Looks like this is a bug in the importprivkey functionality in the current Bitcoin-Qt.

Thank ya! Smiley I went ahead and responded to that thread (even though it's a month old) with my experience on the "bug." Not even sure you can really call it a bug.. I dunno if that's what the developer had in mind when importing private keys, but yea, it's a strange issue for sure.

Thanks for the link!

Hey guys,

I used the Vanitygen to generate a new Wallet address for myself (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanitygen-vanity-bitcoin-address-generatorminer-v022-25804) and I went into the main Bitcoin-QT client, clicked Help, then Debug Window, and then console and issued this command: "importprivkey keyhere".

Now, when I go into my Address Book, the key shows up there. It doesn't show up in my "Receive Coins" window, but instead the "Address Book" window. How do I get this into my "Receive Coins" window so that I can actually send/receive coins from the vanity address?

Thanks,
Ricky


WAIT! Nevermind. It shows up now after my Bitcoin-QT client updated the blocks. Smiley
