Title: I cannot find a quick/convinient way to get bitcoins out of wallet.dat
Post by: J180 on February 11, 2013, 07:31:21 AM
I don't have several days to let Bitcoin-QT download the blockchain (while overheating/lagging my laptop).

I have tried Armory - which turns out to need a synched bitcoin-QT.

Tried Electrum - which can't import wallets.

Tried Multibit - which is supposed to import wallets but just gives me a long messy error when I do so.

Perhaps an Ebank can do it? I tried making an account on blockchain.info but it doesn't have what I'm looking for - the ability to upload a wallet.dat and have it available to spend. Has obscure options instead. I don't know what else can be trusted.

Anyone got a solution?

With the new 0.8 Version of Bitcoin QT it takes only a few hours to downloade the Blockchain.

Release Candidate is available: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=142151.0

The official release will be soon.

Also you could simply upload your wallet to blockchain and use an online client: https://blockchain.info/de/wallet/import-wallet

That's great, was easy just to drag it into the square. Didn't see it before because I thought you had to create an account first, turns out it creates a new one based on the wallet.
