hi,

I have a paper backup (single sheet, version 1.35) and I'd like to export the private keys from this paper backup. (I tried running a full node in order to have an armory online, but i can't make it work, despite making several attempts, waiting several days each time )

when i import the paper backup, i can't see the public keys, neither the private keys. i tried to backup the wallet, but i can't find anything in order to export the private keys.
Is it normal ? How can i recover my bitcoins ?

I have a watch only wallet with the same id, and when I manually check the public addresses, I can see it still have money on some of them.

Click the receive bitcoin button to reveal addresses once it has been scanned. Also, pick expert mode to see the backup option for printing out private keys.

You shouldn't export private keys though, you should spend from the wallet or just sweep it entirely.

Thank you, it works now. I didn't click the receive bitcoin button at first, that why the addresses didn't show.

I did export the private key, and i then sent the bitcoin to another address.
