Importing the decrypted key to Mooncoin QT
Backup your Mooncoin QT Wallet – Before you do anything, make a backup of your Mooncoin QT wallet.
Launch Mooncoin QT: Launch your Mooncoin-QT client in Offline Mode. This is more secure to import private keys. When the Mooncoin QT client is up, go to Help >> Debug window from the menu bar and then click on “Console ”.
Unlock your QT wallet if you encrypted it: If your wallet is encrypted you will need to unlock it first. If your Mooncoin QT wallet is not encrypted, just skip this step. To unlock your wallet, run the following command without quotes, where 600 stands for the seconds your wallet is unlocked.
wallet passphrase MYPASSWORD 600
Import the private key: Now import your private key using following command without quotes
Importprivkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ‘label’ (if used label)
Be Patient: Now just wait…three to six minutes while your private key is being imported to Mooncoin QT. Its possible Mooncoin QT may freeze up, if so just leave it 15 minutes and close it. Load Mooncoin QT up and you should see your newly imported address in the address book.

(windows)
- Locate your shortcut to Mooncoin-QT
- Make a copy and rename it to something like "Mooncoin rescan"
- Right click and behind the string in 'Target' add '-rescan'
In my case it looked like this:0
"C:\Program Files\Mooncoin\mooncoin-qt.exe" -rescan
- Close Mooncoin-QT if you have not already done so
- Start up Mooncoin via the "Mooncoin rescan" shortcut and wait until the blockchain has been rescanned.
