Topic: cannot sweep private key into electrum (Read 719 times)
you are aware that you have to create a new wallet right? because you can not import private keys in a wallet that has seed, you have to make a new one and import your private keys that way.

you can also sweep they keys (spend the balance by sending from that private key to one of your addresses in your electrum wallet) got to wallet > Private keys > sweep

looking at this printout from bitaddress.org--all private keys start with 5
does not start with 6
is it encrypted? (starts with a 6)
have a private key pair printed out on paper. am trying to get it into electrum so i can transfer it.
i go to private key -sweep--and paste the private key into the box--and basically nothing happens.--cant continue from there--must cancel
what am I doing wrong??
