I accidentally sent my MEW private key instead of wallet address to this Google Docs Airdrop. Is it possible to replace that private key? Thanks a lot!

Is it a public google docs? if yes i think your coins from your MEW are not safe if ever you are holding your ethereum there better to transfer to a new ethereum wallet all of your coins just to be safe.. And i think you can replace or change it if you can see option to edit you can replace it check the docs in file option if there is edit option.. But is suggest to not use the private key or ethereum wallet before because its not really safe..

There is already a warning when filling out a form to not send a wallet key, Do not be in a hurry when filling out the form should be more thorough so that the key of our wallet is safe Should make a new wallet, and if you have a coin immediately move to the latest wallet

to change prive key you need to make new accound and move your all assets to new address. You can not just change private key in krypto.

I actually copy-pasted the Private Key in my notepad instead of the address.

A private key is always linked to a certain address. It is impossible to keep the same address, and in the meantime change the private key. The only way to be sure that you are safe is to change to a new address. It might not be that easy, but it is the only way to be sure that your funds are not stolen by anyone else.

as i know a private key is immutable so please keep it secret! if somebody already know it, you can sent all your ethereum and tokens inside to the new wallet address, and do not use thats address anymore,,

AFAIK it's only 1 private key for 1 address, make a new one to get your new private key for new eth address.
if you joined airdrop, first talk with the manager of the campaign that you made a bad mistake, and if he can't change your address then you should transfer all your coin after the airdop/bounty sent ASAP.

Private should not be up for discussion. Before you embark on anything in life you must learn what those things entails. You are writing about changing your private. How on earth could that be possible?

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change your private key. However, create a new MEW wallet and save those private keys. THEN move every single ethereum and all tokens you have acquired from that wallet and move it to your new wallet. That should take the ease off of someone trying to steal your coins and tokens.

its very impossible to change the private key, for now, you can contact the team from the airdrop that you load your private key in, but before that, you should transfer all your assset to another ethereum wallet

I think you have no choice, you have to move your wallet and create a new wallet ,, all for our convenience and security, never give your private key

in my opinion, create a new MEW wallet, because it is very risky for you if you keep using your MEW wallet

Create a new wallet, Send your coins there. Do it quick. Exposing your Etherium key allows someone to steal your Etherium and any Tokens associated with that address.

A private key is a digital signature, that cannot be changed. So if you sent it to any person, or posted it on any site, you should move your tokens and ETH immediately to a new wallet. Don't wait, they are at risk.
