run

Code:

bitcoind listaddressgroupings

identify those addresses containing non-zero bitcoins/satoshi
use

Code:

bitcoind dumpprivkey ADDRESS

to get the privatekeys

That's what I originally tried, however dumpprivkey wasn't implemented in this Bitcoind, it was too old. I ended up using pywallet to extract the private key, apparently its the only way.

Alternatively, upload your wallet.dat to blockchain.info.

It kept on saying that I entered the wrong password, even though I was entering the correct one. Maybe its an old format of wallet.dat? *shrugs*

~/.bitcoin$ bitcoind dumpprivkey blah
error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"}

~/.bitcoin$ bitcoind getinfo
{
   "version" : 32400,
   "balance" : 0.00000000,
   "blocks" : 0,
   "connections" : 0,
   "proxy" : "",
   "generate" : false,
   "genproclimit" : -1,
   "difficulty" : 1.00000000,
   "hashespersec" : 0,
   "testnet" : false,
   "keypoololdest" : 1393101789,
   "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
   "errors" : ""
}

I've tried moving the wallet.dat file to a machine with a newer bitcoind installation, but it isn't working. Any idea how to fix this?

Have you tried using pywallet to dump the private key?

Alternatively, upload your wallet.dat to blockchain.info.
