Title: Extracting private keys from wallet.dats? Post by: michaeladair on April 08, 2015, 02:21:51 PM Is there any way to extract wallet keys without having to turn off my wallet and change wallet.dats? I'm wondering this because here has to be an easier way if I'm stuck with a ton of wallet.dats, I'm wanting to code a bot to do this for me and put em all in a text file. Any ideas?
