I'm by no means a crypto expert but I've been around for a bit and understand all the basics like how paper wallets work and how to import paper wallets.So in the summer of 2016 I bought some eth from coinbase. I made a paper wallet from ethaddress.org and printed around 10 addresses with encrypted private keys. I wanted to make sure I can import my eth from my paper wallet to jaxx wallet before adding to the paper wallet. I sent a test amount to the first address. On August 9, 2016 I successfully swept that amount into Jaxx wallet. This transaction is in my Jaxx histroy and I haven't moved that eth since. Recently I wanted to move more eth into Jaxx from my paper wallet but when I paste another key from my paper wallet there is no option to put in a passphrase and instead it tells me "please enter valid eth address" essentially saying it's an invalid key. From what I recall I also tried MEW a couple years ago and I had no trouble unlocking my eth using wallet details. I recently tried MEW again and it doesn't seem to be working. By not working I mean when I paste the key and hit access wallet nothing happens, no error message or anything (unsure if this has anything to do with the new looking site). My encrypted private keys start with the letter "U" and have 128 characters if that helps.I've noticed that ethaddress.org is gone so my theory is it may have something to do with that. On my paper wallet I have this:https://ift.tt/2A4xyZZ leads me to believe the answer might be somewhere here:https://ift.tt/3dxzAjD this point it's a bit over my head. I'm not sure if I'm just over looking something or if there's a bigger issue going on. Any tips or input on this would be greatly appreciated. You guys are the only ones that can help me and I'm a bit lost where I can reach out for help other than reddit.
