The local pin root is stored at `/local/pins` [https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-pinner/blob/9e800d1363c2cb23b8f82b3b1f0685b83367103a/pin.go#L22](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-pinner/blob/9e800d1363c2cb23b8f82b3b1f0685b83367103a/pin.go#L22)

I also made a really simple datastore debugging tool [https://github.com/aschmahmann/ipfs-ds](https://github.com/aschmahmann/ipfs-ds). Running `./ipfs-ds get --base=base58btc /local/pins` will spit out the local pin encoded as a base58btc multibase (i.e. in this case it’ll be a CIDv0 with a `z` tacked onto the front of it)
