Import external private key to blockstack wallet about stacks.js HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm marking this under feature request and we'll keep you posted on when this gets rolled out.

from stacks.js.

Would importing an external private key allow for maintaining access to a name that was migrated from Namecoin to Blockstack? i.e. if I have a private key for a namecoin address that I used to control a Onename id before the migration, could I import the same private key to use it to control the name now?

@clehner: I think there are two parts to this:

(a) How to get a bitcoin address from a namecoin privatekey
(b) How to import a bitcoin privatekey into the Blockstack CLI

Let's try to push solutions for both of these soon :-)

from stacks.js.

The develop branch now supports setting the owner private key, the payment private key, and the data private key with the import_wallet directive.

Fixed with import_wallet in the new stable release.

Please, give us example how to import name from Namecoin to Blockstack via "import_wallet" command.

1. Exporting u/name private key.
2. Finding the Bitcoin's corresponding address of that private key.
3. Creating wallet in Blockstack.
4. ??? How to import the private key into that wallet?
