Hi,

I have a wallet.dat, and I bitcoin-qt is stuck in limbo, so I tried to import my wallet into blockchain, but I don't know how. https://blockchain.info/fr/wallet/import-wallet doesn't work, so I used pywallet (dumpwallet) and I have the output of the command but how do I use this ? Is there a way to export the wallet.dat to mulltibit, electrum, or blockchain.

Please someone can help me.

I never tried it, but Multibit seems to support importing wallet.dat directly

You can always sweep the private keys.  But you should just figure out what's wrong with bitcoin-qt.

It can import private keys but not bitcoin-qt's wallet.dat.  To import your wallet from bitcoin-qt to multibit you need to first export your private keys from bitcoin-qt using the dumprivkey command and then import those keys into multibit.

open up bitcoin-qt. go to your console. make sure your wallet is unlocked and then type "dumpprivkey"

take your private key, put it in a text file and save it as whatever.key

launch multi-bit, settings->import private key, select the whatever.key

give it about 10-15 mins to import and you're done.

congrats merry christmas happy new years bro chicken dinner on me
