Title: Wallet importing instructions
Post by: legendface66 on July 21, 2014, 10:19:52 am

Hey ya'll, I have no idea how to get my PTS private keys, error message "Private key for address Pq1N9LqsF4aLEbbXZCUXoCNBkceEimbqJY is not known (code -4)"

Nothing happens with Armory, not even a prompt to decrypt (this is an already established bug)

When I submit my bitcoin private key I get this error "RPC Server Error: In method 'wallet_import_private_key': Assert Exception (10)"

Thoughts? Might make sense to outline all possible methods and known error messages in one thread for easy searching.

I'd try using the debug console or command promt to import the .dat files and the private_keys ..
Unfortunately, I cannot be of assistance with the web wallet as I never used it .. (hardcore terminal fan :) )

is your PTS wallet locked?

in console: walletpassphrase yourPassword #ofSecondsYouWantItUnlockedFor

try same thing in BTSX console for importing your private key.

recommend drag and drop wallet.dat's into BTSX GUI (under advanced, import)
