Yep. That's what I came up with. You can't get a sane private key out of it.

I think this is right, I don't know why it doesn't give the correct key though.


I was just going to post the exact same findings, except that at my end, I got the same key and it does convert to a public key.

It doesn't, it's not valid base58.
