Title: Redeeming aussiebtc coin problem - private key isnt working (private key inside)
Post by: TheBitcoinBadger on December 26, 2017, 03:41:02 PM
So i have an "aussiebtc coin" laying around and wanted to test if i can redeem my bitcoin after i sent some to be public address (qr code on the front).

after i peeled of the sticker i added the private key into several apps (like samourai) but all the wallets say:

"cannot recognize private key"

feel free to rob me but please explain my mistake :-) ! (@mods: it is okay ! :D )

Hi their

Thanks for your message. I’m more then willing to help and get this sorted out. Have u tried blockchain.info?
Thats the site I recommend it makes it quiet easy to import private key and extract btc to a new wallet.
Their are plenty of tutorials online how to do that. Otherwise when I get back to my computers tonight I’m more then happy to send u a step by step guide.
Also for your interest I can’t rob you as I don’t have your private key.
Cheers

Jono

Hi aussiebtc,

thx for coming back to me.

i just tried blockchain.info but it says that the private and public key does not match.

i uploaded a picture in my post above, there you can see the private key and the public key (feel free to rob me as i said).


so where is the mistake that i make or did you make one when you produced the coins?



thx

--------------------------

problem solved: i now used mycelium but did exactly the same what i did on my first try. so it worked with mycelium.

thanks for your help anyway!

cheers.
