Re: bockchain.info - where is my private key

I just got my second account to start fresh. When you log into blockchain.info it is quite clear what your public key is because it is printed large on the webpage.

I was told if blockchain.info goes bankrupt I still have my bitcoins b/c I have the private key. Where is this private key? It is no where to be found on the website?

Thanks

When u log into blockchain.info, u'll see a Paper Wallet icon in the bottom right corner. Just click on it and save your paper wallet in PDF form. The private key is in WIF.

How do you use the private key from that PDF file ?

You could scan the QR code with your phone, or your could print it out and scan with your webcam.

I would not recommend trying this buy you could also manually type in your private key into QT or blockchain (this would probably result in a lot of frustration, but it is possible)
