Did you printed the generated addresses/keys on the first  ?  Huh

 
 I would tell you to just test generating the addresses from the private Keys on a saved https://bitaddress.org/ .html offline version and look if you get the sames Sad ]

Hi yes, i created some other wallets and sent £2 to them from the offline one, same problem. I've done this method before and it has never been a problem. I can only think it must be a glitch.

A created new wallets to test straight from the website and didn't have the same problem, so must be the offline webpage I used.

Lot of emotions right now.

Share this with the community if you can, hopefully some good can come of my loss.

Hi thanks everyone.

I double checked the compressed address, basically the address that it generated as the public address(share) on the left is not anywhere in the corresponding key.

I think it has gone.

There must be a glitch in bitaddress.org when doing it offline.

I didn't know about the checking, I was told never to enter the private key online. But i guess you could do that offline.

I think it's lost.

I was investing my parents retirement money too.  Sad

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

 Really need anybodies help here. I created 4 paper wallets from bitaddress.org.

I saved the webpage so it was offline.

I then loaded the webpage up in a offline machine, proceeded to generate 4 wallets and transferred  funds to the wallets.

However I can't get into the wallets now, it seems the keys don't match the addresses.

Is there anything I can do?

I generated another wallet this time online from the webpage, and checked it by sending £2 approximately in BTC to it, it worked and I was able to get the £2 back out of the wallet as expected.   

I then tried the same thing use £2 on the saved webpage version of Bitaddress.org and the private key does not match the address it was sent to, which leaves me to believe there is a bug in it's generation.

Is there anything can be done? I had 2 bitcoins in total sent to these generated wallets I know can't access.

Thanks,

Nick
