Title: Privet key contains no funds? [solved] Post by: chris200x9 on February 20, 2013, 05:14:03 PM I bought a few casascius coins and the public key checks out put when I enter the private key into armory it says looks like this block contains no funds.

Thankfully Casascius is that guy. I have seen a half dozen threads like this and they all ended up being typos. It is pretty easy to do since the writing is very small. A good magnifying glass helps. It would be nice if clients and websites stated "this is an invalid private key" as opposed to incorrectly stating the "balance/value is zero". There is a reason for the SHA256 check (ignored by AFAIK every website and client). Title: Re: Privet key contains no funds?
