Hi, a few years ago I gave my little sister some doge with a paper wallet, now given the price increase she wanted to redeem them.

I had made the wallet with bitcoinpaperwallet.com and encrypted with bip38.

The problem is right here, the site does not decrypt my key (the password is correct) but continues to load without results. I also tried another site (walletgenerator.com) and it has the same problem.

I also tried to create a new wallet with bip38, and it also stays loading indefinitely without encrypting it.

Ideas?
When did you used bitcoinpaperwallet.com though?

The reason why I'm asking is that the services turns out to be a scam, when the original owner sold the website years ago (2018), help me shut down the bitcoinpaperwallet.com scam.

I created this doge wallet in the spring of 2018, but I used it again to create a bitcoin wallet in gen 2019, with the idea of ​​having my ticket to mars to be redeemed in 2029  Grin

Do you think those funds are at risk? It's 0.1 btc, wouldn't they swept it already if it was compromised?

According to the reddit post that I link above, the original owner sold it in 2018 so possible that your funds in at risk here.

So if I'm in your shoes better to move it out, just to be in the safe side. But still the final decision is yours my friend and wish you the best in your decision, 0.1 BTC is already huge at the current price.
