I have created a number of paper wallets on bitaddress.org.  I tested a few and they worked.
I created 2 bitaddress.org wallets for friends and funded these wallets for them. 

When I tried to import the private keys, I encountered a failure to import the key on both electrum 1.9.5 using windows 7 and windows 8, and also a blockchain.info online wallet.

I know there is not a transcription error because I scanned the qr code to get the string and pasted that string.

Please respond by private message to apply.  I need to understand the cause of failure of these imports.

thanks

Did you tried to do it on some other client like bitcoin QT or armory?

or try mobile based wallets.

Ps: Don't give/show your privatekey or QR code etc to anyone.

First of all, do not give your key to anyone, nor the QR code. Second of all, have you tried using a different client? You could also try using a different client?

member Martijnvdc coached me to getting it to work with blockchain.info online wallet.  Looks like a bug exists with electrum 1.9.5 that is not present in 1.9.2.  Investigation is under way.

I know that bug..... I think your qr generator appended empty space at the end (Empty space that you cant actually see or delete, just a bunch of 000000 in binary), Blockchain.info reparsed the string and it went smoothly

Will take me a while to climb up again, But where is a will, there is a way...

Correction: Martijnvdc  was unable to replicate the error with importing this particular private key after trying in both electrum 1.9.2 nor in 1.9.5.  However I had the error with both windows 7 and windows 8.  He was running electrum on linux.

Once in the blockchain.info wallet, I moved the balance out, to possibly make the private key available in a bug report.

I have another private key that does the same thing, if anyone else is interested in playing around with it.
