Generated private key is 31 bytes instead of 32. #47
Description
The derived() function sometimes returns 31 byte keys. In the derive() function here:
there is clearly the intention of having the Buffer padded to 32 bytes. But when testing the resulting private key is not padded. To replicate:
var Mnemonic = require('bitcore-mnemonic')
var seed = "erupt consider beyond twist bike enroll you salute weasel emerge divert hundred";
var hdprivkey = (new Mnemonic(seed)).toHDPrivateKey().derive("m/44'/60'/0'/0")
console.log(hdprivkey.privateKey.toBuffer().length) // prints 31Related: Consensys/eth-lightwallet#60
