Very interesting.
How do I get my public key?
The multibit client provides a "Tools ... Export Private Keys" option.
And the qt client has dumprivkey.
But how do I get my PUBLIC keys?
There might be a manual there already, but:
" these can be extracted from the
bitcoin client or generated using the form below "
The link is an empty "javascript:;"
Via bitcoin-qt, click help, then click "Debug window", then choose the console tab, and finally enter the following command:
verifyaddress <youraddress>
It will then return some data, including a pubkey for that address.
Please keep in mind that it can only provide pubkeys for addresses in your wallet. Addresses that aren't in your wallet, will still return similar data but without a pub key.
Sorry about the dead link, I keep meaning to write a guide for it, I've been a little busy and not had time yet - I'll do it this evening though to avoid any future confusion.
Hope that helps.
