On the blockchain I see 2 formats

1. Base58
2. WIF

By 1 format, it says that it is not for this key
2 format just do not right

On my wallet I have 9000 Satoshi. Maybe that's why?



I believe Bitcoin "dust" starts at 10k satoshi.  That's probably why.


Hi.

Why can not I sell my address?
Writes Invalid Bitcoin private key.
I enter the correct key.


The address must be completely empty?



What is the address you are trying to dig?

Let me verify that it actually has CLAMS first and then we will see about private key format.  Do you maybe have a password on your wallet?


This address - 12ne4dJkrGY6rLLnuurweCKocKSLtLipeE

That's a valid address for sure.

Perhaps try digging the entire .dat automatically.  This will also harvest CLAMS that you were unaware of hidden in change-addresses.

How do I create a backup copy of my wallet for my blockchain?

That address (12ne4dJkrGY6rLLnuurweCKocKSLtLipeE) can be dug. It sounds like you are using blockchain.info wallet? I don't know if they support exporting your entire wallet in the format we currently require. If FreeBitcoins.com says "The supplied key is not for the supplied address." then the private key you entered does not go to the address you are digging.

Based on that address's history, it appears to be an "uncompressed" public key. This means your private key should start with "5". If your private key starts with "K" or "L", that is incorrect.

On blockchain.info to this address I have only 2 secret keys.

format Base58 - MoL4zV1Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

format WIF - KwQ4uDR7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Apparently this is a problem with blockchain.info wallets. You can get the right WIF using bitaddress.org. Here's an example I made using a key I just generated. Put your key (KwQ4uDR7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) in and it will give you the WIF key that should work. I highlighted the key that you should use in the screenshot below:



Kef,  Could we possibly have our scanner scan both ways automatically for Blockchain users?

1.  Address has clams

2.  So customer puts in private key

3. Address private key fails 

4. We assume this is a blockchain address, so scan the "right" WIF priv key for them using the information given.

5..  Success or failed dig.
