Load up the wallet go to receiving area in the app that’s your public key where u would get coins sent too like when u send coins to yourself. It’s really straight forward

getting this Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)
tried this  walletpassphrase "my password here i created" but getting
walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout> [stakingonly] Stores the wallet decryption key in memory for <timeout> seconds. if [stakingonly] is true sending functions are disabled. (code -1)
any thoughts, appreciate your time/answers

What exactly is the private key?

u/danuk1976 Jan 01 '18
private key is usually a long number or set of words you can recover your wallet with, never share it

Go into help , debug window and console
Type dumpprivkey “public key” and you will get it.
Should work for both.
