Balance doesn't show up after import in multibit

1

  • I'm trying to import a private key that I exported from Blockchain, I import it, the right public key is created, but no transactions show up or balance?
    I've imported a bunch of private keys. and this is the first time I've run into something like this.
    Could it be the date? The key is exported in the right Bitcoin-QT format. What could it be?
  • How can I enable 0 confirmation spending? I want to use it between addresses that I use so I don't need to worry about double spending; I really don't want to alter the source code and all that.

What version of Multibit and on what platform ie OS?

There were issues with importing Blockchain wallets (a Reddit or BCT thread detailed lost BTC from a supposed lost imported Blockchain private key) so I believe recent Multibit versions have had Blockchain wallet imports disabled.

A couple threads to check:

There's nothing stopping you from using Blockchain's export unencrypted keys in either base58 or Bitcoin-QT formats and pasting the private keys for import (PRIVKEY will either be 5H,5J,5K or K,L)
