The first alert is "bought private keys". What? Some things like paper wallets or casascius coins have their value stored in a single private key, but you should not be "buying" them as standard practice - people should send payments to your wallet.

I will document the behavior of Bitcoin-qt, which is what you should get accustomed to using if you have more than a passing interest in Bitcoin.

If you want a payment to seem to be coming from one address, you will want to first import those private keys into your wallet, and then send the entire balance of your wallet to a new address of yours that you create in "receive coins". Then the next payment that you send will appear to come from that new address.

Thank you for the answer!
I have bought them, imported them and after confirmation moved them to another adress. Thanks a lot, i figured that would be the safest way considering that private keys could be intercepted from the seller or moved if I just stored them. I'd have preferred to just have them sent to me, however local bitcoin sellers tended not to respond, exchanges are taking ages to verify me and I was in a bind. The seller offered me to use a credit card option, which is insane on his side, but led to the private key way, as I found out.

The "buying" portion was important because I paid them with Google wallet and storing them as a zip file allows that person to upload it to a delivery verification service. That is, the usual "he did not pay" thing from Paypal --> doesn't work. I download it, the "delivery" is recorded and the service then notifies the seller of delivery.

ID verification allowed the person also to win any chargeback dispute with Google. That is the whole reasoning..

As you can see from my join date, I don't have a high rep yet, since I am pretty new. That is why this buying service was a fast and useful thing for me Wink

Thanks again!

Hi everyone, i have a specific question:

I have bought a few private keys and gotten transactions on a number of different adresses.

Now I want to make a transaction to someone, have 8 different adresses loaded with BTC but want to send them from ONE adress, and later want to sign from that adress.

Do i just hit send? Or is there something I might fuck up here?Cheesy
