Be careful while transferring private keys. Wrongful handling can cause the loss of your Sexcoins. Always make a backup of your ''wallet.dat'' before importing and exporting private keys.

== Sexcoin-QT ==
=== Open the RPC console ===
Click on ''Help'', open the ''Debug Window'' and switch to the ''Console'' tab.

=== Decrypt BIP38 encrypted keys ===
If your private key is not BIP38 (password) encrypted you can skip this step. If your key is BIP38 encrypted (starts with 6P) you need to decrypt it first before importing the key to Litecoin-QT. [https://liteaddress.org/ Sexaddress] is one of the websites that can be used for this. Click on ''Wallet Details'', enter your key and click on ''View Details''. Now you'll need to enter your BIP38 password. You'll find your decrypted private key below the ''Private Key WIF'' QR Code.

Your keys are not being transferred to the Web Server. To ensure this, you can disconnect your computer from the internet and still use the website as normal.

=== Unlock your wallet ===
If your Sexcoin-QT wallet is not encrypted (not recommended) you can skip this step. To unlock your wallet you need to type in the RPC console: <pre>walletpassphrase MyWalletPass 60</pre>
Change ''MyWalletPass'' to your wallet passphrase and change ''60'' to the number of seconds that you want the wallet to be unlocked. After that time the wallet will be locked automatically. Make sure to unlock the wallet long enough to do the next and final step.

=== Import the private key ===
Type into the RPC console:
<pre>importprivkey MyPrivateKey Lable</pre>
Change ''MyPrivateKey'' to your private key (starts with 6v or 6u) and for ''Label'' you can enter a name/description/label for the key (optional).
The importing takes a few minutes depending on your CPU power. The import is done when an empty line appears in your ''console''. Now you should be able to see the corresponding address to the imported key in the ''Addresses'' section.
