You can convert your Segwit P2SH address (start with 3) into a legacy address.but this process is dangerous because you can not know that the address starting with 1 uses a compressed or uncompressed public key(also you sign using pvtkey) so it’s better to import it into a wallet that supports Segwit.

1. Download electrum.org
2. Follow https://support.btcprivate.org/403137-Bitcoin-Private-Electrum-Wallet---How-to-sweepimport-Private-Key

I recommend you to transfer your coins from blockchain/.info into electrum https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/66614


Thanks. That taught me a few things NOT to do, but I'm stuck getting a "No Input" error. Took screenshots of the process and as you may notice, I can see the old wallet in Electrum as 'Watch Only' just as I could on Blockchain. Not sure if that means anything or anything can be done with that. Thanks again for any help.





Coin is still going into this wallet because I'm that stupid so again, thanks for the help.

I know it's pittance but I have a few bucks in a wallet. I made the mistake of using Bitcoin Core as the wallet and not waiting for it to update before mining....  obviously I don't want to wait a year to withdraw the money.

I'm assuming I'm grabbing the wrong key from debug, otherwise clueless as to what the issue is. Took some screenshots, hoping for some help. The key, although blacked out, is the same gotten from dumpprivkey that's being rejected from Blockchain's website.





Thanks for any help or suggestions. Will try anything.
