Hi,
I was having space problems with my hard drive and after reading about the new block prune feature of the official client I gave it a try...
I only realized afterwords that you can use your walled with this feature enabled... to late.... the block chain was pruned and I will need to re-download it again.
On my connection it will take days :-(
My idea is to backup the wallet and import the keys in multibit but...
Every time that I start bitcoin, it stays in the splash screen downloading the block chain... :-(
Is there a way to avoid that step and start the client just to do a wallet backup?
Cheers
MC
Do it offline or just let it sync in the background. You can access your private keys via the console without the blockchain data.
