I'm trying to import a private key encrypted by a piper printer that is using BIP0038 but electrum send me a message error that the following input could not be imported. What can be wrong?
Did you decrypt the key before importing it? You can do that offline using bitaddress.org.
No I didn't. Is it the only way to decrypt a private key with BIP0038?
Well no. But it's the only way that I know of to do it conveniently. How exactly did you create the key in the first place that you don't know how to decrypt it? Do you know the password to decrypt the key or not?
I encrypted the key using a piper printer. Yeah I know the password but I didn't know there was so little option to decrypt those keys. Worked fine with bitaddress though.
