Title: What is the PTS private key version bit?
Post by: 5chdn on January 07, 2014, 11:03:51 am: Bitcoin is 0x00 for publickey and 0x80 for the private key.
Protoshares is 0x38 for pubkey, but which version is the private key?

I'm looking for the ECKey.privateKeyPrefix:

Code: [Select]
ECKey.privateKeyPrefix = 0x80; // BTC mainnet 0x80, BTC testnet 0xEF
Code: [Select]
ECKey.privateKeyPrefix = 0xb0; // LTC mainnet 0xb0
Whats the privateKeyPrefix for PTS mainnet?

If you could write that in C++ we would then they to integrate it into the client to allow people to just have a hard copy of their wallets, perfect for cold storage and back up.

Just dump private key and send it to your printer. There is not much code to add. :)

having the option in the GUI allowing splitting the funds into multiple wallets and dumping the collective keys onto seperate sheets sounds nice. anyway i already added coin-control to the source code. I'll work on it in my spare time.
