How do I generate that address for the dumpprivkey command?
That address is just any address that you have used that has Bitcoin that you want in Electrum. If you don't have any such addresses, then exporting the private keys is not necessary as you have not used any addresses.

I still don't understand which address should I use. One that I've sent bitcoins? Received?
?¿

Isn't there another way to just export the wallet.dat file and move it into another wallet without doing that dumpprivkey?

I want to move my wallet to Electrum, I'm tired of Bitcoin Core. It's too slow.
Is it possible to do that without waiting for the reindex to be finished?
Yes.

Start Bitcoin Core. Go to Help > Debug Window > Console. In the text box at the bottom type
Code:
dumpprivkey <address>
Where <address> is the address which you want the private key of. The output should be in black and be a single string that starts with a 5, K, or L. This is your private key.

DO NOT SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEY WITH ANYONE. ANYONE WHO HAS YOUR PRIVATE KEYS WILL BE ABLE TO SPEND YOUR BITCOIN.

Do that for all of your addresses.

Then start Electrum. You can either import your private keys or sweep them. Importing means you will still use the same addresses, sweeping will simply move all of the Bitcoin to an address in the Electrum wallet. I recommend you sweep.

To sweep, create a new normal Electrum wallet. Make sure you record the wallet seed. Then when the wallet is made, go to Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep. Enter all of your private keys, one on each line, and the wallet will automatically sweep the Bitcoin into your wallet.

To import the private keys, go to create a new wallet but instead choose "restore a wallet or import keys". Click next. In the box, enter your private keys, one on each line. Follow the rest of the instructions and you will have created a new Electrum wallet with your keys imported.

How do I generate that address for the dumpprivkey command?

Is there a way to bypass this reindexing thing?
Like, moving the wallet to Electrum or something like that.
I've been waiting like 2 days for the reindexing finishing.
It hog all my PC's resources.

There is no way to bypass reindexing. It is a part of how Bitcoin Core works. You can move to another wallet, but the wallet files are not compatible so you will have to export the private keys and import them elsewhere.

So I have to wait until it finishes reindexing by slowing down my computer?
I'm 35 weeks behind and it seems that it doesn't progress at all...
If you want to continue to use Bitcoin Core, then yes, you will have to wait for it to finish.

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.3 Released MANDATORY UPDATE on: January 04, 2014, 05:06:44 PM
~Today earth, tomorrow moon~

Have patience. This is the best 1 month launch in the history of altcoins. The community is amazing and there are a ton of people working on services to make dogecoin more useful overall.

Future is bright. Have no fear. Keep having fun.

We'll see...

I'm also living in Argentina right now.

I was introduced to cryptocurrency via Dogecoin (I know, I know...). But it made me very interested on the subject.

We are having a very hard time with our currency here. We can't buy dollars legally. We can't protect ourselves from the danger of our unstable economy, which is now contained artificially, but will burst at any moment. The banks are going to screw us hard, just like in 2001..

So I'm excited for cryptocurrencies, they can't be controlled by corrupt government like ours.
I'm really hoping that this is the future and not a speculation bubble...

It's too bad that Coinbase is only for US

I registered and verified my account but then I noticed that the bank transfers are not supported for my country.

Should had read more attentively...

So I guess the best way to earn money is buy cheap alt currencies and trade them?

Sounds like wallstreet to me
