Right click on the electrum address from the address tab, and click Private Key from the menu. You enter the password and it shows your private key.

However be cautious when working with private keys. Anyone that obtains that can spend the money.

If you ask in the electrum section you will no doubt have more suggestions and success, you should be able to move this there:

Sorry i dont understand what you are saying.

Do you need the blockchain.info private key or the electrum address private key. Please explain more detailed your problem.

try using the python console and enter getprivatekeys('address').
if that doesn't work you might want to check the unspent outputs of your wallet using listunspent().

you don't need linux for that. make sure you replace address with your own address (e.g. >>  getprivatekeys('17RTTUAiiPqUTKtEggJPec8RxLMi2n9EZ9') .

if the result have something like "Exception: ('Address not found', 'address')" then that means the address doesn't belong to your wallet.

    raise Exception("Address not found", address)

So you used the public key from your electrum bitcoin address to generate a mycelium widget.

Then you got some bitcoin to that wallet.

Then you cannot see the bitcoins in the electrum wallet.

Is that what happened?



Why did you used the xpublic key and not the bitcoin address?

File "C:\Users\f4t4l\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI61562\lib\wallet.py", line 429, in get_address_index
    raise Exception("Address not found", address)

that means electrum doesn't have the address.
can you post the Xpub here? or just check the Xpub (not the address) in blockchain.info and see if the address that you're referring to is listed there.

yes correct.

address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1K1FbJ6fRNonhwQKGCLwTFCZ16xNVxf4ES

I have not tried www.gear.mycelium.com yet but I think the address they generated is not from your Xpub/Xpriv. contact their support and ask them about it and how you can get those coins.
