I forked a coin and found that whatever I put in pubKeyHash prefix, I need to add 0x80 to it, to calculate wif prefix and hence generate an address keypair, i.e address and private key corresponding to that address. If I add anything apart from 0x80, to calculate wif prefix,the private key generated doesn't correspond to that address. Would anyone tell me the reason for the same.
6Nope. It was arbitrarily chosen by me. – Pieter Wuille – 2018-04-10T17:42:11.277
