I mean other people's hardware
Glad it worked
Is it faster than bitcoin-qt?
Is it faster than bitcoin-qt?
It is a bit faster, but from what I learned on this forum, it is not because it is faster
but because bitcoind works slower ON MY COMP, then it does on other people's software.

It works.
Thank you VERY MUCH
b) I'm not sure, give it a try. If not, it's because when you import a private key, you also need to import the public key. And calculating the public key from the private key takes some time. So I don't think you can do anything to be faster
I thought you were importing a single address, that was odd it didn't work
I think I see what happens, you surely didn't format the test.txt file correctly
A line must be like this:

I run --web, I see the directory (c:\users...) and name (wallet.dat), I type the path to import file (d:\Temp\test.txt).
It displays "File imported", VERY fast. Like 500 keys per second.
I cannot use bitcoin-qt. The whole problem is - it is too slow. I was hoping, pywallet imports keys faster, as I have a large list: store, customers, list of keys for each etc. It can easily be 10,000, which means overnight processing in bitcoin-qt (it does 1 key per second with rescan set to false).
BTW:
a) should bitcoin-qt be that slow?
b) will pywallet be any faster, if I fix the problem? Because if it does not, I need to look for another solution

Are you sure you import keys in the same wallet that you dump?
If you can't see the address in the dump right after the import, there's definitely a problem.
How do you import? Something like 5j82Ds8... or an hex key (14d1b5a40c7e...) ?
If you need to solve this quick you can import through bitcoin-qt. I'd still like some help/info to fix it if it's a bug.

Hi,
I have installed this thing. It runs the wallet from the default location. Windows.
It reports success when importing private keys.
But a) I can not see them when open wallet with wallet-qt, and
b) When I use pywallet to DUMP, keys are not there either.
Any suggestions?
