Serialize a deterministic key to vpub and deserialize it back

I am trying to write a simple Java application using BitcoinJ to derive one child publickey and get its extended version (vpub as I am testing in Testnet and I want to support SegWit) and then be able to deserialize the vpub back to a deterministic key. But when I check their output, pub and chain code look the same but the other attributes like path, creationTime and rest are not the same. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something completely?

Here is the code snippet and the outputs

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        NetworkParameters params = TestNet3Params.get();
        String mnemonic = "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about";
        DeterministicSeed seed = new DeterministicSeed(mnemonic, null, "", 0);
        DeterministicKey masterKey = HDKeyDerivation.createMasterPrivateKey(Objects.requireNonNull(seed.getSeedBytes()));

        DeterministicHierarchy hierarchy = new DeterministicHierarchy(masterKey);
        List<ChildNumber> path = HDPath.parsePath("48H/1H/0H/2H/0");

        DeterministicKey deterministicKey1 = hierarchy.deriveChild(path, false, true, new ChildNumber(0));
        System.out.println("Extended publickey 1: " + deterministicKey1);
        System.out.println("Extended publickey getPublicKeyAsHex 1: " + deterministicKey1.getPublicKeyAsHex());
        System.out.println("Extended publickey serializePubB58 1: " +  deterministicKey1.serializePubB58(params));
        String vpub1 = deterministicKey1.serializePubB58(params, Script.ScriptType.P2WPKH);
        System.out.println("Extended publickey P2WPKH: " + vpub1);
        DeterministicKey deterministicKey1FromVpub = DeterministicKey.deserializeB58(vpub1, TestNet3Params.get());
        System.out.println("Extended publickey 1 from vpub: " + deterministicKey1FromVpub );
        System.out.println("Extended publickey 1 from tpub: " + DeterministicKey.deserializeB58(deterministicKey1.serializePubB58(params), TestNet3Params.get()) );

    }

output

Do Kwon’s Detention Prolonged Until 2024 As Montenegro Responds To Extradition Requests

Image
According to an International Business Times report , Montenegro’s Supreme Court decided to extend the detention of TerraForm Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon until February 2024, following extradition requests from the United States and South Korea. Closed-Door Discussions Reveal Montenegro’s Plan For Do Kwon Initially set to be extradited to the US on December 15, Do Kwon’s fate turned when the Montenegrin High Court ruled to prolong his stay until February 15, 2024. The decision stems from charges related to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which led to significant financial losses. The High Court had previously ordered Kwon’s extradition by Friday, but his defense team appealed the decision in the appellate court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed that Kwon contested the High Court’s ruling, vehemently stating, “I do not submit to the court’s decision.” Recent reports indicate that Montenegro’s Justice Minister, Andrej Mil...

Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Begins Tomorrow: 3 Reasons Ex-SEC Official Foresees Conviction

Image
The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, is set to commence in New York on Tuesday, October 3.  This comes almost a year after the collapse of both FTX and Alameda Research. The events leading up to the trial paint a picture of alleged fraudulent activities and money laundering that caused significant damage to the businesses involved. Ex-SEC Official’s Bleak Prediction As Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Commences In a nutshell, Alameda Research purportedly took customer deposits from FTX and invested them in fictitious crypto tokens, which derived their value from the confidence in FTX’s operations.  When this confidence waned, FTX and Alameda Research suffered substantial losses, which many argue contributed to a broader disillusionment in the cryptocurrency industry.  Following an investigation, federal authorities uncovered numerous alleged crimes, leading to seven federal fraud and money-laundering cha...

Future of Bitcoin encryption and security in a QC era

How will the advancement of quantum computing impact the security of Bitcoin, and what steps are necessary to protect the network from this emerging threat? What role could lattice-based encryption play in safeguarding Bitcoin, and which of the current algorithms are best suited for this purpose? How would the implementation of such encryption technology be integrated into the existing Bitcoin infrastructure, and what challenges might arise during this process? What happens to existing addresses that rely on elliptic curve cryptography? Is there a way to seamlessly transition old addresses to the new system, or would users need to actively transfer their funds to new, more secure addresses? How could such a transition be designed to ensure user security while maintaining trust in the network? from Recent Questions - Bitcoin Stack Exchange https://ift.tt/aZeY2fo via IFTTT
