Importing a Spreadcoin private key

Suggest Edits

We've made it as easy as possible to claim your Helium coins.

You'll need your Spreadcoin wallet (or your private key) and the Helium wallet.

As a security precaution: disconnect from the internet before you start. NEVER SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEYS.

Open your Spreadcoin wallet. Click Tools then Debug Console. If your wallet is encrypted, first enter walletpassphrase YOURPASSWORD 120. This unlocks it for 120 seconds. Once unlocked, enter the following command: dumpprivkey SgCRnxFvBuUxR4KVKjo1MhMuHf6HryFVXz where the latter is your own Spreadcoin address.

Copy the output and open your Helium wallet. In your Helium wallet go to Tools then Debug Console and enter importspreadprivkey 7S3MYZnzDL6dqPXChLiCDUYNo6w7o353Q9uxgwVbXpCWb6MJjKG where the latter is the private key from your own Spreadcoin address.

Copy some random text to clear your clipboard and turn your internet back on. After the Helium wallet is synced you will see your balance.

  • If your Helium balance is not what you expected: check your Spreadcoin wallet and make sure your coins aren't sitting in a change address.

  • If you accidentally sent your SPR to an uncompressed paper wallet: you can still claim your Helium by using the importprivkey command.
