I'm stuck and need some help!
Burnt a BTC from a blockchain.info wallet and now want to move the xcp to counterwallet. I tried importing (sweeping) the burning address into counterwallet but it says 'invalid private key or use unencrypted key'.
I am pretty sure I have the 'normal' unencrypted privkey from blockchain.info. Strange thing is that I also checked the privkey at bitadress.org under wallet details and this also errors out, saying invalid privatekey.
It even gets a bit weirder. If I import the privkey in the old blockchain.info wallet it says already there, if I import it in the new beta-wallet (v3) it gives another public key (basically I have 2 ublic keys with the same private key in the v3 wallet)! Makes me think it is a blockchain.info problem but cant find any info about it.

I have done this a few times in the past already (from blockchain to counterwallet) and for some reason it errors now. Anyone have any idea what is wrong or what I am doing wrong?

Blockchain.info is know for their numerous bugs so I would not be surprised when this is another of their bugs. They are pretty bad with fixing bugs too.

When your bc wallet claims the address is already there then you can still get the privkey from blockchain.info? If so, as far as I remind, bc.info gives out the privkey in various formats. Maybe you really copied something differently coded.

You are right, had in in base58. Seems to be working now, thanks!
Still strange that I got 2 different public addresses with the same key in blockchain.info
