I am trying to restore my wallet using the master key. The first wallet I had (back in July) I transferred a balance from bter. That wallet kept crashing but I managed to dumpprivkey (or whatever the command) and made a copy of the "master" wallet key. Then in September, I deleted the old wallet and installed the latest version, and was able to restore my balance by typing the key into the "import WIF Private Key" on the GUI. I didn't move the balance, but I did add additional funds to the account name from bter. A couple days ago, I decided to wipe my hard drive and re install windows, and install the newest version of BTSX. It is fully synched, but when I try to import the key using "import WIF Private key", I get the message "Error parsing WIF private key"
