Title: PrivateKeys Help
Post by: warbler on August 01, 2013, 08:24 pm
So for my first post I am asking for a bit of help.

I am in the process of obtaining coins from a reputable site but must provide my private key so I can claim ownership of the coins. How do I go about locating my private key? I know, this is a noob question! I have searched around and am led to a variety of forums where people just debate the process and there is no clear answer lol.

Thank you!

be advised once you export the private key whoever has it can now decypher and message sent with( and encrypted with) the corresponding publice key- this defeats the security of hat key and i would consider it burned-
you can also verify who you are by 'signing' text- and the tutorial is also on the same site
