1. where I can find the private key? I found the 34 character address (for receiving the money), but can't find the private key corresponding with this address (for sending the money).

Under the "Help" menu, choose "Debug Window".

Then choose "Console".

Type:

Code:
dumpprivkey 1yourBitCoinAddressHere
[/quote]

Where "1yourBitCoinAddressHere" is the 34 character bitcoin address from your wallet that for which you want the Private Key.

Thank you so much. This is the method of obtaining the private key I wanted Smiley

I wrote ''dumpprivkey 1DF............(my adress here)...................'' and I got this message in Console ''Private key for address 1DF...............(my adress here).................. is not known (code -4)''

what should I do about this?

Thanks
