Topic: Importing list of Hexadecimal (64 characters) Private Keys (Read 862 times)
Oh right... It's probably just reading a stray space or newline character or something at the end of the file and attempting to convert that into a private key

That code works perfect, even if the input file has 1000 keys, it converts them all in output file.
I guess there is just an error at the end of the file,

Works great!!, (So, it really does not matter what warnings it has) Please let me know if there is something configured wrong on my side.

Did you run it on your keys? or just on the example ones I gave you? I don't get that error...

Thank you!
You don't need to pass anything into the privtoaddr() function except for the private key "hex"... it doesn't need a 'format' parameter like the encode_privkey() function.
So you can just do this:
That should generate something like this:

Code: (hex_to_addr.py)

content = [x.strip() for x in content]

HCP, Thanks for the code
I have been messing with this and decided to give up and just ask you.
Can you modify the code so the output.txt will have both the hex key & compressed address ?
Output.tx contents would look like:

I took the liberty of hacking up a small python script that will take a text file of HEX privkeys and convert it into a text file with WIF privkeys... It will convert the hex to both "uncompressed" and "compressed" WIF keys, so you shouldn't miss any addresses. So you can simply run the script and then copy/paste the WIF keys into Electrum 
NOTES:
- You need the "bitcoin" library... ie. pip install bitcoin
- hex_keys.txt should be a text file that has one hex key per line... like this:
Script will output "wif_conv.txt" which will contain both the "WIF uncompressed" and "WIF compressed" representations of those hex keys:
Code:
import bitcoin
with open("hex_keys.txt","r") as f:
content = f.readlines()
# you may also want to remove whitespace characters like `\n` at the end of each line
content = [x.strip() for x in content]
f.close()
outfile = open("wif_conv.txt","w")
for x in content:
outfile.write(bitcoin.encode_privkey(x,'wif')+"\n")
outfile.write(bitcoin.encode_privkey(x,'wif_compressed')+"\n")
outfile.close()
with open("hex_keys.txt","r") as f:
content = f.readlines()
# you may also want to remove whitespace characters like `\n` at the end of each line
content = [x.strip() for x in content]

Hi, I need to import a list of hex private keys. I was hoping to just create a new wallet in Electrum and copy/paste the list of keys, but I guess Electrum only supports import of WIF private keys.
Rather than convert them all manually, is there a safe wallet that allows import of private key lists like Electrum, which supports hex format?
Thanks.
