In Blockstack.js the the compressed key is returned as the public key while in stacks-transactions-js the uncompressed key is returned.

This results in two different addresses derived from the same private key using (semantically in my mind) the same derivation path:

  • publicKeyToString(getPublicKey(createStacksPrivateKey(userData.appPrivateKey))) // via elliptic lib
  • getPublicKeyFromPrivate(userData.appPrivateKey) // from via bitcoin lib

Should there be a method to derive the compressed public key from the uncompressed private key?
