I have just been on the Verge website. I typed in my key and pressed validate and nothing happened. If I change the first letter to my key to a 5 it says it is not a valid Verge Key. After this i retyped my original key in again and clicked validate and again nothing happens. No loading, nothing stating my key is wrong it just does nothing.
Hey mate! Don't change your keys to 5 or something similar. Let it be 6 and the 51 char key. Type the 51 char key with 6K as start chars. What do you mean by nothing happens? If we type a wrong key we receive the following message,
The text you entered does not appear to be a private Verge key.
Did you receive the message?
For example I generate a private key for reference : 6JtSC8N5t2rGNx3aCkYoAg34xeTr5iHGGS9hzg3Lk6ZWJ3EJB6L
Private key WIF compressed : QRx2C7W4YFASssxMYsDLmhJ8UcMVdoCnP81RwZKL9DYUJ7uvvgeJ
Copy this and paste in the code, and you might get access to your wallet only if the keys are right!
What i meant by nothing happens is when I type in my key and press the button to validate nothing happens..no message, nothing what so ever happens. If I change the numbers in the key and press the button to validate it says its not a valid verge key.
I used your example above to see what would happen and nothing like that comes up when I put my key in. Nothing happens.
I kind of got used to the fact that they have gone. Pretty annoying to see them with the address tho and not being able to do anything about it. Wont be writing things down in future. I made a few paper wallets at the time and thought I was being cautious. I've swept a few after this and they have all been fine. Just glad I didn't stick more and more money into that wallet, I'll invest in some hardware asap.
Despite this thanks for all your help, very much appreciated
