Creating transactions manually?

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

I no longer have any space on my drive where my copy of the blockchain is, so I cannot afford to run Bitcoin-Qt anymore. What are the available ways for me to use my wallet.dat file in conjunction with some program to create a transaction manually or automatically and just send it to someone to broadcast for me?

Just to let you guys know I am not very up to speed on how to create manual transactions.

you can use bitcoin-qt without the blockchain (just with the wallet.da) to create transactions.
Use createrawtransaction for this.
Then you can broadcast the transaction using for example http://blockchain.info/pushtx

Yes, with Armory it's even easier to only create transaction. Although you wont get you Balance updated.

Why not just use a client, like electrum or multibit if you are incapable of running a full Node anyway?

Free up some space or move the bitcoin-qt folder to a partition that does have space. If you do the latter you can start up bitcoin-qt using the datadir switch to point it to the new partition:

This approach is preferable to creating raw transactions because with raw transactions a lot of things can go wrong.

I don't have space on my drive. It's all been used up with important data. I can't free anymore.

Encrypt & upload online to multiple places?

First backup your wallet.dat file. Then try either of these approaches:

1. Import your wallet.dat file in a new blockchain.info wallet. Then you can spend the coins.

2. Safer method. Delete all the blockchain files in your bitcoin data directory to free up space. DON'T delete the wallet.dat file. Use pywallet to extract all the private keys and import them into a new electrum wallet. Spend your coins as you see fit.

I'll tell you this, I don't think I ever want to use Blockchain.INFO, something is terribly wrong with that website for people to get hacked so often even with 2factor and whatnot authentication.

I plan to try Electrum, though it uses a central server.
