Importing an encrypted Private Key into Omniwallet.org

Private keys that start with 6 are encrypted with an added layer of protection/password around them.

Before you can import it into Omniwallet you will need to decode/decrypt the private key.

To do this you can use a site like bitaddress.org (For optimal security we recommend downloading a copy of the website from their GitHub zip link in the websites footer and running it on an offline machine)

Once loaded and on that site you can click on the 'wallet details' tab,

• Enter your private key into the specified field and click 'View details'
• A new field should open up that says Enter BIP38 passphrase.
• Enter the passphrase for the private key and select decrypt.
• Once that completes you can scroll down and see your decrypted address/private key.
• You can then follow the regular instructions here to import the private key into your Omniwallet account.

Note: All private keys can be expressed in a compressed and uncompressed format. When importing into Omniwallet make sure you import the version of the private key that matches the address you are wanting. Compressed private key for compressed address and uncompressed pkey for uncompressed address etc..
