HELP NEEDED

I have generated a bunch of BIP38 encrypted addresses with the tab "BULK WALLET" of bitaddress html under the same password on the machine that is not connected to the internet. Then I transferred some coins on the first 3 of them to run a test of sweeping them into electrum wallet.

I have decrypted all 3 wallets and used Private Keys (WIF51 characters base58, starts with a '5') to sweep them into Electrum. The first one swept well, but then the others would not sweep. Electrum says that they are empty. I tried importing them into blockchain.info wallet but it also says that they are empty.

When I check public address it shows that the wallet contains bitcoins
https://blockchain.info/address/19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz

This same public address is displayed on "Wallet Details" tab in bitaddress.org when I decrypt private key.

PRIVATE ADRESS: 6PnSSP9UiDEjFfRW2R2hsu9Wuk4xviMdsitF1vVahTdK2vRoCQfvFesjih
PASSWORD: 3,452s.Km;x%D7I(K)
I don't care if the coins will be moved away, but I really need to figure out how to get access to my wallet.

Can anyone help please?


Someone already took the money : )

In your particular case, 19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz is compressed public address and
corresponds to private key that starts with letter 'K'.

Public:  19DpkXMi4oTfayjxfDSuz3uHUrsX387Twz
Private: KyGL7TrNFjVNTNGLvdzNKjBMsKZisY5nuE8CHpuurKEo2NesaEAz

If you used private key (to sweep the balance) that starts with '5' you should've sent your coins to uncompressed public address.

Public:  1EUmf7nk6XSxZcVabxegWmhs6L7cGrFUC2
Private: 5JHAKELLmaBxcRkoeys9ujBWCQEkvbEKZDweT1tQkoGp8c91UBE

I have extracted both addresses from your BIP38 encrypted 6PnSSP9UiDEjFfRW2R2hsu9Wuk4xviMdsitF1vVahTdK2vRoCQfvFesjih
private key with given passphrase.

Pay attention to compressed and uncompressed addresses and to corresponding private keys.
