Used Brainwallet.org to convert the compressed private key to an uncompressed private key.
why do you trust this website? do you have any reason to believe they did not steal your coins?
A private key is private, and it should remain private.
It's client-side javascript. Just to be safe, I disconnected my internet before using the script, then closed the browser.
I would have preferred to not use any tool whatsoever. There's only .01 BTC in the wallet, so it's no big deal. I'm just experimenting.
I would not have used Brainwallet if I could figure out how to import a private key dumped from the Satoshi client into Electrum. Any idea how to accomplish this? Electrum does not appear to like the compressed output of Satoshi.
