Title: Invalid encoding error when importing private key in Bitcoin core Post by: tyz on November 08, 2016, 02:53:12 PM I tried to import private keys using the debug console in Bitcoin core client. I use the following command
Quote importprivkey 5K... MyNewAddress and I get the following error message Quote Invalid private key encoding (code -5) Any idea what is wrong? A google search did not give me a hint.

That is what that message means. You are probably missing a character somewhere, maybe forgot to copy one at the end.
