1BYxpKKfTcZN9H5Jziqab7pySwaMcziZbL - compressed address or not?

You can't determine whether it's compressed or not only by it's address. You would need public/private key of that address.

- Uncompressed public key has 130 character
- Compressed public key has 66 character
- Uncompressed private key have prefix 5
- Compressed private key have prefix K or L
