Yes, I do see the balance.
I emailed the key to myself, so technically, its very risky I'm guessing, since i just added the key to mycelium, and just like that, i got a balance.
I eventually found what looked like a "key" which I had emailed to myself - a string of numbers and letters. I didnt write anything else, just this string of numbers and letters.
I have mycoleum with "Bitcoin HD" account. I decided to enter this string of numbers and letters. I can't remember exactly how i did this to be honest, i think it was trying to import this key.
Before concluding that you have the balance, click the "
SEND" button in Mycelium's 'Balance' tab while the "
SA Account" in 'Accounts' tab is selected.
Because you can create a
watch-only SA account if you've pasted a bitcoin address instead of the private key (
and it'll not be labeled as watch-only).
And since private keys and bitcoin addresses both consist of "
numbers & letters", the one in the email could also be an address.
To clear the doubt, try to click "
send", if it continues instead of a long watch-only note, then it's spendable.
Well I'm stuffed then. it says i need to import the corresponding private key. I don't have it.
Ah well, easy come, easy go.
Damn, this bitcoin stuff is incredibly complicated.
Not the news I was hoping for, but thank you anyway.
