Hello,
 I just looked in my blockchain.info account and exported my keys in wif and base58 formats and my base58 key does not start with "5" as it should, but with 7.
Is not it an error of blockchain, that they generated me a bad private key?

Thanks

are you sure you are exporting "private keys" because i can not find any option on blockchain.info that allows you to export private keys. please share the steps you took to export them.

these are the things you can export/backup/...
1. your wallet ID which looks like ########-####-####-####-############
this used for logging in
2. wallet recover phrase which is 12 English words, which can be used to recover the wallet and all its private keys
3. Extended Public Key it starts with xpub####..... and it is long and used to recover public keys.

there is no option to get a private key out!
