For this code as i have left #should be ' ' blank should i addin my corrupt key with a random letter at the end to add it up to 52 characters?
# Provide a WIF private key with a single missing character.
# Wrong Char             
corrupted_wif = 'KykLRngWxXA8RkznbcQ5UzJbD2QfABiR9E6yVGvigHo2WrwBeGm'
Yes, you need to put the WIF that you have... even if it is missing a char, just put it in... the script will automatically test all character positions for all valid combinations of missing characters and output the correct one.
