According to the guide I posted, you should be getting your darkcoind from:
https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/raw/master/rc/darkcoin-0.10.11.6-linux.tar.gz
This would also mean you should be running 10.11.6 rather than 9.11.6
I'm sorry if it took me a while to get back to you....I've been SUPER busy with work lately. I will subscribe to this thread so I am notified of any further post and will answer them as promptly as I can.

I have never encountered this problem before. I am going to offer some suggestions or things to try...sorry if some of it sounds a bit "stupid," for lack of a better word. I'm just trying to eliminate some possible issues.Hi ScioMind, thanks for the replyI downloaded the tarball you linked and used the 64bit binary included but unfortunately I'm still receiving the same error when I issue the 'darkcoind dumpprivkey <darkcoin 0th address>' command. Any ideas?
When you issue the dumpprivkey, command, I am assuming you are not including the <brackets>. You should not be. Also, I am assuming that you are directly copying and pasting the address, rather than trying to type it all in by hand. I am not sure if it would make a difference but be sure there are no extra spaces before or after the address.
You should also verify that the address you are trying to get the private key for is actually IN your wallet. First you need to list all the "accounts" in your wallet, and then you need to list all the addresses for each account. You should see your 0th address somewhere.
darkcoind listaccounts
(Then for each account, remembering to omit the brackets
darkcoind getaddressesbyaccount <account>
Before you installed darkcoin, did you update your system as follows:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Let me know if any of this helps.
Hi ScioMind, thanks for the input. When I'm issuing the dumpprivkey command I'm not including brackets, nor extra spaces. I'm copying/pasting the address and I've tried it with/without quotes. I can definitely see the address in my wallet (only address in there, it's a brand new wallet) and copied/pasted directly from the 'getaddressbyaccount' ouput for the dumprivkey command which results in the same error. The system (Ubuntu 14.04) has all of the latest packages installed and is running the latest kernel obtained from 'dist-upgrade'.
I'm curious if there is a step that has been left out or out of order in the guide that's causing this as I've followed it very closely.

I have to admit I really don't know why you're having this problem. To my knowledge, no one else following my guide had this issue. The last possibility I can think of is that perhaps this needs to be on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, rather than 14.04. For my own setup, 14.04 is on my remote server, but 12.04 is on my local machine -- which is the machine from which you are issuing the dumpprivkey command.
If you are getting to the point where you have no other ideas, perhaps you could do a fresh install of 12.04 and see if it works then.
I have been googling this issue and can't seem to find any good clues there either. Please keep me posted about your progress...I want to see you get this running, and would like to know how you resolve it, assuming you do.

Code:
darkcoind dumpprivkey <0th address>
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Private key for address <0th address> is not known"}This error happens when wallet is locked also.
So please check again if wallet is encrypted.

cVYSADMVHMFhHFfLZPrpVi1PdoxuFV6yAkXKCKFF4k3dXPD57FLSHello, just wanted to touch base on this topic. We decided to go with using a Mac desktop for the LOCAL cold-storage side and that seems to be working just fine however we ran into a different issue which I created a separate thread on.
Thanks everyone for their input and assistance
