Title: bitcoin core imp private key problems Post by: PONCHOELRUDO on August 18, 2019, 06:59:23 PM can I import private keys to a bitcoin core wallet from which once I already exported
Title: Re: bitcoin core imp private key problems Post by: bL4nkcode on August 18, 2019, 07:08:30 PM Yes, It will work apparently. You can visit this thread on stackexchange - How do I import a private key into Bitcoin-Core? (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5941/how-do-i-import-a-private-key-into-bitcoin-core) not unless if the new version 0.18.1 does not able to do that which I think is not a problem. Tho someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If your bitcoin core wallet have walletpassphrase/password you need to enter this command line below Code: walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" 600 Sample: Code: walletpassphrase mypassword123 600 After you do this import your private key using this command line below. Code: importprivkey "YourPrivateKey" "mylabel" Sample: Code: importprivkey 5HriQ9XMNhb5mr8Pu19FpQCTMuBYjSF6KG4z3kidaUXiZiEAoL1 Mynewwallet Now you should see the bitcoin address under receiving addresses.

after you've done importprivkey, do addwitnessaddress on the imported legacy address try it and see if it does the job and shows the segwit address you want to import note: there was a discussion about issue on using addwitnessaddress, but I can't remember what it was Title: Re: bitcoin core imp private key problems Post by: achow101 on August 19, 2019, 12:53:30 AM OP are you trying to import segwit address? you need to use addwitnessaddress addwitnessaddress is no longer an available RPC. Segwit addresses for a private key will automatically be tracked.after you've done importprivkey, do addwitnessaddress on the imported legacy address try it and see if it does the job and shows the segwit address you want to import note: there was a discussion about issue on using addwitnessaddress, but I can't remember what it was Title: Re: bitcoin core imp private key problems Post by: nc50lc on August 19, 2019, 03:08:03 AM can I import private keys to a bitcoin core wallet from which once I already exported The question is quite vague, but this is what I get:You're trying to re-import a private key to the same Bitcoin Core wallet where it was exported. If that's the case, it wont work (nothing will happen) since that private key is still in that wallet. Exporting a prv key won't delete the private key from your wallet. If not, just carefully follow their guides (above replies).

Can you explain what you previously did and in which situation you currently are ? Because, as nc50lc already mentioned, private keys are not deleted when being exported. Why do you need to import it again into the same wallet ? If you have an issue, feel free to describe it as precisely as you can. This makes it much easier for us to identify the cause and to solve it. |
