QT Wallets and extracting the ONE Private Key: How to do it?
In my early Steemit days, I obtained a few small bits of crypto from @vanessav’s airdrop [giveaways](https://steemit.com/smartcash/@vanessav/get-10-free-smartcash-smart-coins-cryptopub-weekly-crypto-airdrop-is-here). The coins never amounted to much but it was fun getting a few of this and a few of that.

Almost a year later I’m trying to consolidate all these small bits of crypto and extract the private keys. Many of them use the basic QT wallet which sits on my laptop computer. 

For almost a year I have had these wallets just sitting on my laptop but now I want to get at those keys.

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmRoN47eXiYeyjjDmiTAf1ScEQ28nZEK4A6LHoQJxuYqZY)

I figured that you can get the private keys by using the Help/Debug Window/Console command and then using the dumpprivkey command in the format:
<center>
***dumpprivkey receivingaddress***
</center>

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmdeHgC1BcZTTKVQSjUKFc6BjHyGeEsr7V9dkfsNNi9gkL)

In the example below (SmartCash QT Wallet) I have TWO listed receiving addresses.

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSFrHsjYiAMvMTMa6EADirHUXCvU3igDpGkDB8sR98mcZ)

I can gain the private key for both but which is the MASTER private key for my current funds of 1601.57508959 SMART? I get **TWO** different private keys if I use these individually,

Can I use either at a later date to recover my funds?

There is another option to use the command:

<center>
***dumpwallet “c:\keys.txt”***
</center>

If I do this I get a whole load of ‘private’ keys in this text file. Nothing is ever simple is it?

What  want to do is essentially gain the private key for my Smartcash, print it out and be able to use it sometime in the future with the **importprivkey** command on a different computer.

![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmeuQFkwjYkc3LomAWp1d6C4fVUTPCDKH5Csv5bHZuS2bk)

To the first person who can explain to me just WHICH is my private key for **ALL** my funds of 1601 SMART, or explain to me how all this works I will award a **FULL** comment vote.

It's funny that you should post this.  I was just looking at a bunch of my airdrops the other day.  I was trying to figure out what I should do with them.  Most of them are so insignificant it doesn't really matter I guess.  Remember ByteBall?  I hope someone is able to help you get this sorted out.

I sold ymy Byyeball ages ago, well sent it to Bittrex and traded it for Bitcoin. 

These QT wallets I have for several crypto's such as RavenCoin etc.. and they are all the same. Nobody had tet answered the question and Im sure its not all that hard.

I wish I would have.  I think it is worth all of about $2 now.
