Transfer from Bitcoin Core to Electrum

[jammyjam]

Hi, I am trying to transfer my bitcoins from Bitcoin Core on one computer and onto Electrum onto another computer. I am doing this because it is taking too long to download the entire all the blocks on bitcoin core.

I tried to do the following walkthrough: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transferring_coins_from_Bitcoin-Qt_to_Electrum

Once i did the dumpprivkey no other key popped up. I am wondering if this is normal?

I then followed another guide except this is for the litecoin core which should be similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4sQWhA4NHQ

Also, my bitcoin core client states: "Warning: This is outdated and network-inconsistent software. Also, the alert system has been deprecated. Upgrade is strongly recommended. See https://bitocin.org/alert-retirement"

OK my bad. I entered the wrong passphrase. I have obtained the private key. I tried to entire the private key into the sweep function of Electrum. I received a message stating that "No input found (Note inputs need to be confirmed)" What does this statement mean?

There is on private key per address. If you want to export more than one key, try dumpwallet[1] (you might have to update first).

Your version detects that there are new rules in the network it does not know about. If you want to switch clients, you can ignore this.

It means there are no coins on that address. Maybe they are on a change address now.

Alright. Thanks for your help. I have re-done the dumpprivkey function in Bitcoin core with another address and obtained a new private key. The new private key was inputed into the sweep function of Electrum. I then broadcasted the transaction. I now have a unconfirmed transaction in my Electrum history menu. Thanks for your help buddy.

You are welcome, make sure you sweep all keys.
