blockchain private key

[BeGoods]

When i add a new wallet to my blockchain, they just give me an address, they just give me another address, they dont give me the private key for it, if i lose my identifier and i cant login to blockchain,how do I get back my money? can i use the private key of the original address and import the details to another client?

i don't use blockchain anymore, but from what i remember if you select paper in your wallet, it should open a window with your private key

Yes, the private key can be used to import funds on another client.

Yes, the private key can be used to import funds on another client.

But he says he lost the access to his passphrase to accept the blockchain. I don't think you can extract the private keys of the wallet unless you can access to it through the website which is why I avoid any online wallets.

you can i just tested it now, you need to go to paper in your blockchain.info account, there, there is your private key

then you only need to do importprivatekey in your client, and you have there you fund associated with it

If you are looking for your private keys in the blockchain.info wallet.

Log into your blockchain.info account.
Near the top, click import/export. Click that you understand.
On the left hand side, click on Export Unencrypted.
Under the drop down box: Select private key format, select Bitcoin-Qt Format.

Within the file, are all your addresses and their corresponding private keys.

Hope this helps.

They do. Just download the paper wallet from the link given in the bottom right corner of your dashboard.

can i use the private key of the original address and import the details to another client?

Ofcourse you can.

He said 'if' he were to lose the identifier, "how would he get access" to his funds. He said nothing about losing the passphrase, where did you read that?

And OP reply above me by Agentofcoin explains it pretty well how to take back up of your keys from blockchain info, my advice to you would be don't store too many coins on a web wallet. GL

Yes. lol.
Do not post your private key(s) on this forum or any website.
Anyone that has your private key can steal the bitcoins within that address.
Your private key is only for you to know. Keep it safe and secure.

Additionally, you should read up more and educate your self on Bitcoin/bitcoin, before you move a lot of money around.
It's always a sad day when users lose or have their bitcoins stolen.

Twister is correct.
My understanding is that the Private key creates the Public key.
The Public key is then reformatted to a small set of characters to create the Address.
So the Public key is basically your Address.

The below link is a advanced technical picture of how the public key is reformatted to an address.
Just for visual steps purposes. (I don't really totally understand it, lol)

not really, the address is an hashed version of your public key, one is 256 bit the other is only 160

I've never had any problems with blockchain.info and as far as I know they copy your pvt keys and send them to your email without them being able to access them themselves.

They only do that for the address you register with, i think they dont store identifiers though

[Meuh6879]

if i lose my identifier and i cant login to blockchain,how do I get back my money?

YOU CAN'T LOOSE THIS, NOOB !

 If you go to the "import/export" tab there will be an option to export your private-keys for every address in your wallet. There is also an import function that allows you to import a private-key into your blockchain.info wallet. If you are curious you can click on export unencrypted and it will display you public and private-keys in a JSON output. The long string of what seems to be random characters after the "priv" is actually your private-key. The string of characters after the "addr" is your public-key or address. As you can see in my example there is more than one key exported. If you wanted to you could copy the private-key and then import it into another wallet program. This would allow you to access this address from more than one wallet service.



Never show anyone your private-keys.
I am only showing these keys for demonstration purposes.
