OK, so the paper backup is just a print out of the public and private keys for an account.

phrased the aother way round: with those private keys you can access the account (owner) and it's funds (active)

OK, so the paper backup is just a print out of the public and private keys for an account.

If you know how to use the javascript console, you can dump the private key for any of your public keys (permissions: owner/active/memo) by doing


WalletDb.getPrivateKey(PublicKey.fromPublicKeyString("BTS...")).toWif()


Thanks for the replies, appreciate it.

One quick follow up. I've been trying to figure out how to do a paper backup of my new wallet since BM mentioned on a mumble that it can be done. Any idea how to do this, I don't seem to see where I can do this.

Thanks

nop .. the brain key is used to derive your private key ..
you could in theory pick a brain key and get new accounts from that .. but since people are bad (and I mean really bad) at picking words at random .. you shouldn't dare trying ..

Assuming words don't have to be selected from a predetermined list ..

$ cat genbrainkey

#!/usr/bin/env bash

x=0
brainkey=""

while [ $x -lt 16 ]; do
  brainkey="$brainkey $(openssl rand -hex 4)"
  ((x++))
done

echo $brainkey


$ ./genbrainkey

Just wondering if it is possible to change the brain key phrase?

Thanks
