The only way to "import" is to get the private keys and import them into Core. Or you can use Multibit to load the Multibit wallet and send the Bitcoin to an address in your Core wallet.

Bitcoin core only accepts key adress trough console not files to be imported.

Bitcoin core only accepts key adress trough console not files to be imported. Again, you can't import the files created by Multibit into Core. You need to import each private key through the debug console. You can only do this one by one.Title: Re: Multibit.wallet into wallet.dat Post by: HI-TEC99 on June 02, 2017, 04:43:06 PM Hey okay, i have exported private key file of multibit (multibit.key) but how can no i import this file into Bitcoin core? Bitcoin core only accepts key adress trough console not files to be imported. Open your multibit classic key file in notepad, copy the private key, then import it into core using the console. In the quoted example of the contents of a key file the private key is shown in red. Quote # KEEP YOUR PRIVATE KEYS SAFE ! # Anyone who can read this file can spend your bitcoin. # # Format: # <Base58 encoded private key>[<whitespace>[<key createdAt>]] # # The Base58 encoded private keys are the same format as # produced by the Satoshi client/ sipa dumpprivkey utility. # # Key createdAt is in UTC format as specified by ISO 8601 # e.g: 2011-12-31T16:42:00Z . The century, 'T' and 'Z' are mandatory # KwUVsx4nd4UTHUtNTPnLEEqapCFvNiBrVASBZPa1ZvStQbUD87VK 2017-03-26T01:36:45Z # End of private keys Title: Re: Multibit.wallet into wallet.dat Post by: janpec1000 on June 02, 2017, 05:15:27 PM Silly me, i was exporting password protected key file so when i was opening it in notepad obviously it was useless to copy adress. Redid it now without copied adress and it worked.
Thanks everyone for help. |
