So I've been using a mobile wallet instead of bitcoin-qt or any of those other major wallets. I need to "sign" a message, but my app doesn't offer that.
I'm in need of a little help

Wallet i'm currently using : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en

I've read online, i can "decrypt" my wallet backup to get my privkey in order to use it with Bitcoin-QT...but how to do this, is wayyyyyyy beyond my capabilities.


does anyone have a solution for this?

You would have to download BitcoinJ and build the wallet-tool tool. This would let you then extract the keys from the encrypted wallet so that you can import them to another wallet.

No idea how i'd even begin to do something like that. I downloaded BitcoinJ from github, so i have everything to do it...but not exactly sure how to compile it into a workable program

The easiest solution is obviously to just transfer the amount of coins you need to a bitcoin-qt wallet.
