Title: Strange wallet issue Post by: Tomdraug on December 19, 2013, 09:46:36 PM Hi!!
I have a bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 and some small amount of bitcoins in it When I try to send them to other address I get a failed transaction I verified my addresses with listunspent but there is nothing strange So, I tried to see private keys and ups: Private key for address 1drau5TSfhkJF4Lo8xdTidwVMFX8HdKp7 is not known (code -4) I know that I have generated this vanity address and imported the private key to bitcoint-qt I see the transactions and amount of bitcoins is correct Can you help? Cheers, Tom Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: U1TRA_L0RD on December 19, 2013, 11:49:13 PM Thats weird, can you back up the wallet, delete the program and reinstall it, and restore your keys?
Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: cp1 on December 19, 2013, 11:50:42 PM That is odd, I would backup the wallet and just sweep the private key from my paper backup.

Thanks for replies I restored wallet from three different backups but it is still the same :( How can bitcoin-qt see the money without private key? Cheers, Tom Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: cp1 on December 20, 2013, 04:52:07 PM It really just needs the address. But, just use your paper backup and a new instance of bitcoin-qt and sweep the funds to another address.

Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: Tomdraug on December 21, 2013, 02:00:36 PM Ok, so my blockchain loads from scratch
I tried to sign messages - all addresses are ok and sign, only drau address says Private key for entered address is not available :( The BTC is visible, but not confirmed I will check again when blockchain loads Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: Tomdraug on December 21, 2013, 04:32:38 PM It really just needs the address.

Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: BookLover on December 21, 2013, 11:45:26 PM Yes ;)
Title: Re: Strange wallet issue Post by: Tomdraug on December 21, 2013, 11:58:05 PM Yes ;) Ok, thanks. I mean sure, every public address is enough to see bit coins but how come the drau address found its way to my wallet's receiving addresses? I imported a vanity private key to wallet. So, where is the private key? Other addresses, also some of them vanity, there are ok Baffling.... One good thing there is not too much money there couple dollars So, the blockchain is refreshed now - no change in status :( I wonder what is the reason - could I accidentally deleted private key? I used pywallet... maybe then Cheers, Tom |
