Post by: eminem90 on August 18, 2016, 01:04:38 PM
Hello, I've made bitcoin wallet there and can't find any option there to make a backup wallet and private keys. It's at new interface. I've used youtube to know how, but it showed only old interface. Pls help me.

There's no interface to view the private keys of newly generated addresses, but there's some ways on getting them. Read this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1583937.0).

Note that if you're going to use dex1's method it's always recommended to enter your mnemonic OFFLINE. Just to be safe.

Unfortunately, the feature to fully create a backup of your wallet (private keys) is also gone it seems. All you get for backup is your mnemonic phrase.

Didn't they switch to a deterministic format? In that case, the seed phrase is all you need :)
To be honest: i don't have a new blockchain.info wallet, i don't really like online wallets, it's just something i seem to remember from a thread i have read on this forum a couple weeks ago
