How the private key used in the README.md has been derived?

I'm trying to do with bitcoinJS 

bitcoin.ECPair.fromWIF("e126f68f7eafcc8b74f54d269fe206be715000f94dac067d1c04a8ca3b2db734", bitcoin.networks.testnet)

but I got Error: Non-base58 character

the private key is in hex not WIF format, I guess you need to do 

const privateKey = new Buffer('<PRIVATE KEY>', 'hex');
bitcoin.ECPair.fromPrivateKey(privateKey);
