Title: help to import keys
Post by: Shrek on August 12, 2014, 04:37:24 am
Hello, i
I have managed to get the wallet running and synced, as far as i can tell all is good, i am trying to add my private keys, from https://blockchain.info/wallet, there are several options as to the format to export. eg Base58, bitcoin qt, Base64, hex. then there is encrypted or unencrypted, then i am presented with a text file.

   
 anyway i have  entered the key beside my address in the add key option in the wallet, it said succesful, but i still have a 0 balance, can some one, shed some light for me , I am not a coder and have a very limited knowledge of this sort of thing.
Regards Dan

Its not wise to post your encrypted privkey as you just did .. I advice you to remove the quote in your post immediatelly.

To you question: the btsx wallets expects a WIF formated privkey which is basically the bitcoin-q output format

Thankyou for the reply,
 Ok so i need to wait for a different wallet to be released?  I am so lost, I was under the understanding that, i donated back in march, an once the countdown was completed i would receive an allocation of btsx, by adding my private keys to the btsx wallet? 
 I have been running the btsx wallet, but i guess that is not correct? So what do i need to do ?

Since this is bleeding edge, rapidly evolving technology, you should probably spend at least a little bit of time on the forum every day in order to stay informed.
