Title: Importing multiple private keys into Bitcoin Core? Post by: Snatdard usre on December 08, 2014, 06:55:57 PM Hello,
is there any method how to import multiple(~10000) private keys into Bitcoin Core? Currently, if I do it manually(open console, type "importprivkey <key>") it takes 2 minutes to import, which is totally unacceptable. Or are there any other(non "light") BTC wallet software, which allow to do it? Thanks. Title: Re: Importing multiple private keys into Bitcoin Core?

If you really want to, then I suppose you can use the rescan=false option on the importprivkey command. This should prevent it from scanning the entire blockchain when it imports the private key and will therefore speed up the import. "light" wallet simply means that it doesn't store the entire blockchain. If you are willing to use a "light" wallet, then private keys should import quite quickly since there won't be a need to scan the entire blockchain.

Wouldn't importing a private key into such a "light" wallet incur the time to fetch the blocks containing related transactions for those keys, from the network? Or am I mistaken in some way?

Post by: Snatdard usre on December 09, 2014, 10:25:35 AM Many thanks for replies, I think "rescan=false option" was what I was looking for. I need this because my bitcoins are stuck in Electrum(damn it :) ), so the only way I can think of - export private keys(10000) and import them into non light software.

Code: "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" importprivkey L4mP3joYEhSv1ofdsWbz8xEmqCmYK9vGyi8mJmWWbh79Xx2NsS1M addr-1DfyaDvr-1 false Title: Re: Importing multiple private keys into Bitcoin Core?
