Title: If I install and use Electrum, then will I be able to export my bitcoins?
Post by: francuss on July 06, 2016, 04:33:54 AM
I plan to install and use Electrum to buy and store bitcoins.

In the extremely not probable case that no Electrum server is reachable form my location, and I want to move my bitcoins elsewhere, will I be able to do that without the help of an Electrum server?

For example will I be able to export my private key to a web wallet for using my bitcoins there? Or any other possible way?

Best

Exactly that way.



You'd use Wallet -> Private Keys -> Export (then decrypt your wallet, if you've encrypted it)
You'll get a list of all private keys currently included in your loaded wallet file and the according addresses.
You then can export those either by hand or as csv/json file.

Many thanks Lutpin. I really appreciate
