But should I be worried about my Casascius coin?

Just a thought, please don't shoot me if I'm wrong: maybe it's a MultiDoge key file and not MultiBit?

Nope, it is definitely bitcoin.

I have no idea what to do.
My file looks ok and I can't import single key because I can't encrypt it.

Oh well i forgot to ask, are you trying to import the *.key file in Multibit Classic or in MultibitHD?

Cause you cannot import directly keys from MultiBit Classic to MultibitHD.  Smiley

I am using Multibit classic.
I will check those links now.

Could not understand address in import file

You see this message if you try to import private keys in a format that MultiBit Classic doesn't recognise.

You can fix this problem by putting the keys you want to import into the same format that MultiBit Classic uses to export keys - see:

https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_exportingPrivateKeys.html#exportFileFormat

https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_importASingleKey.html


Hope this helps.

I have password protected .key file that I made with MultiBit in 2014.
I am trying to import it but I get this error "Could not understand address in import file"

How can I import it?
