hey,


i have following issue

i have a privat key which starts with L ( its from 2014 ) and i took the private key from the blockchain.com wallet ( previously info )

so what i have read is that if it starts with L its compressed so i need to uncompress it.

If i uncompress it will it work 100% and i have access to the bitcoins or not?



could someone elaborate the steps how to uncompress it?

im just afraid because i have read that private key is linked to 2 public adresses or something and if the uncompressed priv key is for the second adress which doesnt hold my funds then i dont have access?
