From bitcoin-qt use Help -> Debug Window then click on the Console tab where you can issue the "importprivkey" command (if your wallet has been encrypted you'll need to *unlock* it first). BTW - did you solo mine that 50 BTC back in 2009? |

Really? You have generated the private Key to this address? Don't forget to post if this actually works. Also Post if it doesn't. I'm curious. Just how likely is it to generate an existing address? I thought it was next to impossible. |

Was this a brainwallet based upon a passphrase? |

Don't do it, it's stealing In fact it would in all likelihood be stealing from Satoshi himself (which could be considered sacrilege around this forum). |

Stephen already explained how can you import the private key a few posts earlier. There is no such thing as a bug on bitaddress. You could have found an address collision or simply mined the coins yourself in 2009, I find the later more credible. |

Maybe both the owner of this address (afaik it could be one of the few people with whom Satoshi conversed about bitcoin in 2009) used a similar method with a predictable output to generate an address as ssbtoday with bitaddress: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/blob/master/bitaddress.org.htmlThis would also mean that other people who used bitaddress at some point (not sure if all versions would be affected and if it is a randomness issue). For now, I refuse to believe a collision occured until OP proves he has access to the coins. |

It's more likely there was a 'collision' in the pseudo-random number generation that bitaddress.org relies on than and actual address collision. I would guess 1,000,000's of times more likely. That may even be considered a bug. I modify every generated private key by hand to guard against such issues. |

Some day, you'll lose your private keys. Some random exploit, virus, perhaps somebody ripping you off; whatever the case, you'll come back to this forum demanding justice and doing everything you can to find the robber, completely outraged. How dare they stealing my coins you'll think. When that happens, I'll link you to this thread and remind you how you once were the robber who stole 50 BTC. Have a good day  |
