    Hi,

    I'm having an issue with one of my QT-wallets. When trying to dump the private key for my address I get this error:
    "Private key for address DfbVmexCDLhbsSEGEjSXPAQXGhE7ECKghb is not known (code -4)" Why is this happening and how can this be solved?

    That does not look like a Bitcoin address.

    Q&A don't belong here; perhaps you can try https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com

    The address is not a bitcoin address, but i'm actualy looking for the problem that can cause this error. It happens with different people on different qt-wallets.. maybe there is something in the core qt-wallet that can explain this?

    If the address is not a Bitcoin address, then this response is completely expected.

    If this issue is not about Bitcoin Core, you're on the wrong site. Talk to the developers of the software you're using.

    ok, who can point me in the right direction for this one? I must be very much mistaking if I thought that the info, found on this location (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list) , particulary the dumpprivkey command and the linked errors to that command ,could be explained here..
