How to make a Darkcoin Paper Wallet

Is your wallet locked? I had a hell of a time trying to import a key and it not working. Then realized my wallet was still locked. Once I unlocked it it worked.

I was getting the same error you were getting btw.
 
hi guys,
thanks for your replies

in the meantime i was able to get the solution...

apparently when generating the paper wallet, I initally marked to have it password protected and typed in a password after which i generated the adresses.

After that i thought to myself : meh, i actually don't need a password protection.

So i unmarked the password protection, but didn't generate new adresses. (stupid, right... :p )
I figured that it was pass protected because i read somewhere that if your private key starts with 6P, its always with a password.

After about 2 hours of trying numerous passwords that i use regularly, i finally found it (i couldnt believe my eyes!! :p )

thanks again, all well in the end though

OK. Back to working on this today. I followed Stephana's instruction to importprivkey in the console and the command line just went to the next line with green text. I assumed that meant... no error.
Then nothing. So I went to the en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys site are read that it may take a few minutes. So I waited. Still nothing. I am saying that in the "receive" tab, there is not a new address in there showing 0.0 value. It is not listed.
Quit the wallet and re-opened... BOOM there it is. I wasn't sure if it was because I waited or re-started the wallet. I am still testing on this... so far inconsistent. I will post what I find.
Now, using this same key pair(Public/Private) could I add this same address to more than one wallet? I am saying, that if I keep the pub/priv pair safe... Add the address to a wallet, but don't do any transfer... delete the wallet... in 10 years will I be able to re-import that private address into a new wallet, or does the importing of the priv key make it "locked" to that wallet? I hope I explained the question right. Thanks!!
 
The video is not working for me, I guess you need some plugin from the 90ies. Is it flash?
So not sure what it is about, what are they doing there??
 
Aiahhh ….
i let you guys sort this out and wait until it is done and save !

Well, I wouldn't. Use https://paper.darkcoin.io and check if the certificate matches that of https://www.darkcoin.io and if so, whitelist it. If you don't know how to do that, wait until they have sorted it out or accept the (fairly small) risk of being snooped upon when using http://paper.darkcoin.io.

https://paper.darkcoin.io is not even live, no need to compare certificates...

If tungfa needs the most secure solution: clone the source repo, disconnect your LAN and run it locally in your browser :grin:

Hi Guys

I create an encrypted paper wallet for test

how can I import this wallet to Darkcoin-Qt ? or how can I unlock the paper wallet?

I try using: walletpassphrase "Your Passphrase" "600" but do not work

Assuming you already dumped your private key (dumpprivkey), you have to unlock the wallet you're importing into and then at the console:

importprivkey "PRIVATE KEY"
