Question about blockchain wallet, exporting private keys.

[Azazel333]

Ok so I made a wallet a long time ago and have the private key. This was before the wallet supported Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.

Will that old private key still work if I'm holding Ethereum in the wallet? I see the wallet now says "export private key" on the ethereum tab. So i was thinking it may not.

Yes, it will (but that private key is intended for that particular BTCitcoin address only). Each address (for each coin), has its own respective private key.

Ah ok so if i use that private key that i generated it would only give me the bitcoin right? I wouldn't get any ethereum or bitcoin cash stored in the wallet?

So I need 3 private keys for my blockchain wallet if I'm holding bitcoin, bitcoin cash and ethereum?

Or just 1?

Thank you!

Each address has a private key. You should export each private key. If needed, you will import each address with a key.
