• Summary

I was using this code for sending btc transactions and it was working really good. I like the simplicity. However, when I imported my private key (mainnet BTC) and tried to see the wallet address, it was showing a legacy address. While, the wallet that I created was segwit. So, I am a bit confused here. Can some help me get the segwit address?

• Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. StackOverflow, personal fork, etc.)

Steps to reproduce:

• First, I imported the private key and converted to buffer using ECPair

  const keyPair = ECPair.fromWIF(private_key);
  const account = new CryptoAccount(keyPair.privateKey);

• Then I checked the account using the folllowing:

  var addr = await account.address("BTC");
  console.log("Wallet address:", addr);

• The address was shown as following

"1QAFzHidiMNVED9AfP*****************" Starting with "1"

Whereas, it should output something like this,

"bc1qlc9jt4kx5x***************" Starting with bc1

Can somebody please help out here?

Not sure if you solve it, But i am replying just in case someone else needs it.

if you need p2wpkh wallets ("bc1***").

const network = bitcoin.networks.bitcoin;

const keyPair = ECPair.fromWIF(privateKeyString, network);

const privateKey = keyPair.privateKey;

const account = new CryptoAccount(privateKey);

const pubkeyBuffer = Buffer.from(keyPair.publicKey);

const { address } = bitcoin.payments.p2wpkh({ pubkey: pubkeyBuffer, network });

now the address will be "bc1"
