Hi,

I like to have my blockchain wallet in multibit software.
1 year ago there was no problem to recover from blockchain backup to multibit.
now it´s different (?)

multibit wants a .wallet file. but blockchainbackup is a .json.


can anyone telle me for good how to proceed?


thanks

By far the safest way to accomplish the move is to just send your coin from the blockchain wallet to the MultiBit wallet.  To do this..

* Download MultiBit, start it and let it fully sync with the blockchain;
* Set up your wallet in MultiBit and encrypt it with a strong passwork; then,
* Send your bitcoins from the blockchain wallet to the MultiBit wallet.

You can even do the sending in two or more pieces, if you don't want to make the transfer in one large transaction.  When I first did this [Coinbase -> MultiBit], I sent a tiny test amount first, then the balance that I wanted to move.

This procedure will cost you only a couple of cents (transaction fee) for each transfer.  But it's incredibly easy to do and much safer!

the Blockchain.info says after installing Multibit go to tools > import private keys > import file
navigate to the backup and rename it to *.aes.json
you can find this in the first page that appears after loging into Blockchain.info, i think you have to click on download at the bottom right

Yes, this procedure is easy but it's not recommended if you worry about your privacy. Unless you use a laundry machine but in this case it will cost you a little bit more.
