The Voting Application says “Error” after I click to import my private key. I tried several times but it won’t verify my public key. I’m using windows 10.
The private key must be in the uncompressed format… so Wallet Import Format starting with a “5”
If that’s right, they you must have put it in wrong, so you need to kill the process in task manager and restart the application, basically you have to enter the private key in correctly the first time
@dyamanaka if you have bitaddress.org on your desktop you can get the uncompressed private key by choosing the “wallet details” tab and putting the private key there. fyi
Same problem with dymanaka, restarted and nothing. I even have downloaded Electrum Wallet to check if my private key was alright, and it was. My private key already starts with a “5”.
The application gives you an “Error” when i try to import my private key (with my SEC tokens in Omni wallet).
Just unzipped a fresh download, I did ctrl+c then ctrl+v to copy and paste the private key… the keys were made and exported from omniwallet.org windows 7 64 bit home edition
I just tested this with a friend, it worked with importing either the compressed or uncompressed keys; However.
We need to add support for both keys because if you even convert the key to an uncompressed “5” key it would give a different public key than the one you have the SEC at. That being said, I just need to add to the application to differentiate for compressed or uncompressed… Im on it right now.
Additionally, though I’m not sure what the error could be… maybe you are copying in the keys incorrectly. that is why there is an error. I just independently tested with Windows with another person. The key import should be fine.
I’ve created another “5”-type private key, copied to the App and the same error has occurred.
I don’t think it’s a problem of inserting the correct private key. Too many checks of my part (Electrum wallet and bitaddress.org twice). It would work without SEC tokens in a “5”-type private key, right?
Tried everything, run as Administrator, Compatibility mode…
An interesting approach might be to set up virtual machine with ubuntu, and build on there… but if you have non “5” private key please wait up for the update otherwise the app won’t manage to produce your vote.
But let’t me be clear, that’s not a practical solution. It may jeopard the whole intent. Can the voting be directly on internet?
I don’t know, I think you are trying to preserve anonimity here… the process could be made like bitaddress.org, you download the whole program, turn off the internet, vote, then turn on the internet again to upload your vote.
