I was comparing their chainparams.cpp files on:

And in

Code:

class CMainParams : public CChainParams {

You can find in

Code:

public:
CMainParams() {

This for DOGE:

Code:

base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,30); // 0x1e
base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,22); // 0x16
base58Prefixes[SECRET_KEY] = std::vector(1,158); // 0x9e
base58Prefixes[EXT_PUBLIC_KEY] = boost::assign::list_of(0x02)(0xfa)(0xca)(0xfd).convert_to_container >();
base58Prefixes[EXT_SECRET_KEY] = boost::assign::list_of(0x02)(0xfa)(0xc3)(0x98).convert_to_container >()

And this for DEV:

Code:

base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,30);
base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,85);
base58Prefixes[SECRET_KEY] = std::vector(1,83);
base58Prefixes[STEALTH_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,43);
base58Prefixes[EXT_PUBLIC_KEY] = list_of(0x04)(0x88)(0xB2)(0x1E).convert_to_container >();
base58Prefixes[EXT_SECRET_KEY] = list_of(0x04)(0x88)(0xAD)(0xE4).convert_to_container >();

So the public key address is the "wallet" address. They are identical and that's why the transaction worked in some way.

But the secret keys are different at the end. DOGE got (1,158) but DEV (1,83).

I don't know which value that stands for but is it like backwards compatible? I mean that the secret key of DEV has a height of "83" in something and DOGE got "158", so the DEV key is still functioning on DOGE?
