Thank you! So complicated... lol. When I do a dumpprivkey on bitcoin, I'm getting a very different type of number L2NLwmubxxxxxdMsHxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's easier if you stay in the hexadecimal and use tools:

f9001 + f8c = f9f8d (one can do this without a calculator)

and then:

Code:

$ ./bitcoin-tool --output-format base58check --public-key-compression uncompressed --network bitcoin --input-type private-key --input-format hex --output-type private-key-wif --input

Where bitcoin-tool is https://github.com/matja/bitcoin-tool

Thank you, Rico. I have another dumpprivkey value that starts with Kxxxx so it's similar. I'll grab that tool on github and play around with it.

I'm mining under boholIsland userID.
I think this is a great project to test out the limits of our trust in bitcoin cryptography. Even if I find a private key to a $10M wallet, I have no plans to take any part of it. I would not turn down a gift-reward, though, but no conditions attached for the return.

Better to have a public project than a secret one...
