Title: [SOLVED] Maximum number of private keys
Post by: Yazhubal on June 11, 2016, 02:59:02 PM
Hello,

I was wondering how much private keys can I import in Electrum ? Is there a limit ?

Thanks :)

AFAIK, no one has ever had any problems importing large numbers of private key and I can't find any limits to it.

You do need to create a wallet that is not tied with the seed. When creating a wallet, select Restore wallet>Standard wallet. You can place your list of encrypted private keys into the box.

I tried to import almost 13000 private keys but Electrum is crashing each time... I've got them all in a single file, maybe I should try by spliting the file.

So let say I import private keys in a wallet_1, is it possible to add more adress later in the same wallet_1 ? Or do I need to create a new wallet ?

EDIT : Finally importing the 13000 private worked but took a while  :)
