Different outputs from other generators #114

I noticed that your function private_key_to_public_key(private_key) outputs a different public key in comparison, for instance, with this one: https://github.com/Destiner/blocksmith/blob/master/blocksmith/bitcoin.py

Is this because your method is faster and for your purpose(bruteforce) it doesn't matter if generated addresses are different? Because addresses generated using this different public key obviously also differ from real ones.

That program generates a compressed public key, this program generates an uncompressed public key. We both generate the same thing, but we output different formats.
