Ya, it was an emergency.  I needed the bitcoin asap, no time to wait for shipping + escrow :| 

No problem.  Glad it worked out for you.  A shame you redeemed a coin though. 

You saved my ass, omg thanks so much haha. I was in a panic as to why my Cas coin wouldn't work.

Thank you for the post., i'm glad the codes can be converted

Update:
I have received several messages asking about how to redeem (import) in Blockchain.info (using a new wallet since legacy is no problem).  This post is to give the quickest way to accomplish this as there are several ways and then supporting information.

The key under the label (like Casascius) is a 'Mini Private Key'.  (So, this method is the same for Casascius coins and others).
In my case, this is:  SqtVvMgDxWyXMrAdas7PirKQp7YbMz

Step 1 - Convert your mini-private-key to an 'uncompressed private key'
www.bitaddress.org  (Use offline version for safety)
Click on 'Wallet Details'  (You don't have to wait for a random wallet to be created)
Copy in your mini key - example: SqtVvMgDxWyXMrAdas7PirKQp7YbMz
Then click 'View Details'
Copy out the Private Key - example: 5Jkp75Gb3jRLTF7rXJvXJNuM7t1QbX2muMJUh8Pa56qxpaREuck

Step 2 - Blockchain.info
Create a new wallet or use an already made account.
Go to 'Settings', then 'Addresses'
Click on 'Import Address'
Paste in your private key - example: 5Jkp75Gb3jRLTF7rXJvXJNuM7t1QbX2muMJUh8Pa56qxpaREuck

---

The above is all you need to do.

It's that simple.  of course, you should either move the coins to a more secure address if you want, and then delete the address from your wallet should you choose.
Now for details / issues....

A 'Mini Private Key' can be easily converted to:
wif (compressed): L1NNuoqoH4EQrqKFan7Ejhg3oN8o9MYqC4c9E7ccy6o7Nk9wtU9w
uncompressed:     5Jkp75Gb3jRLTF7rXJvXJNuM7t1QbX2muMJUh8Pa56qxpaREuck
In turn, they are:
Bitcoin address:                      1CCUSKpW6ZNRCYCTurAg3XU8afbk9p9yqx
Bitcoin address uncompressed : 1BaTSwatnqGKsuhfZQYsy4kAgAMfV2g7Kb

Blockchain.info legacy (old wallet) works with the 'Mini Private Key' in that it will import the uncompressed Bitcoin address which is used for coins.  
The new wallet, although appears to work, it converts the 'mini-private-key' to wif (compressed) private key and then uses the compressed bitcoin address.

New Wallet: SqtVvMgDxWyXMrAdas7PirKQp7YbMz -->  L1NNuoqoH4EQrqKFan7Ejhg3oN8o9MYqC4c9E7ccy6o7Nk9wtU9w --> 1CCUSKpW6ZNRCYCTurAg3XU8afbk9p9yqx
Old Wallet: SqtVvMgDxWyXMrAdas7PirKQp7YbMz --> 5Jkp75Gb3jRLTF7rXJvXJNuM7t1QbX2muMJUh8Pa56qxpaREuck --> 1BaTSwatnqGKsuhfZQYsy4kAgAMfV2g7Kb

I don't know why Blockchain.info made this change.  This is scary for the person first trying to import/redeem as it appears the bitcoin address on the label doesn't match the private key.  And, google doesn't have results for the difference between Old and New blockchain.info wallets.  Also, blockchain.info doesn't have any supporting information in their help/faq regarding this difference.
Another thing that is a shame is that you can't simply 'sweep' an address in the 'New Wallet' format which you could have in the 'Old Wallet' (legacy) format.

You dont need my permission to make an offer.
wheelz1200 could have meant the offer 6 months ago, where i told you no, with a justification why not. Fast forward 6 months, and you try the same approach with a copypasta of back then. When you finally worked out i didnt want your business, you chose to insult, play the big-i-am, and then made up some bullshit story about an imaginary friend.

I thought your approach, absolutely sucked. Theres nothing else to discuss Blazed, and this is OT.

You never let me make an offer... You immediately said I was trying to mess up your thread. Also, while we are off topic saying I was lying about that offer is pretty funny. You can ask anyone here about how I trade. If I say something I mean it. I have never once had a questionable trade here.

In a half-arsed kinda way, yes.

correct.
When i say soon, i mean soon™  
Gonna be a little while yet.

Didnt blaze offer you more then peel value? (For the cas)

Why in gods name would you peel a Casascius? or is it that 25 coin.

I might be peeling a Casascius soon. This probably would have stumped me, so cheers for the info Michail1.   

Great work! Thanks for all the good info. 

Chris

great work done and very useful info the community, thanks!

Thanks for taking the time doing this! Much appreciated!

Correct.  At least not at this point.

I emailed them, and from what I understand, so has BTCC.

Keep in mind that this isn't an issue with BTCC coins only as the same format is used in Casascius coins.

So importing the private key will work on the Blockchain Legacy wallet but not on the new beta wallet?

I look forward to the Video

It's gonna be awesome!
The new blockchain.info wallet sucks but making a new one gets you the updated wallet which is sstill not functioning very nicely so i have not updated mine!

It is strange that the tx failed without any fees - i don't really know alot about it but what i think i know is it confirms when they are from fresh block..

Strange!!

Thanks for posting this , look forward to images
