Hey guys, I recently bought bitcoin and put it in my bitcoin core wallet. However my wallet won't synch.. Atleast it does but very very very slowly. Does anyone know how I can import my wallet to another program and use my bitcoin to pay?

Thanks in advance

Well you can create online wallet at blockchain.info and import your BTCs over there for example.

But I recommend to wait until Core is sync. and then use your bitcoin

Either use a BC wallet or if you don't want to keep the coins online download a wallet like mycelium that doesn't download the blockchain.

Yes indeed - mycelium will not download whole blockchain to work.
You can use it too instead of Blockchain.info.

Did you really need to repeat what he just said?

Downloading blockchain may take very long especially on slow network, u can use blockchain.info, electrum or multibit. Avoid using unsecure pc/browser

And will I be able to just put my wallet.dat in it? And Mycelium is for android which I don't have. Is there a way to convert wallet.dat to text and put it on blockhain? Because I cant seem to import the file into blockchain.info.

You may want to download the bootstrap torrent instead of waiting for Bitcoin-Qt to sync normally, which would boost your download speed a bit and get it working more quickly. You could also try using Electrum, since it doesn't need to download the blockchain, but I still recommend using the Satoshi client for additional security.

You can import your wallet.dat to blockchain.info here. https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet
You can export your private key to any wallets as well.

Yes, just re-synch it. And get Electrum like Dare said.

just leave your PC on wait until you sync, it shouldn't take too long..
