A video that runs through how to recover damaged private keys (WIF or HEX) using BTCRecover. (Often used in paper wallets like those from bitaddress.org) This can be useful if you have a mistake in the private key (So it will have an incorrect checksum, or not be accepted when you try to sweep or import it) or if you have lost some of the characters due to damage or an error printing the paper wallet.
