If Karma is a bitch, then god is a woman. I ask to know, not to be screwed or hear trite excuses (after the fact) which a 3rd grader could do better on. If you give your word, keep it atleast..
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Are you perhaps importing the private key:
5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAbuatmU or KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU73Nd2Mcv1?
Because it's the uncompressed and compressed WIF format of the invalid ECDSA private key 0x00.

I got the same error when I tried to import it to Electrum:

How about 5Km2kuu7vtFDPpxywn4u3NLpbr5jKpTB3jsuDU2KYEqetwr388P or L5oLkpV3aqBjhki6LmvChTCV6odsp4SXM6FfU2Gppt5kFqRzExJJ?
Those will produce the same public keys as the private keys I listed above, and also the same error.

I haven't used MultiBit but I've heard that they've got a bug regarding generating keys outside range. (if not, it's from a different wallet)

unfortunately its a different wallet. I hardly used them myself so just a FUBAR ordeal ..

Okay, so I assume that the Multibit wallet backup is corrupted then, because you wont get that error in Electrum with any other private keys aside from the four mentioned above.
