Title: Import Plaintext Private Key in Electrum Android App
Post by: Zangelbert Bingledack on February 12, 2013, 06:06:54 AM
I have a use case (old, air-gapped phone.) where it'd be very helpful if I could do this, but the app isn't letting me just paste in a private key. Is there some trick to it? Incidentally, I couldn't do this in the Windows version either (I think it asked for a password).

In the Windows version if it asks for a password that's because you entered it in the creation process to encrypt your wallet.
