Which of the addresses in my wallet is the master public key. This mentions terminology that I don't understand. I get how a regular bitcoin address works it has a public and private key. But I don't get which key is the public master key in a wallet with unlimited address that can always be recreated again from the backup?
The master public and private keys are not any of the addresses in the wallet. They are something else and you can't easily view them. To find the master keys, you will need to export the key lists.
