
Rationale: even though a compressed and uncompressed public key share
the same actual 32-byte secret, the import/export format needs a
marker that states whether the corresponding compressed or
uncompressed public key should be used (since they have different
addresses).
Format:
* uncompressed: 0x80 + [32-byte secret] + [4 bytes of Hash() of
previous 33 bytes], base58 encoded
* compressed: 0x80 + [32-byte secret] + 0x01 + [4 bytes of Hash()
previous 34 bytes], base58 encoded
Any comments or suggestions regarding this format? Below I've included
3 cases to test implementations with.
Test cases:
case 1:
* secret (hex):
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
