Tool to convert btc pubkeys into btsx pubkeys

[xeroc]

You just have to add those lines in the patch above that start with a + sign .. at the acording place .. or anywhere pretty below in the main procedure ..

Plus you need to define the prefix somewhere ... if you cant manage drop me a line and i can post a patches file .. i am mobile atm

I don't suppose you have the patched file to save me trying to figure out how to apply it? :)

nothing too complicated .. but it took me some hours to figure it out :)
