Just writing some code

The private key is not a WIF string currently. You just have a PrivateKey object. You need to get the WIF string of the private key.

I am using litecore-lib in nodejs.

Code:

Code: 
var pkey = new litecore.PrivateKey();
var address = pkey.toAddress();

spawn('litecoin-cli',['importprivkey',pkey]);

But it gives me Error Message:

error code: -5
error message:
Invalid private key encoding

Please Help!!?
