could you tell me how to extract and save private and public keys from Bicoin application to local file, to pendrive, to get private key protected on tangible media off-line.

Especially when you don't intend to use a private key directly.
If you do want to use it directly: click here (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/7536/how-do-i-export-my-private-keys-from-my-bitcoin-qt-client) Title: Re: Hot to extract and save private and public keys from Bicoin application Post by: R0yalAir on January 08, 2014, 01:13:01 AM Quote to get private key protected on tangible media off-line.

It's possible by using the importprivkey command. Ok. I have installed Bitcoin application under Windows XP, run in GUI mode. Should I run Bitcoin from command line in off-line mode to get address generated, saved and private, public keys saved ? Bitcoin is not coming with any help file, on-line manual. I am not interested to use Bitcoin for downloading blockchain. Just testing security of Bitcoin application and the way private and public keys, address are generated and handled and protected against attacks by hackers (MS Windows XP). I plan to use Bitcoin to generate private key in off-line mode and have it saved to tangible off-line media like pendrive or CD-ROM to not let windows applications coming with built-in keyboard logger functionality to steal and export my private key to third parties. |
