Private Key Issue And Imported taddr From ZecPaperWallet Not Showing Correct Balance

1. Issue

I could not get the private keys (belonging to t address) that was generated from ZecPaperWallet to Zecwallet Lite to show the correct balance even though the address was correct. Nothing was wrong, the blockchain explorer shows the correct balance

Another issue was that importing private keys for t address only works for Android but will not show the correct balance, Windows on the other hand, gave me an invalid key error

2. How To Recreate

You need to have ZecPaperWallet, Zecwallet Lite, an Android phone and Windows OS

Generate a taddr by specifying the switch -t 1 in zecpaperwallet if you are using the CLI

Use the private key (does not matter if the output is in .json or .pdf) and try importing it to Zecwallet Lite

Error on an invalid key should show on the Windows Zecwallet Lite

The same error will not be shown on Android's Zecwallet Lite and instead will continue to sync as normal. Head over to the "Receiving" section and search for the address. It should be there. However, once the wallet has been fully synced for the private key, you will not be able to see the balance that is in the corresponding address
