After backing up my private keys from the Android Bitcoin Wallet app (schildbach), I managed to export it to my laptop and decrypt it. I then proceeded to use bitcoinj to dump the raw keys onto a data file. My objective being to look at all the single private keys I own.

The raw dump lists the historical of all my transactions along with my wallet address strings followed by entries of the form:

ECKey{pub=..., priv=...}

How do I convert the priv ECKey to WIF format? I've been hanging my head on it for days now without getting anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
