Title: Help needed on how to generate a public GLD address
Post by: Bubba on December 04, 2013, 12:02:05 PM

I'm trying to generate a public GLD address. At the step of importing the private key into my wallet (unencrypted) I'm getting the following error:

importprivkey 6uxQLN7oqq3R3LpqJduStQknHbJ3TF3H9L9vDWtjymJj4oxZ2Hj "Test"

{"code":-5,"message":"Invalid private key"}

I've seen that a few people got this during the paper wallet test.  I'm not sure I'm using the correct Private/Public key generator. Which key generator are you all using? I downloaded GLDAddress - Open Source JavaScript Client-Side GLDcoin Wallet Generator but I'm stuck at this point.

Is your wallet encrypted? That was the problem I had when testing the paper wallet. Make sure you unlock your wallet.

The wallet isn't encrypted yet. How did you generate your private/public keys? I'm wondering if I'm generating the keys with the right software.

looks like you are asking the client to import the private key but you are specifying your public key.
