Title: Export transaction history?
Post by: jbreher on July 07, 2016, 02:57:23 AM
I am decommissioning an old phone. While I can just send bitcoins out to an address generated by other wallet, that works only for the stored funds themselves. I would like to also save the transaction history. Is there an option for generating a .csv or similar from the transaction history?

You can backup your wallet to e.g. Google Drive, then restore it on the new phone by installing the app and tapping the backup file in the Google Drive app.

It won't restore some metadata like labels though.

Thanks Andreas. I'm not, however, looking to move it to a new phone (I've jumped to iOS). I am just looking to capture a transaction history in human-readable format, so I can handle capital gains tax at end of tax year.

Sounds like I am out of luck?

Which wallet are you using? I use mycelium and they have an option to export transaction history. Maybe you can check it out. I don't know of other clients.

I thought that in posting my query on the sub-forum dedicated to the Bitcoin Wallet for Android (i.e. Schildbach) wallet, it would like be clear that I am asking about the Bitcoin Wallet for Android (i.e. Schildbach) wallet.

But maybe it wasn't clear.

I am trying to do this regarding an existing installation of the Bitcoin Wallet for Android (i.e. Schildbach) wallet, which is installed on a phone I am decommissioning.

Your best option is send a wallet dump to yourself. Use Options > Settings > Diagnostics > Report issue and tap "Report", but in the generated email replace our email address with your own. You'll get an email with an attachment.

Cool! At first glance, this seems to have worked. Attached to the email was a 'wallet-dump-<<inscrutableinteger>>.txt', which looks promising as to being a repository containing all transactions. That sound correct?
