Title: my client crashed... Need light weight wallet Post by: bitdragon on March 07, 2013, 09:22:07 AM I got faced with the following error on my ubuntu:
EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE CAutoFile::read : end of file bitcoin in AppInit() EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE CAutoFile::read : end of file bitcoin in CMyApp::OnUnhandledException() I read elsewhere that I should delete the block data as my power plug got pulled with no battery on my laptop likely resulting in some error in the block download. On my current system, I have 4 blk*.dat files of 2gb each roughly. Is this normal to have so many blk files? -Where can we get the expected size of these blk.dat files ? -Overall, I have 300MB left on my current system and would like a light wallet option ? thank you !

A light weight is Eletrum, where you don't download the blockchain, and all the info you need from the blockchain is got from an Eletrum server. Title: Re: my client crashed... Need light weight wallet Post by: bitdragon on March 07, 2013, 11:58:28 AM thanks.
I have my electrum with a new wallet. Dare I ask how to import my existing/old wallet into this Electrum? It is asking me for my private key. My research online has lead me to PyWallet. Do I need to dive into that inorder to exctract my private key? I would imagine my wallet has more than one private key correct? Title: Re: my client crashed...

PyWallet works well for what it does, but to ensure smooth usage of PyWallet it helps to have a strong technical background on what exactly the wallet file has. On the other hand Blockchain.info is drag and drop. Title: Re: my client crashed...

A wallet.dat can only be imported into a fresh wallet: https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet Title: Re: my client crashed...
