STOP

DO NOT enter your Bitcoin private keys to any type of website, ever.

There is no need to enter any private key. At best, this site is incompetently designed, at worst, a scam to steal your BTC

STOP

What if I already did it? Shall I take it as my current address 19RidcN96xgXkWi8gDwxcmbjjdjfrxpxvv's privkey has been compromised? Should I still use that address or change it to another one? As well, if that's not the site I should be using, please take me to something that's trustworthy and could get me a SegWit address. I use GreenAddress and GreenBits apps, they've currently given me with addresses starting with a '3'. Are these addresses just for one time use or can I use them normally just like I use my Legacy address? As I won't be holding private key of such address, is it safe to keep my funds there?
