btc in stuck in wallet.dat

[kitcar765]

Hello

I have a wallet.dat file from bitcoin-qt

my computer wont support the size of the chain anymore
and i want access to my bitcoins in that wallet.

How do i get my bitcoins out of the bitcoin-qt wallet.dat file so i can move them to my multibit wallet?

Regards
Rob

either use blockchain.info and upload the file into your online wallet there or pm ask for a nice member with good trust to do it and pay them a fee
vm1990 did it for me charged 0.02

after creating a wallet. click wallet at the top of the page then import/export wallet.

Usernam/appdata/roaming/bitcoin-qt

show hidden files you will see .dat wallet

Usernam/appdata/roaming/bitcoin-qt

im using my old computer at the moment as my new-one fell to bits.

I cant seem to find the wallet.dat file from my old hard-drive. the wallet.dat file i have (which is empty once i uploaded to blockchain) must be from when i tried to add bitcoin-qt to the current laptop im using (and be empty because of it)

where can i find the wallet.dat file on my hard-drive? it was a windows 7 computer, will it be a hidden file? how do i get to it?

i have tried looking through the directories and cant find any .dat files at all?

program files (x86)
program files
perftlogs

trust is as good as a tip just a bit harder to spend XD

given you some trust

i originally bought in when bitcoins were £30 each ($48)

with a small amount, i have always seen a huge value in BTC i personally think its the greatest invention since the internet.

But to see other people value it as high as i do, has brought be back to add to my small BTC holding.

I must be one of millions who with tiny amounts of BTC who now feel that BTC has past from being a super-high risk novelty to a serious game changer.

i sold my 10btc when they where 15gbp each (did buy them at 10 though) i firmly regret not keeping them but bitcoin is very unpredictable
