How does the private-key look like? (length, first letter, etc...)

Did you generate the address yourself?

I tried to import keys to electrum wallet and nothing.

Did you import the private key as SegWit address?
Try entering this at the Electrum import field:

For P2SH-P2WPKH addresses (Addresses starting with "3")
Just add p2wpkh-p2sh: directly in front of your  private key.
For example

Code:

p2wpkh-p2sh:5BitcoinPrivateKey

This should generate the corresponding p2wpkh-p2sh bitcoin address.

Note: make sure you download a recent version of Electrum from electrum.org and nowhere else!

Try entering this at the Electrum import field:

Specifically... you need to use the following steps in Electrum:

- File -> New/Restore
- Give your wallet a name
- Select "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys"
- in the textbox, enter: p2wpkh-p2sh:YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_FROM_COINB.IN
- Press Next
- Enter a password if desired

Once the wallet is opened, check the "addresses" tab, (you might need to use "View -> Show Addresses") and see if it has created the "3EKwWuPu979SBfd8sVKfAdneFXMoYMPJoy" address. If it has, it might just take a few moments for Electrum to download the blockchain headers and sync.

Check that the coloured dot in the bottom right corner is either "Blue Arrows" (syncing) or a "Green dot" (connected/synced)... if it is a "Red dot" then you are not connected to a server and it can't sync.

Maybe he was planning on rewarding HCP only for giving a little more details. His post isn't clear, he only asks someone to post the address, could be either you or HCP or both.

OP never goes online again after his last post, so maybe don't expect too much. But yes, I have a guess that he's referring to HCP as last posted before him, and its the exact thing to import a nested segwit wallet on electrum.

How come that you still use non-SegWit address for such purpose?

Compatibility I've recently added a Bech32 addy to my profile too.

I was fairly sure he meant LoyceV... After all, LoyceV posted the correct answer. All I did was expand on it a little bit.

I don't expect any reward... just trying to help out where I can




However, if bigpoppa0008 did mean me... my address would be: 33o4MoDSFrfKSznHLBzwKigpTQvMiWWsHr
