Has anyone had luck getting their private key?   I backed up my wallet, but I like to have the actual private key as well.

I unlocked my wallet and went to the debug window typed in  dumpprivkey
   


But I keep getting an error that says wallet unlocked for minting only.    There is no option when I unlock to wallet to select or unselect that.

You have to restart the wallet then.

See here:
https://github.com/ShieldCoin/SHIELD/wiki/Dumping-a-private-key-(e.g.-for-paper-wallet)

"Note: If you get an error about staking/mining/minting, please restart the wallet and try again."


I got it to work.   I had to relock the wallet,  then enter passphrase (passphrase)  time false.     That allowed me to then do the dumpprivkey command.

Thanks
