Topic: OSX Bitcoin-Qt private key - page 2. (Read 7268 times)
I tried searching, but all my attempts turned up advice about using bitcoind. I don't see bitcoind on my computer (although perhaps I just don't know where to look).
I'm using OSX Lion, and running Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2.2 with an encrypted wallet.
I'd like to identify what the private key is for one of my bitcoin addresses. I'm guessing this is a simple thing to do, so I've posted my question here instead of "Technical Support". I'm sure this question has to have been asked before, so I apologize for asking a question that people are tired of answering.
Given a bitcoin address of ABC and an encryption password of XYZ, how would I go about finding the private key?
I'm aware that it isn't possible from the GUI, but was really hoping there was a way to do it from a command line. I'm relatively fluent in BASH, KSH, PERL, AWK, SED so if there is a script that can help me, that would be fine as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
