Title: Error adding key to wallet Post by: jankrib on June 17, 2012, 08:23:34 PM Hi
I'm running bitcoin-qt version 0.6.2 on windows 7. I'm testing the JSON API. On testnet everything worked as expected, but now - on prodnet - I can't get importprivkey to work. It returns the error message: "Error adding key to wallet" for the private key: 5KBn7DJRBdzdkGEo78n5M8gULKes9FTiWYjr3Ssf3QdAZP7ACGe (Newly generated, not in bitcoin-qt) The key should be valid. I use walletpassphrase first to unlock the wallet. What am I doing wrong?

Try removeprivkey and then reimport. Title: Re: Error adding key to wallet Post by: MrVivaldi on July 05, 2012, 07:58:14 AM Do you perhaps have an encrypted wallet file?
If so then my you need to run: bitcoind walletpassphrase YourWalletPassword 2000 |
