Solved!

For future reference, for anyone that might have the same problems, I got help in the thread I started in the alternate currencies forum.

This was strange...

Now the LTC-adress shows up in my recieve money tab but my balance there is still 0.0 LTC. However when using the block explorer the money is still there?

I dont know if this helps or not, I used this Litecoin block explorer to validate my adress and I can find it: http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/LdhDH5ufJ8cApvNYSrka1F2H5xaM787eqP

While I was relieved to see my balance being there I have no idea where or how to input the private key to move the balance to my online wallet.

What I have tried is downloading the Litecoin-qt and syncronizing it with the Litecoin blockchain after which added the adress with a label to the adress-book in the client. I have then tried to use the debug console to input command; importprivkey [label] where the label is the label as the ltc-adress in my adress book. Still it gives an error...

I have now syncronized the wallet with the Litecoin blockchain but the commands still return error messages. I dont understand if I have done anything wrong or what has happened here. Transfering the Litecoins to the paper wallet from btc-e was no problem.

I dont understand why there liteadress.org would provide a paper wallet service if its this hard to get the money back online...

Hello everyone,

I moved all my litecoins to a paper wallet adress generated by liteadress.org and now I'm looking to import them again so I can start do some business.

The problem is the online ltc wallets I've found does not accept paperwallet imports and when reading through the forum here I found a post about using the debugging console in the litecoin client.
So I downloaded the client (it's still syncronizing) and tried to import using the commands described in that post.

The importprivkey command generates the following message: {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid private key"}

The dumpprivkey command generates the following message: {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Litecoin address"}

I'm wondering if this is because;

*the liteadress.org wallet and the money is lost (should work though, it's a printed adress...)
*If this has to do with some error in the commands I write

or

*If I have to wait until the wallet is synchronized

Very thankful for any help with this.

Best regards,
