I have used bitcoinj v0.2
From wich I have a base64 string of 12 bytes 16 characters
and a base58 string of 34 characters that is 25 bytes.
it has a xor test in that string so I have a matching 10 bytes from the base64 string
with a matching 16 bytes from that base58 string
But how do I use them?
Is this aes-128? so the 16 bytes is a encrypted seed?
Or do I have to join then togheter to get a 26 bytes raw private key
It’s from the time before WIF
thanks
