Hi All.

I just trying open paperwallet in desktop wallet on Mac. But I have error: Invalid private key encoding (code -5)

I have tried exact example from this thread, but it is the same error.

importprivkey 6RADQpd6fn1pXEy3cYBUVRqHauZeKaqn258r4geRGHRvyAa7PGE paperwallet1

Do you have any thought on reason of error?

Thanks

Hi All again. Could somebody help me with the qestion above? It is strange that no any support of owners of paperwallets. I belive that somebody know exact way how to get me Emercoins from paperwallet.

Thanks

I just got this answer... Apparently you can use the "reencodeoldprivkey" debug command, specially added in version 0.5.x

e.g

reencodeoldprivkey 6RADQpd6fn1pXEy3cYBUVRqHauZeKaqn258r4geRGHRvyAa7PGE

It should return the same key to you, but in the format that is suitable for 0.5.x and higher.

Then you use importprivkey as usual.

Thank you!!! You are really help me. It works and I have got access to my coins.

It is strange that reencodeoldprivkey command is absent in console help info.
