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

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?

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
