Public key for testnet address
I'm trying to create a transaction on the testnet (manually). I have the following private key: cQKqSNkEdyLJziQSr4iKTUJC95s9HHFo4bY88gi2i6v2quiVVLZb which belongs to the following public address: mkhn3gfrGHmd4b1ZmHLdMsbQd2eHRKg8wN. When I try to sign the transaction, the public (uncompressed) key that I generate, is: 042d7331345e0da6ab1125eb39488a542a9923f31c585c20114d211a9f6bc9f3bf55d1d843cb7cf1d36b32d1cb00d2f140ef028e726a19a766f6ca7cef7b956583. This turns out to be invalid (because the transaction gets rejected by the network). However, when I tried using a tool for signing the transaction, it generated the following (correct) public key: 040b4a4274222d7239d33c17ce39d753eee97103773b7e5a89e62f0ef0121032d7331345e0da6ab1125eb39488a542a9923f31c585c20114d211a9f6bc9f3b.
What is the difference between these keys? How come the first one is incorrect when signing the tx but correct when I generated the public address for it?
