I am trying to import a private key into Bitcoin-QT 0.9.1.

In console I did the following:

Code:
walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" 600
importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey>

In receiving addresses, my address shows now that it imported. However, my wallet balance does not include this newly added bitcoin address. It is fully synced at the latest block. If I go to blockchain.info and view the address, it shows bitcoin in it. It just will not show in Bitcoin-QT. I have tried to close the wallet and re-open it, and it is still not showing the balance.

Any suggestions?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Awesome, that worked! Took about 10 minutes before it finally opened, but it's good to go now. Thanks!
