Title: Obtaining The Private Key For Each Address In The Electrum Wallet
Post by: GlobalProtection on April 18, 2018, 07:52:00 PM
Hello:

Let's say that three addresses are holding coins in my Electrum wallet.

Each of those addresses have their own private key.

How can I obtain the private key for each of those three addresses?

What are the ABC instructions for obtaining those private keys?

I know all about the seed word phrase and these questions are not about that.

Thank you,

G.P.

1. Enable the Addresses tab by going to: View -> Show Addresses;
2. Go to the Addresses tab;
3. Right click your address -> Private key;

That's it!

or if you are a fan of the console you can always use the commands there.
for seeing the full list of them type
Code:
help()

for getting the private key of an address use:
Code:
getprivatekeys('Your_Address_here')

p.s. you may need to enable console tab from the menu "View > Show console"
