Show Every Private Key In Bitcoin Core Wallet

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Bit of an embarrassing noob question but with the uncertainty around 1st August I want to know how I can see the private key to every address in my wallet.

I have xx bitcoin's in my wallet, any way I can't remember how many coins are in each address. To be honest I can't even remember how many addresses I've used so simple for most of you but dumb question.

Is there a way I can see all the private keys of addresses in my wallet (eapecially those that have bitcoin's in them)

I'm not sure if this works in the HD version of the Bitcoin Core wallet ( I haven't tried it yet), but I assume it does.  It definitely should work if you haven't switched to HD yet.

Entering the following in the console:

Code:

dumpprivkey 1ABitcoinAddressGoesHere

will give you the private key for the bitcoin address if your wallet has the private key

Entering the following in the console:

Code:

listunspent

Will give you the list of unspent outputs that your wallet knows about and the associated bitcoin addresses.

Just FYI, it will work if you are using an HD wallet... also, the "dumpwallet" command will give you everything in one go... it will dump the "extended private masterkey" and all the keys/addresses and derivation paths into a text file:

EDIT: Obviously, you will need to take necessary safety precautions... not only with the text file, but in generating it... "dumpprivkey" displays the key in the console... so it exists in memory and on screen, it will only be on disk if it gets paged out of memory... "dumpwallet" dumps it onto a file on your disk in plaintext.

This should not be done without due consideration of the implications this has on your private key security!
