yes, on the terracoin client, export the WIF address so you can later import it on your btc client and get the bitcoins.

on the terracoin client :
Code:
dumpprivkey 18ALJPQ2QRYBMci3KzZimgX6w7gJPsTNDB

then on your btc client :
Code:
importprivkey [the_previous_command_output_string]

In p2pool, a friend of mine accidentally mined bitcoins using his terracoin public key (18ALJPQ2QRYBMci3KzZimgX6w7gJPsTNDB) as the payment address.

So now the mined bitcoins are "locked inside" a BTC account of the same public key, which was never generated by a bitcoin wallet.
That account/address/publickey was originally generated by a terracoin wallet.

Could it be possible to use the private key from the TRC wallet, to access a BTC address with the public key being same in both?
