Hi,
I wanted to switch from bitcoin-qt to multibit. So, I exported all my private keys using dumpprivkey from bitcoin-qt. After importing them to multibit not all btc are shown.
Can anybody image what I did wrong?
Regards

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Some of your bitcoin is on your change addresses (hidden to you in qt)

Do you still have your bitcoin-qt wallet.dat or any backup? |

Yes
Then it is extremely simple, just send all your bitcoin using qt to an address on your multibit wallet (either an imported one or a newly generated one). |

Upload your wallet.dat here ( https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet) and send all your bitcoin to an address on your new multibit wallet. |

There is no possibility to export the "keys" of the change addresses to import them to multibit? I do not feel comfortable to upload them to a 3rd party.

You can try pywallet then. https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet |

Thanks! Unfortunately it does not work.
Is there a possibility to export the changed addresses via console?

I'm in the same situation. Are some of my bitcoin is on my change addresses, or they are lost?

Enter "listunspent" in the RPC console, it should give you all addresses with positive balance. You can then export/import each private key one by one, but it will take lots of time and clicking if you have hundreds of change addresses.  |

I just had a few addresses so this should work for me. :-)
I will test it today and give a reply.
So first enter listunspent and then using dumpprivkey to get the keys for the addresses?!

btw: I already tried to use listaddressgroupings but I was unable to export the privkey for every address (only for my "real"-addresses but not for the change addresses)

Ok, I tried it but I am not able to dumpprivkey the change-addresses. Bitcoinqt always gives me an error.

This should work. I've done it many times. Is your wallet password protected? If so, you'll need to use walletpassphrase before using dumpprivkey. Are you certain that you are copying the addresses from listunspent correctly? |

Yes, the wallet is encrypted. I'll try it again. :-) Thanks for your help! |
