Title: Sent bitcoins from Localbitcoins.com wallet to Bitcoin Core wallet Post by: rdstrk on May 20, 2015, 11:13:30 PM So I bought some bitcoins @ localbitcoins.com and sent them to my Bitcoin Core wallet but
I had massive issues with this wallet, it never finished syncing and ended up with no block source available. Now I'm wondering, where can I get my bitcoins?

Then you can import those private keys into some other wallet once you decide which wallet you'd like to use.

Edit: Wher is the option to extract the private keys? Do I have to use some kind of command in console?

Edit: Wher is the option to extract the private keys? Do I have to use some kind of command in console? Bitcoin core wallet.dat is incompatible with Electrum. A simple guide to export private keys from Bitcoin core to Electrum. • Launch your Bitcoin core. • Click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right). • Click on 'debug window'. • select 'console' tab • Type dumpprivkey <Bitcoin address here> and press "Enter/Return". • This will give you private key of the Bitcoin address you entered in previous step. • Copy this and import into Electrum. • Wait for Electrum to sync completely. • Now you can send Bitcoin from your address. See https://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_import_addresses_from_other_Bitcoin_clients.3F for importing private keys into Electrum. |
