Convert testnet private key to mainnet private key in Bitcoin

tn2mn.py

main = bytes([128])
test = bytes([239])

def decodeSecret(key, network):
    assert isinstance(network, bytes), network
    k = base58.b58decode_check(key)
    len_correct = len(k) == 32 + len(network) or (len(k) == 33 + len(network) and k[-1] == 1)

    is_compressed = len(k) == 33 + len(network)
    return k[len(network):len(network) + 32], is_compressed

    assert len(out) <= 34, len(out)
    ret = base58.b58encode_check(out)
    return ret

    data, compressed = decodeSecret(key, test)
    return encode_secret(data, main, compressed)

Awesome code!

Hi how to do the invert ?

can anyone help me how to use this code

@radhefoot12345 install base58, copy this into a script, update your testnet private key (tn variable), run it. It will print command to run (with bitcoin-cli) on your mainnet.
