Anyway, I followed your advice and the Client just crashes every time I try and put my encryption password and dumpprivkey cmd into the PRC Console.

Could you post the debug.log file?

You can also try using pywallet: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet. There are instructions at that link to get pywallet running, but it does require you to use the command line. You can run it with the web interface --web option and should be able to export the private keys from there.

Spent most of the afternoon trying to research then follow JJ's pywallet approach which you suggested. I found one of your very detailed and step by step posts on how to go about the whole dl process and thought... hey... even I can do this. but as I confidently opened up cmd and typed in ez_setup.py I was met with: 'ez_setup.py is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.' uninstalled everything and started again, making double sure I followed your instructions and downloaded the correct files but same again.

went to RPC console on my syncing wallet and entered: "dumpprivkey " Well this time at least the wallet didn't crash, but I got no response to my command either, tried it all ways, putting : passphrase 600 first then the dump command and vice versa, its doing nothing but I guess at least its not crashing..... groan....
?
went to the debug notepad in datadir and it doesnt look like there is anything in the last few minutes related to these commands Sad

I am assuming you have a windows operating system.

Try installing your Bitcoin Wallet v0.8.6 beta into a different folder to the one it's presently installed in. Afterwards right click the bitcoin-qt.exe and select "Create shortcut" from the list that appears. Right click the shortcut and select "properties" from the list that appears.

Click the "shortcut" tab in the properties window, then look for the first text box in it labelled "target". Copy the line of text below and paste it to the end of whatever is in the "target" text box.

-datadir=.

Make sure you copy the leading space and trailing . from the line of text above.

The text box should look something like this.

Afterwards click the "apply" button, then the "OK" button to close the shortcut properties window.

Put a copy of your wallet.dat file in the same folder as the bitcoin-qt.exe shortcut, then double click the shortcut you created to start bitcoin-qt.exe running.

Hopefully it should start without any error. The procedure above makes a portable bitcoin-qt wallet that doesn't use any of the files in appdata.

Could you post the debug.log file?

You do not need to run the wallet to open the debug.log file. The file is in your DATADIR (the place where you normally find your wallet.dat file).

Anyway, I followed your advice and the Client just crashes every time I try and put my encryption password and dumpprivkey cmd into the PRC Console.

Thanks for that advice,
During my search on this subject I saw you give pretty much the same advice, although a little more detailed to another member re the same problem.

The wallet.dat file is a Bitcoin Core specific thing, just as the Electrum wallet format is an Electrum specific thing. In order to move your Bitcoin to Electrum, you will need to export your private keys by using the dumpprivkey RPC command. You must use this command for all of your addresses, including change. Then you can make a new Electrum wallet and go to Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep and sweep the Bitcoin into your new Electrum wallet. Sweeping makes a transaction that spends all of the Bitcoin from the private keys you specified and sends the Bitcoin to an address in your Electrum wallet.

Hi Fellas,
Have a v0.8.6 beta wallet containing 2.5 Bitcoins that is out of sync by 148 weeks. I just worked out that at my current internet speed, it will take minimum 7 days and 8 hours to sync with the network. It is currently syncing but seems really unstable, keeps crashing for whatever reason and I have to restart it.

I have just downloaded a new and clean Electrum 2.8.3 wallet on another computer.
So my question is:

can i copy and paste the wallet.dat file from the QT wallet to the Electrum wallet in Apps/roaming, reboot and hey presto funds transferred? If not, is there a way that I can transfer contents of wallet A to wallet B and access the funds before the QT wallet has synced with the blockchain?

cheers,
Kev
