I misunderstood the instructions and believed the walletpassphrase command was to decrypt my blockchain wallet to enable it to be imported. I now understand and have successfully imported my wallet. Thank you to all that helped.
I am trying to import my blockchain wallet in to bitcoin-qt. I enter the walletpassphrase command in the debug window under the console tab in the bitcoin-qt client. This is my first time importing a wallet and I am just following the directions on the page whose link I posted earlier.
Thanks for your help. I was thinking of importing my wallet to bitcoin-qt. Should I use a different program? It seems that to import my wallet I have to know my private keys, but I only have the backup wallet.aes.json file. I have found the mywallet.py tool, but am unsure how to use it to get my private keys. Is this the best way to get the keys?
I thought coin control allowed me to select which inputs from a single address were to make up the output I want to send. Is this wrong? When I use custom in blockchain I can only select the addresses I want to send to and the amounts I want to send. If I click review payment and then show advanced I am able to see the inputs, but am not able to select which specific inputs I want to make up the transaction.
I am trying to consolidate my outputs to avoid fees, but I can't figure out how to use coin control with my blockchain.info wallet. Is this even possible? If not, how can I consolidate my outputs?
