Ahoj,

I wish to export my identity ("private key") to import it to another firmware or to another device if I switch my device but want to keep my identity.

In the MC-Term menu I only can see my public key, so I cannot write down/ copy-to-clipboard.txt my private key.

How can I do that?

Feature wish:

  • Ability to show private key on the display,
  • save private key on the SD card,
  • ability to manually set private key (manually input, and read from file on SD card).

Regards!
