Yes.
There's also a "(no label)" entry?

Are you positive that when you enter the passphrase in brainwallet it shows the right public address?
After you imported the private key in QT client, does this address show up in the "Receiving" QT tab?

Yes to the first
Yes to the second but it's the public address which is in the receiving tab
Thanks

Ok, in case anyone's listening or cares, I deleted wallet.dat and reran QT, then imported the private key without an error and encrypted it and the balance is still zero. Slick programming.

Thanks for that. When I do that it says "error adding key to wallet (code -4)" which I think means it's already added?
Balance still says zero. Blocks are up to date.
Thanks

Thanks for creating MSC and thanks for your response. Despite your bias I agree with you (that MSC is extremely undervalued).
Best regards

I installed QT on a computer for the first time, I have never used the software so don't know how it's supposed to work. I don't have a wallet.dat file at all - no original and no backup - am I supposed to create one? Where does it go and what do I put in it?
On Blockchain explorer I'm entering the public key which corresponds to my pass phrase which is for my brain wallet which contains my bitcoin balance.
Thanks

H, my bitcoin-qt is up to date but my wallet says zero balance. I've checked on blockchain explorer and it definitely has the right balance - do you know bitcoin-qt - how do I get my wallet into it? I seem to be misunderstanding something. I have entered the pass phrase.
Thanks

Mastercoin or Bitcoin?

Greetings from a newbie (U.K.), although with the help of a friend (U.S.) I do have a handful of Mastercoin and a handful of Bitcoin.
These coins are in my possession despite what I would have to call a conspiracy of techiness/bureaucracy which prevents those of us
with limited computer knowledge from being able to access these forums and buy/sell sites without considerable difficulty.
Anyway, that's not actually a complaint, more of a comment - I know it's consistent with the early days of any new system.
So my American friend is now of the opinion that I should increase my Mastercoin holding on the basis that the upside is more
exciting and imminent than for that of Bitcoin, although he implies that Bitcoin may be the slow and steady tortoise that wins the race.
One might be forgiven for thinking that Bitcoin is hardly slow and steady given the price fluctuations we have seen over the last few days.
My question after all this waffle is do other cryptocurrency specialists, partakers and observers agree with him?
Thanks for any thoughts, I am genuinely interested, this isn't just a newbie trying to fulfil the forum's rules  Huh
