Title: How to extract private key of a wallet.dat Post by: glub0x on April 06, 2013, 04:49:50 PM Hello, from the GLBSE shitstorm i got a private key on an encrypted wallet.dat that regulary receive funds from MOORE.
I asked them to send to another adress but no answer. As bitcoin QT is very boring, i'd like to send everything to another adress and to import this private key somewhere else which is going to be much more convenient to me. Problem, i can access the wallet.dat file but it s encrypted. If i manage to open this file i bet i'll find loads of private key. How to know quickly wich one is of intrest to me? I can't export the private key from bitcoinqt, so what to do?

You can, install latest version, go to console and run dumpprivkey. You will need to unlock the wallet before that.

How exactly do you go to the console? i mean i can launch bitocoin qt.app with argument but none of the given argument seems to open a console and of course dumpprivkey doesn't seem to be an argument... I feel i m missing a very simple thing here. Title: Re: How to extract private key of a wallet.dat Post by: jackjack on April 13, 2013, 01:25:06 PM Bitcoin-qt -> help -> about bitcoin -> console tab
