this did not happend due to uncompressed/compressed key fuckup .. did it?
@iHashFury, download the brainwallet.org webpage (link is on the page in the lower right corner)
disconnect from inet, open up the brainwallet.org page from localhost
click "private key" and paste your private key, press the "uncompressed" or "compressed" button, whichever is inactive,
the private key changes. take that new private key and import it into the bitcoinwallet of your choice
