Title: How to import private key to Bitcoin Core? Post by: K~Ehleyr on August 08, 2016, 06:58:00 PM I have just created myself a vanity address and I understand that I need to import the private key to my wallet. I am using Bitcoin Core v0.12.1 and have tried to do this using the console and "importprivkey" command, but after accepting the command, nothing else seems to happen. The instructions I was following said my address should now show in "Address book" but I don't have an address book tab, only Overview, Send, Receive and Transactions. I have figured out how to make a paper wallet in the meantime, so I could eventually scan the QR code with my mobile Bread wallet, but I really want to put it on my PC. Is there a way to do this? Or a better way that I'm missing?
