Hi,
I just wanted to import an encrypted privatekey in my Litecoin core app.
First I have to decrypt my present wallet. Done.
Then I type importprivkey ....
into the console.
Then I get an error: Invalid private key encoding (code -5).

How do I decrypt my private keys in Litecoin Core?

What is your present wallet ? Maybe if this is some sort of special wallet such as BreadWallet (I do not know if they support Litecoin though), they use a special private key format, not compatible with other wallets.

The present wallet was created with Litecoin Core.
The privatekeys I want to import are from liteaddress.org with BIP38 encryption.
