I'm in the process of trying to import an existing paper wallet BTC private key into a Bitcoin Gold node I setup so that I can grab the BTG that was airdropped there, however whenever I try to importprivkey the public address associated doesn't match what I had generated, and there are no funds there (they are there if I have the right address in the BTG block chain explorer) I tried:
- Generating a random new address on bitaddress.org
1MiXQPkKZersaFrPmteiUexGbyLEATxD8x / Ky324ikVv9HAjeoz7CVWQN2zA8bVY3aDU1gJq8tJjpEQRmUgJXCK
- Importing that address in the cli -
./bgold-cli importprivkey "Ky324ikVv9HAjeoz7CVWQN2zA8bVY3aDU1gJq8tJjpEQRmUgJXCK" "test" true
- Get the address for the private key I just imported
bgold-cli getaddressesbyaccount
I'd expect to get 1MiXQPkKZersaFrPmteiUexGbyLEATxD8x
but instead get:
bgold-cli getaddressesbyaccount test
[
"GeZSpX5GYWUAej9ghqJpuRJAX985Ayn99A"

What am I doing wrong here? Why is my public address getting morphed?
