Error in console when trying to unlock my wallet (Bitcoin Core)

[Bitnoob12345]

Hi friends,

I am trying to move BTC from Bitcoin Core to Electrum. I got the adress and know there is balance when I looked at the adress on blockchain.info. I need to unluck the wallet before I can use dumpprivkey in console. The Bitcoin Core client is not fully synced yet. I get the following error code:


Example:

Walletpassphrase fg,91iK

Error: Error parsing JSON:,91iK



Any suggestions on what to do?

Enclose your password with single quotes. The JSON parser will parse the string you enter and it is confused by the comma there.

It says I have to add an amount of timeout to it, so I did that but got "Null" in return. And after a few attempts I get "Method not found" with an error code.


For example:

Walletpassphrase 'fg,91iK' 600

Null



Any ideas?

That means that it worked. walletpassphrase will return null when it is successful. If it is not successful, you will get an error.

Thank you so much! The single quotes and misunderstanding null was the problem, at last I received my privkey.
