Hi all.
I need help.
For some reason my private BTG key doesn't work
I have generated the address here:
https://btgwallet.online/It is saved okay because i look 10 times to be sure ...
Address GgASZ2Qvpi2SjmGzt6a1GLEFpLyqycqEDU
Public 038de5bb6f8278c4b1579baeab59aaa68376bc5218d8be150ec1ef9ccee0fff3d0
Also I have reseived answer from BTG Support Team:
Hello,
Unfortunately I have sad news for you. I got answer from the Core Developer. There is nothing we can do about your
problem. All available wallets need the compressed key you got in the first form.
"Any keys used you will need to manually store safely as they will be needed later to redeem the bitcoin gold."
I wish to have better news for you.
best regards
Support Team
You can convert from uncompressed to compressed. Problem is: you have to do it yourself, if you ask someone to do it for you he can steal your money. Here is enough info to get you through it, at least for BTC:

uncompressed: 0x80 + [32-byte secret] + [4 bytes of Hash() of previous 33 bytes], base58 encoded
compressed: 0x80 + [32-byte secret] + 0x01 + [4 bytes of Hash() previous 34 bytes], base58 encoded
case 1:

anyone uncompressed version you have if you want to see that money again.
