So I created a wallet at bitcoinaddress.org to send some maidsafe coins to it. I am able to check my balance of maidsafe coins by entering the address that I had generated using bitcoinaddress.org at omniwallet.org but am not able to use any mobile app to restore the wallet using the private key or even by scanning the bar code that was generated at bitcoinaddress.org. Long question short, how do I restore an already existing wallet that was created using bitcoinaddress.org
Please help!

What do you mean by "restore"? You absolutely do not want to use that address in a Bitcoin wallet. A Bitcoin wallet knows nothing about Maidsafe, and you would lose your Maidsafe coins if you added that address to a Bitcoin wallet and then spent the bitcoins in it.

Anyway, this is a Bitcoin forum. For Maidsafe answers, you should go here: https://safenetforum.org

I'm not aware of that website. Are you sure you're not looking for the old and trusted bitaddress.org?
I can't access any website with the given URL (Bitcoinaddress.org). As long as you have the private keys, you should be able to import them into any wallet. If you have a QR code, use Mycelium as the fastest and easiest solution.

I am sorry about the wrong website url. The website is bitaddress dot org. I was able to find out how to transfer the bitcoins from paper wallet at bitaddress.org using blockchain.info. However I am still not able to transfer the Maidsafe coins back to the exchange address and can just view the balance of Maidsafew coins using omniwallet.org. Any suggestions on what should I do?
