When you 'generate' a Note on the website the private key you are getting is a normal Bitcoin private key. It starts with 'ww-' so it's easier to distinguish from other bitcoin private keys you have in case you save them in the same place.

The Note Public Address is in fact the Legacy Bitcoin address corresponding to the private key you saved, the only difference is that every '1' is changed to 'ww' so again, you can easily distinguish a Whirlwind Note from a Bitcoin address.

Example:
ww-L4xK361wZYYxJg7vSwXgDTVBVXY4JfgYrUU5QZic2nNB9PUbMzbt - Note Private Key
ww8Sf8x3GBUiTxg55RQEzynf2Cdyy7F1ihh - Note Public Address

L4xK361wZYYxJg7vSwXgDTVBVXY4JfgYrUU5QZic2nNB9PUbMzbt - Bitcoin Private Key
18Sf8x3GBUiTxg55RQEzynf2Cdyy7F1ihh - Legacy Bitcoin address

I've just created the note (and saved) however the deposit address starts with bc1 rather than ww- , Is this correct?



Maybe I'm just doing something dumb but doesn't seem right based on description. Have doubled checked onion link.
