I have some cold storage paper wallets that i was looking to import there but with all the problems i am leary about this. I have a new computer so am just downloading the newest bitcoin QT however need help please to import my private keys from the paper wallet one the core has fully loaded . Is this possible?
I see all your instructions above but am really not very tech savy , could you give me a little more detail to this please. thanks
If you have BIP38 encryption on your paper wallet with a passphrase, you'll have to go to Bitaddress or something similar for it to be decrypted into something starting with either 5, K or L. After which, you can import the private keys.

I recommending downloading the source code from here: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/releases. Choose the source code zip and extract it. You should see a html file and run it with your internet connection turned off.

thanks

4. Open console and dump priv key for that address

How are you exporting the private key? Did you run dumpprivkey YOUR_ADDRESS?

Can you try creating a new Bitcoin Core wallet, and then importing that private key into the new wallet using importprivkey, and see if the new wallet shows a different address?

Alternatively it's possible that in Electrum you pasted the private key without putting p2wpkh: in front of it. If you don't do that then you might generate an address starting with a "1" or "3" instead of native segwit's bc1.

Hi All.
Since yesterday I have serious problem to access on blockchain.com account. When I tried to login, I didn't got any authorization email. I've tried several times. Nothing. All the emails arrived exactly 1 hour later my request. Today I tried again, but no authorization email arrived.

I've already wrote to the support team (but they are very slow). Also used my backup phrases to restore my account using a new email. On the new address I receive email without problem. The bad thing is that the major btc I have on blockchain.com are on the interest balance and this amount was not recovered with the backup.

Someone has similar experience? What I can do?




All day i have had the same issure, i have not been recieve verification mail. One of my wallets is doing crazy things where only the balance is flashing , got in on this one once. I want upload from cold storage but with all these issues going on im worried. Tried to send btc earlier and due to email issue would go through even through the miners verified it. Doe s anyone know if i can up load from cold storage straight to Bitcoin .QT and avoid Blockchain.com for now? Thanks
