When you import a wallet.dat to Blockchain, all the addresses that was included with the wallet.dat gets recorded to your Blockchain.info wallet, If you want you can transfer the funds to a different address.

Or you can use Multibit

I could import wallet.dat to Blockchain.info https://blockchain.info/fr/wallet/import-wallet from here but why It doesn't require connecting to my account there ?

Blockchain.info will create a new account when you import wallet.dat file. AFAIK, you can't import wallet.dat file to an existing wallet.

And If I manage to import it , will I have all addresses that I had on .dat to my Blockchain.info account ? I mean I can sign messages from my Blockchain.info of all addresses I had on Bitcoin Core ?

Wallet.dat backed up will contain all addresses. But, if you have a backup of wallet.dat before you used 100 addresses, then you need to get a new backup of wallet.dat.

P.S. I missed your later question. Yes, you can sign any message using all the addresses you own which you had on Bitcoin Core.

Or .. is there is any wallet.dat reader ? basically convert it to string or something so I can read it using Notepad and I copy private keys and do whatever I need to ?

Gracias amigos Sad

You can use Pywallet. In fact, I recommend it. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pywallet-22-manage-your-wallet-update-required-34028

I recommend you to dump private keys using Pywallet and then, sweep Bitcoins from it to Electrum or create a new Electrum wallet to import those private keys. If you still insist to use Blockchain.info, click "Import / Export", click "Import Wallet" and then paste the output you got after running pywallet.py --dumpwallet.

Yes, if you import it back into a fresh bitcoin-qt installation, you can use dumpprivkey.

Yes.

No mate (for your first answer) , I need something else because Bitcoin Core is totally screwed on my PC and takes always time to reindex which doesn't really worth it I'am looking for something fast .

for your second answer , well I don't have option to import .dat on my blockchain.info account , I only have that link from google to the Import wallet.dat page and if I import , how it will get linked to my account that I already have ? Huh

Now and after I upgraded to Windows 10 & as some of you have seen my old threads here and know the high Paranoïa that I have ... I made a blockchain.info wallet , I sent about 0.25 BTC to that wallet which means I have only one address on that account for now .

Beside the 0.25 BTC which are on my btc wallet , I have a backup of my wallet from Bitcoin Core .
I need to basically send funds to my Electrum wallet and I know I could do the following :

for the 0.25 BTC I could just send it but for the .dat it's something else because Electrum don't allow importing it .

I could import wallet.dat to Blockchain.info https://blockchain.info/fr/wallet/import-wallet from here but why It doesn't require connecting to my account there ?

And If I manage to import it , will I have all addresses that I had on .dat to my Blockchain.info account ? I mean I can sign messages from my Blockchain.info of all addresses I had on Bitcoin Core ?

Or .. is there is any wallet.dat reader ? basically convert it to string or something so I can read it using Notepad and I copy private keys and do whatever I need to ?
