Title: Offline paper storage of private keys
Post by: cubicdissection on August 07, 2014, 04:12:44 pm

I always back up my private keys securely offline but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to do that with BTSx.  I'm logged in to the wallet but when I run "wallet_dump_private_key" it just says "command aborted".  I'd really like to have my keys so I can add them to my secure files.  Any help appreciated.
