can i import blockchain.info wallet into electrom?

[pooya87]

blockchain.info explains how to import into multibit client by importing the wallet backup which is a .json file
i checked electrom but it didn't have any means to import such files
so is there any way to import my blockchain.info wallet into Electrom?

Electrum discourages importing private keys, as they are not covered by the seed.

Many people forget this, and lose bitcoins.

The best way to move your funds from blockchain.info to Electrum is the following.

1. Setup Electrum, write down your seed on paper, then copy the first receiving address.
2. Log into blockchain.info, send your total balance to the copied address from #1.

You can always export your keys out from blockchain.info and import them into electrum and you will have all your addresses there but as explained above it is discouraged. So just chose an address from electrum and send your funds to it from blockchain.info

For better security, read about cold storage and paper wallets.

It's a different site and not affiliated with blockchain.info. I only gave you the reference link because it explains import/export features quite well. Don't make/use wallets or access your wallets from their. Always use the original identifier which you received when you made the wallet with blockchain.info. Don't confuse the one with the another.
