It worked on test paper wallets. I need to check if it works with all my other 200 wallets.
Meanwhile the thread is closed. I will contact contributors a bit later to arrange rewards.

Not sure we helped greatly but glad you've sorted it. Drop me an address and I can send you that 0.004614 I swept from your original post. Smiley

You did! I panicked  Tongue when my original method that worked in the beginning didn't perform on other wallets (importing Private Keys WIF51 characters base58, starts with a '5') so the stress blurred my mind and I couldn't think straight, it didn't occur to me to use WIF compressed keys, and the only wallets that import I had were blockchain.info and electrum, that didn't work for either of them.

I know I started this thread offering 1BTC to whoever finds a step by step solution, but it was also my panic mode. I don't take my words back, but considering the solution was easy, would you agree to receive a smaller compensation, let's say 0.1 btc? I would gladly send the same amount to achow101 since his solution worked too and you guys both replied around the same time. Do you think that would be fair/unfair?
