Title: dumping private key not possible Post by: ehmdjii on May 11, 2013, 07:32:29 PM hello, so i own this address, but when i want to dump its private key it says:
Private key for address 1DcdQWLVGjBz12B3FM1Db27ukZo4WeUD9o is not known (code -4) what can i do about it? Title: Re: dumping private key not possible Post by: DannyHamilton on May 12, 2013, 04:46:28 AM The address shows up in the "Receive Coins" tab of Bitcoin-Qt?
Is your wallet password protected? If so, you may need to run: Code: walletpassphrase YourPasswordHere PasswordTimeoutHere Where "YourPasswordHere" is replaced with your actual password, and "PasswordTimeoutHere" is replaced with the number of seconds you want the password stored in memory and usable by the wallet. Title: Re: dumping private key not possible Post by: ehmdjii on May 13, 2013, 10:06:39 AM yeah it is encrypted and i did run the command to unlock it.
and yes it shows up in the received tab and i already have received coins through it. Title: Re: dumping private key not possible Post by: DannyHamilton on May 13, 2013, 01:50:12 PM Sounds like some sort of bug in the software or a corrupted wallet.dat file then.
Which version of Bitcoin-Qt are you running? You might need to look into using pywallet to get the private keys from the wallet. Title: Re: dumping private key not possible Post by: ehmdjii on May 15, 2013, 10:35:34 AM using latest 8.1
pywallet cant access encrypted wallets afaik. |
