Hey,

Can anyone tell me how I find out the private key of an electrum wallet adress? All I could find so far was a private key for the whole wallet, any chance to find the one for a specific adress?

Thanks in advance

I don't use electrum but with a search on google i found this pic maybe you should try this. (instead of sweep, try export)

That's importing (sweep or import option), OP seems to be wanting to export his private key.
[The export option however lists all addresses and their according private keys]



@OP:
Either do what traderbit suggested, or to show/export a single key only, do the following:
Go to Addresses -> Right-click on the address from which you want to export -> Private key -> Copy the output

Bring the addresses tab into view via the view menu. Then switch to that tab, ctrl+f to search for the address in question, right click on it and choose the option to view the private key.
