This page contains sample addresses and/or private keys. Do not send BC to or import any sample keys; you will lose your money.


Please note we have 3 kinds of Bitcoin Confidential Addresses and you can only use this method for Stake Addresses ( Start with "b") 

For Spending Address ( Start with "B") or ColdStaking Addresses (Start with "6") you have to use dumpwallet or backup "wallet.dat" file


Before reading this page, users should note that messing with  private keys is very dangerous and can result in losing BC, even long after the import.


Backup Your Wallet


Although this process is well tested and used you should always take another backup of your wallet.dat file before starting.


1. Export your private keys


click “Help” -> “Debug Window” -> “Console”

Open Debug Window


Unlock your wallet


If your wallet is encrypted (I hope it is!) you must unlock it.

If not just skip this step.


To do this just type into the box at the bottom:


walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" 600


You need the quotes if there is a space in your phrase else there is no need for them. The 600 means your wallet is unlocked for 10 minutes (600 seconds).



Run export Command in Debug Window


In the console at the very bottom is a text entry box. In here enter:

dumpprivkey BITCOINC_ADDRESS_YOU_WANT_KEY_FOR 


The quotes are only needed if you want a space in the label.


It will then display the private key for the associated address. You can backup all of your addresses this way, just make sure you handle the keys safely.

repeat this step for each address that you want to export private-key


P/S: You can export all private-key one time by use "dumpwallet"


2. import your private-key


Run Import Command in Debug Window

In the console at the very bottom is a text entry box. In here enter:


importprivkey yourPrivateKeyInWalletImportFormat "TheLabelThatIWant"


The quotes are only needed if you want a space in the label.


You now have to be patient. On a fast PC it takes 2 minutes to import, and during this time it looks like you application has hung. After waiting a few minutes it will done


repeat this step for each Private key  that you want to import


You are now done. But always best to check it worked.


Check Key Imported OK

Once Imported you can check that you have the address by closing the Debug window and going back to your address book.

You can send small BC to the import address and see it in recent transaction
