I’m utilizing the Electrum pockets for Bitcoin on Home windows 10. I will get the personal key of my essential receiving deal with. I am positive this deal with works to obtain BTC as I have been in a position to earlier than. I used to be inquisitive about how personal keys could be transformed to public receiving addresses, so I attempted the device at https://bitcointools.website/device/pubkey-to-address and was in a position to get an deal with from there. Nevertheless, it isn’t any of the addresses listed in my shopper, and positively not the one I retrieved the personal key for (all addresses within the Electrum begin with “bc1” whereas the deal with I received again when changing from my personal key started with “1”). I attempted sending a small quantity (to check) to the deal with that I received again from https://bitcointools.website/device/pubkey-to-address but it surely’s not displaying up in my pockets and it seems I could have misplaced that small quantity I used as a take a look at ship. Am I doing one thing improper?
Listed here are screenshots displaying the process I am utilizing to acquire the personal key from my Electrum pockets, after which making an attempt to enter it on coinb.in and bitcointools.website, each of which give me the identical receiving deal with, which is wrong(I attempted sending a small quantity to this addy and didn’t obtain it). As a result of my receiving deal with begins with “bc1” I am considering that perhaps one thing else must be executed to account for the bech32 addresses. Can anybody assist please?

UPDATE:
I used to be in a position to considerably get it working utilizing the console (View->Present Console) in Electrum after which used a command just like bitcoin.address_from_private_key(“p2wpkh:5Kkzs8XrJNAmf9VQDFeGBfaRvSByAvPK6DbDXw5BVqswWaXSG2Y”) which returned the deal with I used to be anticipating beginning with “bc1”. My concern is that its returning the worth that it has already saved and related to that non-public key. Does anybody know of one other means I can test if it is working correctly? I do not thoughts getting into my personal key on an internet site so long as I can simply run it domestically so I do not expose myself to safety dangers. Anybody?
I used to be in a position to retrieve the small quantity of BTC I used as a “take a look at ship” by importing by personal key into a web-based pockets (blockchain.com’s pockets for individuals who care). I then despatched again (minus the charges) the BTC to my Electrum pockets. I nonetheless can’t determine why the BTC personal key returned by Electrum outputs a BTC deal with of the shape 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when my Electrum shopper exhibits me that every one my receiving addresses are of the shape “bc1…”
If anybody might shed some gentle on this I might admire it. thanks.
