Title: looking to hire consultant to solve failure of private key import Post by: cspeter8 on December 06, 2013, 11:52:35 AM I have created a number of paper wallets on bitaddress.org. I tested a few and they worked.
I created 2 bitaddress.org wallets for friends and funded these wallets for them. When I tried to import the private keys, I encountered a failure to import the key on both electrum 1.9.5 using windows 7 and windows 8, and also a blockchain.info online wallet. I know there is not a transcription error because I scanned the qr code to get the string and pasted that string. Please respond by private message to apply. I need to understand the cause of failure of these imports. thanks Title: Re: looking to hire consultant to solve failure of private key import Post by: escrow.ms on December 06, 2013, 11:56:50 AM Did you tried to do it on some other client like bitcoin QT or armory?
or try mobile based wallets. Ps: Don't give/show your privatekey or QR code etc to anyone. Title: Re: looking to hire consultant to solve failure of private key import Post by: HFPowerful on December 06, 2013, 04:20:14 PM First of all, do not give your key to anyone, nor the QR code. Second of all, have you tried using a different client? You could also try using a different client?

Looks like a bug exists with electrum 1.9.5 that is not present in 1.9.2. Investigation is under way.
Title: Re: looking to hire consultant to solve failure of private key import Post by: lophie on December 07, 2013, 02:08:08 AM I know that bug..... I think your qr generator appended empty space at the end (Empty space that you cant actually see or delete, just a bunch of 000000 in binary), Blockchain.info reparsed the string and it went smoothly
Title: Re: looking to hire consultant to solve failure of private key import Post by: cspeter8 on December 07, 2013, 03:54:08 AM Correction: Martijnvdc was unable to replicate the error with importing this particular private key after trying in both electrum 1.9.2 nor in 1.9.5. However I had the error with both windows 7 and windows 8. He was running electrum on linux.
Once in the blockchain.info wallet, I moved the balance out, to possibly make the private key available in a bug report. I have another private key that does the same thing, if anyone else is interested in playing around with it. |
