issue with paper wallet private key starting with an “n"

[creator23099]

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue with a paper wallet I generated on BitAddress.org several years ago, and I’m hoping to get some insight or guidance. Here’s the situation:

•	I generated this paper wallet on BitAddress.org.
•	I’m able to see the wallet and its coin balance when I enter the public key on Blockchain.com.
•	When I try to access the funds by entering the private key into BitAddress.org, I get an error message saying:

"The text you entered is not a valid Private Key!
Would you like to use the entered text as a passphrase and create a Private Key using a SHA256 hash of the passphrase?
Warning: Choosing a strong passphrase is important to avoid brute force attempts to guess your passphrase and steal your bitcoins.”

•	The private key might have BIP38 encryption, but when I try to decrypt it on BitAddress.org, the key format doesn’t seem to be recognized.
•	I’ve also noticed that the private key starts with an “n”, which is unusual for a standard private key format. From what I understand, private keys typically start with “5,” “K,” “L,” or, in the case of BIP38-encrypted keys, “6P.”

I’ve done some research, but I’m struggling to find a solution. If anyone has insights on this issue or can provide a way to access the funds, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Additional Info:

•	I am open to paying a bounty if the solution results in access to my wallet.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice!
