new Error('Invalid checksum') #30

Closed grio closed 7 years ago

Still have a problem. Code is: `var bip38 = require('bip38') var wif = require('wif') var encryptedKey = Buffer.from('6PRVWUbkzzsbcVac2qwfssoUJAN1Xhrg6bNk8J7Nzm5H7kxEbn2Nh2ZoGg', 'hex') var decryptedKey = bip38.decrypt(encryptedKey, 'TestingOneTwoThree', function (status) { //console.log(status.percent) // will print the precent every time current increases by 1000 })

console.log(wif.encode(decryptedKey.privateKey, decryptedKey.compressed)) ` Error is:

`$ node de.js /home/grio/temp/node_modules/bs58check/index.js:46 if (!payload) throw new Error('Invalid checksum') ^

6PRVWUbkzzsbcVac2qwfssoUJAN1Xhrg6bNk8J7Nzm5H7kxEbn2Nh2ZoGg is not hex, nor does it need to be put in a Buffer. It is a string. Leave it as a string.

Please follow the Examples :+1: .
