Merge two wallet.dat

[TAiS46]

Hello,

i have two wallet.dat files and want to merge it.
It there a simple option?
The one wallet.dat file hast 200mb and the other one 70mb.

It will be good, when I can do it in a fast process.
Maybe I can stop bitcoind 2 to dump the privkeys from the wallet.dat
and import them without stopping bitcoind 1 into the other wallet?

Thx Simon

Your idea will not wok, if you sent bitcoins with bitcoin-qt.
Because when you send some bitcoins, part of your bicoins goes to hidden addresses, which you don't know who they are to use the dumpprivkey.

and import them without stopping bitcoind 1 into the other wallet?

With Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind v0.8 you can do an importprivkey and rescan=true on the last one to import and it will rescan.  With versions prior to v0.8 it did a rescan after each import, or you could (and still can) force a rescan when launching the program.

listreceivedbyaddress will give all the addresses in which you've received funds.

Hm,

so maybe I will create a script that uses "dumpprivkey"
to get all keys and than a importprivkey "" 0 to import the key.

after that I will restart bitcoind with -rescan
