Importing a private key (paper wallet) to Bitcoin Core client, while offline, is not actually importing Trying to import a paper wallet to bitcoin core, while not having a fully synced node.
I've used: importprivkey 1Lblablablablabla &quot;MyLabel&quot; false
It returns &quot;null&quot;, which I understand means successful import.
But then when I use dumpprivkey with the associated public address, it says there is no private key associated with the address.
I also look in the GUI and can't find any clue as to where that private key has been imported.
So basically the wallet is not giving me errors of failed import, but also not actually importing the private key.
What should I do?
You can use dumpwallet to examine the wallet's contents after importing the private key.
