They say a image speaks louder then 1000 words so:

enter image description here

As you can see from the image above, this should work ? What am i missing here?

This is my encode function, http://cryptocoinjs.com/modules/currency/coinstring/

I can confirm the private key spitted out is in correct format for if i do a dump i get:

$ ./src/d-cli dumpprivkey WRSybD94sWugjAQ89zyvbLsnw76ovCYEGo

  • How does your encode() function work? You probably aren't encoding it as base58 correctly or you are encoding the wrong thing (e.g. hex string instead of the bytes themselves).

The issue as suggest by Andrew was in the encode function. After using https://www.npmjs.com/package/wif everything worked perfectly as intended.
