Thank you for your help.
It seems coinbase does not have an "import wallet" option...
Blockchain.info does have one thought. And it did not work...

It doesn't actually import wallets, no.  But that's not the point.  You can do a simple transfer of BTC from your old wallet into Coinbase, if you have either the QR code or the number, from your "paper backup".  Then it is safe in Coinbase until your next move.

<p>Lately, I had a synchronization problem using bitcoin core, and I asked in this forum how to solve it.
 Here is the <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2979/what-can-i-do-when-the-blockchain-synchronization-is-stuck-at-a-specific-block">link of the forum post</a>.</p>

<p>I resigned trying to make bitcoin core work again, and connected today on a browser based wallet (blockchain.info).</p>

<p>I imported my private key, and the wallet showed I had exactly 0 BTC...</p>

<p>Option 1) I did the transfer between the 2 wallets wrong.</p>

<p>Option 2) I have been hacked, and lost 350 USD.</p>

<p>What do you think ?</p>

<p>Thank you.

Two ideas: 1) Did you export the right address? 2) Did the address have money in it at some point in the past? Look up the address on blockchain.info.

Thank you for your help.
1) Yes it is the right adress as 2 transactions are coming up in the wallet history. But I don't have ALL the transactions, especially not the ones when money is coming in...
2) Yes it did have some money in the past. I filled it up and emptied it at least 3 times in the past year.

Are you sure it didn't go to a change address you didn't move to the other wallet? Core uses change addresses for returning what's left after you send a portion of your total.

# How to tell if I have been hacked?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-30)

Lately, I had a synchronization problem using bitcoin core, and I asked in this forum how to solve it.
Here is the [link of the forum post](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2979/what-can-i-do-when-the-blockchain-synchronization-is-stuck-at-a-specific-block).

I resigned trying to make bitcoin core work again, and connected today on a browser based wallet (blockchain.info).

I imported my private key, and the wallet showed I had exactly 0 BTC...

Option 1) I did the transfer between the 2 wallets wrong.

Option 2) I have been hacked, and lost 350 USD.

What do you think ?

Thank you.

I would go to <http://www.coinbase.com> and set up an account there,

then try to do the transfer from your original address into there.

If it works, then it will be safe, first of all.

And if it works, then you will know it is your Core that is the problem.

You can always transfer out of Coinbase later once you think you have it sorted out and set up correctly.
