Perfect.......This worked.......Thanks a lot redsn0w!!

I am running Electrum V 1.9.8

I do not see an option to find my PUBLIC KEY under the Receive Tab.

I only see the option to get my PRIVATE KEY.

I am only trying to export my Public Key from my Bitcoin Address in my Electrum Wallet.

Anybody know how to do this......I did not think it would be this difficult to get the Public Key associated with my Bitcoin Address.

When I do that, it refreshes the entire page and has all the lines filled out with random numbers......It changes what I originally put in line 3 when I click Public ECDSA Key send button.


Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Every single Address I try.......I input the Hash 160 into Line 3 and click Send, then it just leaves the Public ECDSA Key blank.

Maybe I just don't know how to use the program.........I just need help extracting some Public Keys from my Bitcoin Addresses in my Electrum Wallet......It should not be this difficult.

No, it will not let me add the Master Public Key.......I need to find a way to export the Public Key for my Electrum Wallet Bitcoin Address.


I do not have an option to get my Public Key when I right click the Addresses Tab, it only allows me to access the Private Key with my Password.....I don't need my Private Key though.

I understand how to obtain the Master Public Key for my Electrum Wallet.


I also know how to get the Private Keys for my individual Bitcoin Addresses in my Electrum Wallet.


What I am having trouble doing is exporting and finding out what the Public Keys are for my Individual Bitcoin Addresses within my Electrum Wallet.


Can somebody please explain the process to me of finding out how to export the Public Keys for my Addresses in Electrum.


I am talking about the Bitcoin Public Keys that are related to my Bitcoin Addresses in my Electrum Wallet.


Is it safe to give out the Master Public Key for the Electrum Wallet Addresses?

Yes, I closed and reloaded the wallet right after the import of my private key....I did the -rescan on it and it did the trick....Worked like a charm.

Yea, after I did the Rescan, the balance updated itself.

Hey, thanks a lot man.....I appreciate the help.....It worked, well, the -Rescan trick worked, but the method that you gave me did not work for me (like you said, you had never done this on a Windows 7 OS before, so you were just speculating)....But if there are other people that is going to read this, here is how I did the rescan.

I right-clicked on the Bitcoin QT, the main file.....And where it says Shortcut, go down to Target and just add "-Rescan" to the Target at the end with a space in between the original and "-rescan".

Mine looked like this....


"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan



Anyways, I just wanna say thanks a bunch for steering me in the right direction and hopefully this thread will help some people in the future as well. Thanks again.


Just a quick question about Electrum.....You said it is more user-friendly.....The Electrum Wallet. If I were to use the Electrum wallet and had done a private key import, would the balance immediately been updated right after the import or would I have still had to restart the wallet program?

Just curious....I might switch over to that if it is smoother to use.

Thanks a lot, I do have the private key......But I have a question about the Rescan.....How do I execute a rescan?

Do I have to do it from the Debug Command, as if I were importing or dumping the private key?

What is the steps for doing the rescan?

That is my public address Express.....This was my very first time importing a key.....I mean, all it is going to do is add money into my wallet right? It won't delete the bitcoins I already have in my wallet, will it?

I assume it will just add the Bitcoins that are in the address that I just imported into my wallet that has bitcoins in it already.

I imported a private key to a wallet that was confirmed (by me and a third party) to have some Bitcoins in there, so when I went to import the private key for that address, it worked because now in my wallet, Bitcoin QT, under the receive tab, the address that corresponds to the private key that I imported was there, but the bitcoins that are still in the address are not showing up in my wallet..

Any idea what is causing this to not show up?

I am looking for the Source Code for the Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft.....As I understand, The Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft is an open-source program and I was just wondering where I could find that code.

I understand that BitEscrow and CryptEscrow have their Source Code published online which do utilize the Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft.

But I am looking for your original source code for The Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft.

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

And do you think that BitEscrow and CryptEscrow are what you had in mind when you think of the Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft, was the idea fully realized when BitEscrow and CryptEscrow released their services, is this what you had in mind and envisioned what would now be known as The Casascius Escrow Scheme Draft?
