Title: Assistance required regarding exporting keys
Post by: BlueTopaz on December 29, 2016, 03:49:27 PM
I am trying to understand the functioning of electrum 2.7.12 for Windows, i have following issues :

1. Export Public Key -> In the Address tab I can find Public keys, right click will allow me copy the public keys address,Is there a way to export ALL public keys addresses at one go ( I am not talking about master public key , i want to export all of Individual public key separately) ??

2. Export Private Key -> In the Address tab I can find Public keys, right clicking any of them will allow me to get the private key of that particular address , Is there a way to export ALL Private keys separately for each public addresses at one go ??


3. Export QR code -> Is there a way to export ALL individual QR codes for public and private keys ??

Thanks
Nancy

3. I don't think there's a way to do that.

2. Wallet > Private keys > Export.

1. You can't export all public keys but there's a way to get all of them, and that is by opening the wallet file in a notepad (you'll have to remove the password). The public keys are listed inside. If you don't know where the wallet files are just press CTRL+O and copy the directory.

Ya what you told is correct on one shot you cannot copy all wallet private keys and public keys. and even the wallet address are changing on each transaction so i dont think that you wont be needing the empty address which are left unused.

public keys and addresses are not the same thing.

write down the 12 word seed and you'll be able to recover your entire wallet at any time including all addresses past, present and future. there is no need to export private keys.
