I've been learning how to create paper wallets, and have been trying to use the "Redeem private key" function on MtGox.

The problem I'm having is that despite the fact that MtGox accepts the private key, it doesn't actually move the funds to my MtGox account. The BTC stays on the paper wallet. Is there a second step to this procedure that I am missing?

Thanks in advance for any help

How long did you wait? It might take some time before MtGox moves the Bitcoins to address only they have the private key for

About a day. Shouldn't it be instant? Or at least the movement from funds from the paper wallet? Otherwise I can just move them myself.

How big is the transaction? Maybe it's too small to be worth moving?

One satoshi. Too small?
