I have 1or 2 old dark coins on a paper wallet i made a while back. The key i have written down is 51 characters. Is there a way to import this into DASH or the qt client? I don't have the .dat wallet file, as it was created on a paper generating website, so i just have the 51 character key.

Thanks!
 
If it's 51 characters string with "7" then it must be a private key. You can open Console in qt wallet and type "importprivkey <your51charstringhere>" (no "<" or ">" of course) to import them one by one.

If you have many keys I would advise to avoid rescan (use command switch to turn it off):
importprivkey <firstkey> "some label" false
importprivkey <secondkey> "some label" false
...
importprivkey <lastkey> "some label"

This should save you some time because full rescan can take quite a long time these days.
