I'm having difficulty finding how to convert a public key to a compressed public key
Chris_Stewart_5 2017-01-19 17:30:23
cluelessperson: You can't translate a uncompressed public key -> compressed public key without the private key AFAIK
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:30:57
Chris_Stewart_5, I have the private key

Most altcoins have forums
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:33:15
I don't support alts. :P
Chris_Stewart_5 2017-01-19 17:33:44
cluelessperson: Actually I think I was wrong

help_vampire 2017-01-19 17:33:50
well it's going to blow up just saying
gmaxwell 2017-01-19 17:33:52
sure you can.
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:34:04
gmaxwell, I thought that sounded wrong.
Chris_Stewart_5 2017-01-19 17:34:12
the problem is with addresses :S
gmaxwell 2017-01-19 17:34:43
of course, you should never tinker with a third parties keys.
Chris_Stewart_5 2017-01-19 17:35:17
gmaxwell: Why does segwit have policy to restrict uncompressed keys? Just for space savings?
gmaxwell 2017-01-19 17:36:40
Chris_Stewart_5: and for simpler software.
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:36:42
gmaxwell, I'm making this:

gmaxwell, compressed key functionality is missing
gmaxwell 2017-01-19 17:39:29
you should not do anything with uncompressed keys.
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:39:51
okay, I'll make them a non-default
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:40:28
I still need the function to convert private/public to compressed_public
gmaxwell 2017-01-19 17:41:23
if the ecc code you're doing doesn't do that, I wouldn't use it.
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:42:04
gmaxwell, I didn't know it's in the ecc code, I thought it'd be another function
cluelessperson 2017-01-19 17:44:25
gmaxwell, I'm using the python-ecdsa I'd expect it to support that.
