Hello,

I have tried using pywallet to extracted my private key. I have 0 luck, once I dump the wallet I get
Code:
{
    "defaultkey": "124eZYplH2kmNoC63N8PhGGgr5WxBoFgz",
    "keys": [
        {
            "addr": "1GYJJWHvCX5TrW77UN6vuU7n8vQ3IkmTebd",
            "reserve": 1,
            "sec": "L1DA86drA6vlkjKgM83d2kljyL35a46dEXkS5aMksoEF4hhuw7kfM8"
        },
(not actual keys)

I get a big list of addresses none of which are mine. I hope I am doing something stupid. The main reason I am trying to find my private key is because Bitcoin-Qt never finishes syncing, I have got to 80% once and then 90% before it just refused to sync.

Thanks for any help

EDIT:

Found the problem:

When using pywallet.py -dumpwallet I thought you could specify the location of wallet.dat but it just ignores what ever you put after it. So instead of reading my wallet.dat i was specifing it was reading the wallet used by bitcoind which I am using as a node.
