Any update?
Did OP open the wallet and forgot about his promise?

I was able to download Blockstack .18 on Ubuntu thanks to the instructions PawGo gave my via DM (thanks PawGo).

The wallet has 3 keys (data, payment, owner). But I only have a "master key". So I'm not sure if I need to download an even earlier version of Blockstack or if I need to extract the payment key from the master key somehow in version .18.

I emailed Blockstack support but they still haven't responded.

If I install an earlier version of Blockstack, I need to delete Blockstack .18 first right?

So, it looks like Blockstack has it's own private key format that is 64 to 66 characters long. Apparently, even the address types in Blockstsck are different from bitcoin addresses but can be converted to and from them. We are interested in the owner key because the docs (https://docs.blockstack.org/references/stacks-cli, a newer version) say that is where the private keys are stored.

Payment keys I think are the transaction signatures in Blockstsck, there's not much we can do with those.

You should try using blockstack-client (it is a python binding of blockstack https://pypi.org/project/blockstack-client/, it's the one that makes a json file like the one you showed, when a wallet is created and pesters the user to export it to a file). It needs Python 2 to work.

1. Install Python 2

Code:

sudo apt install -y python2

2. Install pip for python 2

Code:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py

2. Install blockstsck-cli

Code:

pip2 install blockstack-client virtualchain==0.14.0

3. Save this wallet JSON you posted to a file, like wallet.json for example.

Code:

{"encrypted_master_private_key": "ef242kfjj24ekf3223jesdkhefsfhk324wuefhw38fhrypofhtr34d342132d34jsd49",
"wallet_password": “kljsef9832nkfssf”}

Note: I have changed master_private_key to encrypted_master_pricate_key. It for some reason doesn't read the master_private_key field but when it sees encrypted_master_pricate_key, it uses wallet_password to unlock it.

4. Run

Code:

blockstack set_advanced_mode

and type "on" to access the inport_wallet command.

5. Run

Code:

blockstack import_wallet wallet.json

, it will import your wallet from wallet.json and display your addresses.

6. To get the private keys run

Code:

blockstack wallet

It will show you output like this:

Code:

Enter wallet password: PUT THE wallet_password HERE, IT IS NOT ENCRYPTED
