Title: Solved. Post by: gerXhonza on July 09, 2015, 06:31:33 AM Not 100% it should be here so if I am wrong could you please refer me to the right section please.
I was ready to put some coin in storage but before I did I wanted to test that the private key was correct and could be sent, entered the private key into blockchain.info and it worked. I then sent a small 0.1btc test and deleted the private key from blockchain.info ready to enter private key to be 100% and then send a small amount before filling the address with a chunk of coin to store. Now I enter the private key it is telling me "UNABLE TO GENERATE PRIVATE KEY" after i enter correct passphrase. Could anyone tell me why I am getting this error please? Thanks in advance.

I'm not trying to "generate it" I am trying to import it to blockchain.info but when importing it is giving me the error that the title says, first time I deleted the private key and imported all worked fine. This time it is giving me that error, the 3 other addresses I created at the same time work without problem just this one address with small amount of test coin giving me problems lol Title: Re: Unable to generate private key? Post by: gerXhonza on July 10, 2015, 04:37:31 PM Are you sure you copied the private key correctly? You can use a verification tool to verify that the private key is valid and it is in the correct format. Would that not mean it was an invalid private key if I never copied it right? It was a correct private key just not the one I needed access to haha. Thanks for help anyway guys, This thread will now be locked as problem was solved. |
