If I'm using a blockchain.info wallet how do I see my own private key.

Obviously I know my wallet address but where is my private key visible?

When u get into blockchain.info wallet dashboard, u'll find a Download Paper Wallet link at the bottom right corner. Click on that to download it in PDF format. Your private key is there in WIF format.

You can also import your generated private key (vanity address for example) to blockchain. Im using this solution myself.

Be very careful with their paperwallet.  I would not print on public printer, etc.

And store safely obviously so others cant take it.

Btw, if you want to get your private keys in some other formats (Base58, WIF, Base64, Hex), you can click "Import / Export", "Export Unencrypted" and choose the format you want.

Your question has been answered twice with two potential solutions to your problem, however what has not been said is the fact that this is generally not a good idea unless you have a good reason to need to see your private key (most people do not have a reason to need to see this). Viewing your private key is very similar to having cash laying around where no one is around, it is possible that no one would pick it up but the risk is there that it will get stolen

I hold all of my coins (over 10 now) in my blockchain wallet.
For some reason I don't like the sound of a paper wallet.

I don't trust myself to know how to transfer them back from a paper wallet into an online wallet.

I'm planning to be a long term holder in the hope that BTC explodes in the future.

I have 2 factor authentification so have protected myself that way & I back up my wallet via dropbox.

No point in trying it unless he really wants to see it. If his computer is in any
way compromised he might just end up losing all his coins.

If u put your wallet in DropBox, make sure that they are in encrypted format. DropBox is probably not as secure as u r thinking Smiley
