Title: Exporting private keys (dumpprivkey) Post by: kwukduck on April 13, 2012, 05:03:04 PM Hey all
I'm trying to export some keys as a safe backup, i'm using an external drive as my datadir and that usually works fine but now i'm running into some trouble. i'm running: ./bitcoind -datadir=/media/BTC listreceivedbyaddress it then returns: error: couldn't connect to server Am i doing something wrong or how should i go about this?
