Any update?
Did OP open the wallet and forgot about his promise?
I was able to download Blockstack .18 on Ubuntu thanks to the instructions PawGo gave my via DM (thanks PawGo).
The wallet has 3 keys (data, payment, owner). But I only have a "master key". So I'm not sure if I need to download an even earlier version of Blockstack or if I need to extract the payment key from the master key somehow in version .18.
I emailed Blockstack support but they still haven't responded.
If I install an earlier version of Blockstack, I need to delete Blockstack .18 first right?
So, it looks like Blockstack has it's own private key format that is 64 to 66 characters long. Apparently, even the address types in Blockstack are different from bitcoin addresses but can be converted to and from them.
You should try using blockstack-client (it is a python binding of blockstack
https://pypi.org/project/blockstack-client/, it's the one that makes a json file like the one you showed, when a wallet is created and pesters the user to export it to a file).
It needs Python 2 to work.1. Install Python 2
sudo apt install -y python2
2. Install pip for python 2 (yes we run this as root user)
sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py
2. Install blockstsck-client
pip2 install blockstack-client virtualchain==0.14.0
3. Save this wallet JSON you posted to a file, like
wallet.json for example.
{
"master_private_key": "ef242kfjj24ekf3223jesdkhefsfhk324wuefhw38fhrypofhtr34d342132d34jsd49",
"wallet_password": “kljsef9832nkfssf”
}4. Run
blockstack set_advanced_mode
and type "on" to access the inport_wallet command.
5. Run
blockstack import_wallet wallet.json
, it will import your wallet from
wallet.json and display your addresses.
6. To get the private keys run
It will show you output like this:
Enter wallet password: PUT THE wallet_password HERE, IT IS NOT ENCRYPTED

Note: this is data for a sample wallet I created using blockstack. Do not send any bitcoins to these addresses; you will lose your money.
