I have got a few coins in these addresses

They have 52 digits and start with a 5. I have managed to sweep these keys before on block chain but wanted to do it with multi bit.

I generated lots of wallets in bit address.org and when it comes to importing them into Multibit it seams the private key is in the wrong format can anyone help please? I only have a mac by the way

Oh my! I hope you didn't send coins to those addresses.

FYI bitcoin private keys come in Wallet Import Format (WIF). There are two types:

- Compressed: These begin with L or K and have 52 characters in em
- Uncompressed: These begin with 5 and have 51 characters.

Do any of the above match what you have??
