Topic: HELP! REWARD! bitcoin core keep crashing - REWARD! (Read 1417 times)
i was only able to recover a fraction of my total btc i should have in my wallet.
I dumped all the private keys from all my received address' and sweeped them in Electrum
is it possible that more transactions will appear when the blockchain finishing syncing?
i have 3.3BTC in pending amount (correct perceived amount)
will I have to wait for the sync to be complete to know if my BTC is actually there?

You don't need to wait for any kind of sync in Electrum. And you probably forgot change addresses (shorena has that covered):
If you are exporting keys, just export all keys. Same steps as here[1], skip 6 since you have no password[2] and replace 7 with ( dumpwallet mykeys.txt )[3]. The file will be unencrypted and contain a list of all (including change) your private keys. Either import them all into a different wallet or swipe them one by one until you have all your coins back.

[2] seriously? Change that with your new wallet.

Yes. You always need to finish syncing to actually have the correct amount be there. Otherwise the wallet doesn't actually know about the transaction or whether it is confirmed. I dumped all the private keys from all my received address' and sweeped them in Electrum

when trying to sweep i am getting
No inputs found. (Note that inputs need to be confirmed)

You seem to be sweeping from addresses that have no coins. Check your addresses on Blockchain.info or Blockr.io and sweep only from those who still have coins.

7. Dump your keys. Do dumpprivkey for each Bitcoin address you want to dump your keys from (copy your addresses and place them after dumpprivkey, without the brackets too)
Do i get these address' from EACH old transaction in my transaction section on the btc core?
You get them from your receiving addresses tab

After step 6 on the debug window I get
18:08:32

Error: running with an unencrypted wallet, but walletpassphrase was called. (code -15)

You can skip the passphrase step, then. It seems your wallet had no password.

Step by step:

1. Install Electrum
2. Create a new wallet
3. Backup the seed of your new wallet to a safe place (ex: paper)
4. After creating a new wallet, go to Wallet - Private Keys - Sweep, leave this open
5. On Bitcoin Core, go to Help - Debug Window - Console
6. write walletpassphrase
7. Dump your keys. Do dumpprivkey
8. Insert these private keys on that Sweep menu in Electrum
9. Coins will be sent to an address on your Electrum wallet. You can now close Bitcoin Core and use your coins.
Will this work for all other coins, which are inferior to Electrum?
I referred Electrum just because it is a client I am familiar with... Not sure I understood your post, what do you mean by inferior?

Electrum and MultiBit are fine. No, you can't import the wallet.dat on other clients

You'll probably only need to backup your wallet.dat, delete the files and restart Bitcoin Core, no reinstall should be needed. It will then start resyncing.
I guess he would only get the same problem of his disk filling up again?
See OP:
How do I re-install the core without losing my btc?
The user asked how to get Bitcoin Core running again (and says he is a noob), so one thing at a time. And yes, around 70GB are currently needed for Core, the user is probably already aware of that.

so my process should be:
go to
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/
back up wallet.dat on my desktop. delete the rest of the files, then download and reinstall core?
Replace new wallet.dat with old and reopen the core?
Do I need to backup any other files?

it's now re-synicing with the network.
Is there a faster way for me to access my btc using my wallet.dat?
Will this give me the same problem if filling up my drive?
Yes, there is. You can dump your private keys and use them in another client. Yes, the blockchain takes up around 70GB, so be sure to have enough space for it.
