        I have got the coins. Hats off to Kevlar, the key did not seem to work in any version of the client but running it through Kevlar’s Python script produced a working private key :)

        Pietjebel, please give me a working address to send your funds on to.

            This is a not uncommon bug where the programmer of the client doesn’t change the version number in the export format. The private key is properly exported, but the version number is wrong. This code fixes that. Thanks to hank for providing the challenge, bounty, and final solution for the fix when my code fell one step short. Glad it worked. :)

              To all,

              Several heart-attacks later, but I have my coins again!
              Wise lesson to always test the importprivkey [paper_wallet_privkey] before sending all your coins to paper wallets.

              Thanks to those involved (Peter, Kevlar, Hank)!

                Is this still the case if I create a paper wallet on featheradress.org or is everything fixed and can I create one without any future heartattacks?

                    I have a 1983 Mercedes 300d and I’m having some cold starting issues. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m reasonably certain that Kevlar can provide me a github link to some python code that he put together that could fix that too. :D Nice work guys.

                      That’s a turbo-charged diesel with the glow plugs, right? Check the block heater. If the block is too cold, it can rob the plugs of heat and prevent a start even with good plugs and wiring. You may want to replace it if you don’t feel an extreme amount of warmth coming off it after a few seconds of operation. Just be careful, those things can get hot. :o

                        lol. Yeah, that’s about what I have it narrowed down to. It gets warm, but I’m not thinking warm enough for a Michigan winter.
