Hi all, a question about backups...
3) Can I generate and see the private key so that I can write it down/print it and store it somewhere safe?
Many thanks
Other than the points West mentioned about the benefits of encrypting the wallet, if you really want to get the private key for your address, it's an option too since you can possibly store multiple private keys for multiple addresses and coins in a single sheet of paper.
On Linux, you can do so by typing
./biblepay-cli dumpprivkey "your bbp address"
Hope that helps.
