Hi,

Thanks for this tool!

There's one thing I don't quite get. When I dump wallet.dat using Bitcoin Core, the resulting addresses and keys start, respectively, with bc1 (address) and L (privkey). However, when I extract privkeys from the same .dat file using Walletool, the corresponding addresses and private keys all start with 1 (address) and 5 (privkey).

Can somebody explain this mismatch to me? Is there some kind of conversion going on? Does it affect anything?

Thanks!
