| Jun 5, 2013 at 12:46 | comment | added | RLH | One more, quick point for clarification. Your wallet creates payment addresses for you. You do not need to create them from an external source and import them. However, since you did create a payment address bitaddress.org, unless you can recover the private keys, you can not recover these coins. Also... IF YOU TOOK A SCREEN SHOT OF THIS INFORMATION, DO NOT POST IT HERE. Yes, that's a digital yell. With all of that information, someone else could steal your coins. | |
| Jun 5, 2013 at 12:44 | comment | added | RLH | If you kept the private key, you can import your coins into your wallet. Otherwise, you've lost the coins for good. How to import your address/private keys into your wallet differs from client to client. | |
