I have used bit address.org for years and have never had any issues at all. Always used offline saved javascript version and never even had a glitch.

I went to sweep an old wallet today into blockchain and the coins did not appear even though but said the wallet was imported. )I could not see the public address in the list of imported addresses. I tried a second blockchain account and it said wallet imported again and the only address it said was imported was a different one to the one I have.

Is this an issue with blockchain.com? Should I try somewhere else before I start getting worried?

Thanks for any help given

When you created the private key with bitaddress.org did you include Bip38 password encryption?

I cannot tell how blockchain.com works, but I can give you alternative.

First of all check the expected bitcoin address (of the paper wallet) in a block explorer like https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/HERE_COMES_THE_ADDRESS and see if you have the expected funds.
Second, you can download Electrum from and only from https://electrum.org/#download (it would be good to also check the signature, there are tutorials on this forum), and there, on the "create new wallet" page you choose "import bitcoin addresses or private keys", press next then there type p2pkh: and paste your paper wallet's private key.

Electrum will create a wallet for you from that paper wallet and you can send the funds wherever you want.

Of course it's expected you do this on a computer without malware. I'd start with checking that first.

better everyday ♥

Although I am not sure of what you are experiencing, it is not an error on Blockchain.com Roll Eyes

If you have used it for many years and even use offline saved javascript version. I think the first problem you need to do is scan your computer Wink

You may have been safe for many years, but you could have had a hazard a few days ago. My biggest doubt is your computer, it has a problem Roll Eyes
