How to export or dump your private key

I had a problem in which I wanted to update a wallet but it was on another pc and the wallet was empty but had been used.Through fixing that, I found this guide to dumping your private key and a new feature in 0.7 and upwards of the Bitcoin protocol, which is available to Feathercoin users.

launch your feathercoin client as usual
wait for it to load the blockchain and start up

click on ‘help’ in the menu bar (top right)

click on ‘debug window’

select the ‘console’ tab

type: walletpassphrase “your walletpassphrase here” 600

type: dumpprivkey [feathercoin address]

this will return the private key, you can copy it now; ensure you clear your clipboard/history afterwards

type: walletlock

Starting from bitcoind 0.7, you can use listaddressgroupings, which lists all addresses

Thanks

I also found this warning about importing your keys:
