It's just a regular ECDSA public key. Nothing special about it at all.

hi,
i am just studying the sourcecode of different cryptocurrencies
and i saw this part in the code:
chainparams.cpp
i also checked the headerfile and understood that this public key is used to sign broadcast messages..
what i don't understand is what kind of public key that is? it's a 128 Character key with leading 0x04 at beginning --> so total of 130 characters. If the public key used here is a public key linked to a BTC-address how did the developer integrate
that in the source?? did they first compiled the source/merkle/genesis hash, let the system run, generate an btc-address and afterwards included the public key in the source???
