Title: Importing key into QWallet
Post by: Fizpok on November 19, 2014, 12:25:31 PM
Hi,

Here is what I tried:

1. using pywallet, generate a private key. This part worked fine.
2. Importing into another wallet. I open  an existing wallet in pywallet and perform Import.
3. Open that wallet in QWallet.

I expect to see that key (its public address) in a list of my addresses, available for incoming transactions. Instead, I see it as an address for outgoing transactions.

The task I was trying to solve: generate a key (I used brainwallet) and import it in an existing QWallet's wallet.

How to do it?
Thank you.
