Importing my PTS/BTC privkeys only worked after doing the following steps

1.) get wif for pts/btc address
2.) go to brainwallet and convert Base65Check privkey to hex
3.) use key_to_wif to convert brainwallet hex key to privkey
4.) Both priv keys differ in the last view bytes (i suspect thats the Check-part)

We were only using a single SHA256 hash... rather than 2.

Created unit test to pass the example give on bitcoin wiki.
