Hi,

 Really need anybodies help here. I created 4 paper wallets from bitaddress.org.

I saved the webpage so it was offline.

I then loaded the webpage up in a offline machine, proceeded to generate 4 wallets and transferred  funds to the wallets.

However I can't get into the wallets now, it seems the keys don't match the addresses.

Is there anything I can do?

I generated another wallet this time online from the webpage, and checked it by sending £2 approximately in BTC to it, it worked and I was able to get the £2 back out of the wallet as expected.   

I then tried the same thing use £2 on the saved webpage version of Bitaddress.org and the private key does not match the address it was sent to, which leaves me to believe there is a bug in it's generation.

Is there anything can be done? I had 2 bitcoins in total sent to these generated wallets I know can't access.

Thanks,

Nick
