Hi,
I need a little assistance.
I exported my private key from my multibit wallet, but could not work out how to import into Myceluim. I assumed I could import the key file, but there was no file import option. So I copied the content of the key file to the clipboard, but the 'read from clipboard' option was greyed out.
I then scanned the QR code from multibit which worked, so now I can see the balance in Mycelium, but it does not contain the private key.
How can I import the private key?
Thanks
Andy
You probably scanned the bitcoin address from multibit and got a read-only account in Mycelium. To be able to spend you need the private key.
If you have the private key on SPIA format you can import it from the clipboard as a text string, but you must be aware that any app on your phone can potentially get to it while on the clipboard. In general I don't think it is a good idea to share private keys among wallets. IMO it is better to let the wallets protect and spend from their own private keys. The more computing environments you expose a private key to the more you are exposed to theft or loss.
(Mycelium does not support importing multibit backups)
