Private key read out of the app

Description of how the private key can be read out of the app.

Copy the DFI address to which you want to read the private key

Copy the DFI address to which you want to read the private key.

Go to dex.defichain.com and search for this address.

Note: The website operator can theoretically link your IP address with this DFI address. It may be useful to use a VPN or a TOR browser.

Check if this address really contains all coins!

Go to the console and Unlock your wallet.

Go to the console.

Enter the following command: dumpprivkey "your address".

Note: For reading the native BTC private key instead of a DFI key, use command spv_dumpprivkey "your address" instead. You can use the BTC key for example in Electrum, see here: Import BTC private key to Electrum.

Confirm with Enter ⏎

(Should I explain here where the Enter key is located?)
