Title: Discovered bug when importing private key Post by: manuel on December 09, 2013, 10:48:13 AM It doesn't seem to effect the functionality but it's weird. I duplicated it on two different computers running OS X 10.9 and v0.8.5-beta.
When using the importprivkey command when the command completes the success message is blank, there is just an icon with a blank line. After completion the key you just imported shows up in your address book (i.e. like an outgoing address) instead of under receive as incoming address. The coins still show up in your balance but the address is on the wrong screen. When you restart the program this corrects itself.

Don't get me wrong it works fine. I get the balance on the key and I can send and receive no problem. The issue is that: 1.) THe response in the console that I assume should probably say "Success" or something is blank. 2.) The public address appears in the address book instead of my receiving addresses until a restart of bitcoin. Then it moves over where it belongs and everything works as normal. |
