I’m utilizing the Electrum pockets for Bitcoin on Home windows 10. I can get the non-public key of my most important receiving tackle. I am positive this tackle works to obtain BTC as I have been in a position to earlier than. I used to be interested in how non-public keys may 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 tackle from there. Nevertheless, it’s not any of the addresses listed in my shopper, and undoubtedly not the one I retrieved the non-public key for (all addresses within the Electrum begin with “bc1” whereas the tackle I obtained again when changing from my non-public key started with “1”). I attempted sending a small quantity (to check) to the tackle that I obtained again from https://bitcointools.website/device/pubkey-to-address but it surely’s not exhibiting 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 flawed?
Listed below are screenshots exhibiting the process I am utilizing to acquire the non-public key from my Electrum pockets, after which attempting to enter it on coinb.in and bitcointools.website, each of which give me the identical receiving tackle, which is wrong(I attempted sending a small quantity to this addy and didn’t obtain it). As a result of my receiving tackle begins with “bc1” I am pondering that possibly 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 tackle 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 method I can verify if it is working correctly? I do not thoughts coming into my non-public key on a web site so long as I can simply run it regionally 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 non-public 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 not work out why the BTC non-public key returned by Electrum outputs a BTC tackle of the shape 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when my Electrum shopper exhibits me that each one my receiving addresses are of the shape “bc1…”
If anybody might shed some gentle on this I might recognize it. thanks.
