Nop it has been completed

Sometimes problems solve themselves.

If you still want to change to Electrum the easiest and safest way to do so is to make a transaction to one of your own electrum addresses.

If using electrum make sure you have a proper backup of the seed, e.g. on paper at different places and/or in digital form in an encrypted container with a reasonable strong password.

Well what do you guys say i should chose?

I suggest you go back and read the very first comment that I left you on this thread.

I also suggest that you get a trusted friend or family member who is capable of comprehending the things that they read and asking them to assist you.

Alright now i understand what you are saying. I chosen https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/ wallet since it lightweight so i can use the money straight away. Whats the next step? Cheesy

Thanks for the support !. I know my grammatic is bad Sad

It was multibit a few seconds ago. Armory is not lightweight, it will require a fully syned bitcoin core.

Ill just give you some time to think abour your new wallet instead of writing something that is completly wasted because you decided to change your mind.

funny thing is i dont know how to get my private key or what so ever,

That's ok. We can tell you that.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:39:03 PM

So if i change my wallet by choosing one that doesnt need any downloads and get that private key to the new wallet it means i get the bitcoins i bought today to get on my current wallet onto the new one ?.

I'm having a difficult time with your grammar and so I'm not exactly certain what youa re asking. But if you are asking if the bitcoins that you bought today and sent to an address in Bitcoin Core will show up in the new wallet after you export the correct private key and import it into the new wallet, then the answer is yes. This has already been explained to you multiple times. How many more times are you going to ask that question?

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:39:03 PM

If so, how do i do that?

I've already told you, more than once, the method is different for each wallet. First you need to choose your new wallet and let us know which one you've chosen, then we can help you export and import your private keys. I'm not going to waste my time explaining the dozens of methods that are necessary for all the wallets that you are not going to choose.

Are you high? If so, please go away and come back when you are sober. I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself and re-stating things that have already been stated.

You've already stated this. Why are you saying it again?

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

Also i never done transcation

You said that you already sent bitcoins to the wallet. If so, then that required a transaction.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

so... What should i do now?

I've already answered this.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

just wait to sync?

That is one option. And given how little you understand in the first place and how much difficulty you are having comprehending the things that are being said, it is probably your safest option. You really should spend some time to better learn what you are dealing with before you get involved in something that has the potential to cause you to lose money.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

Or What?

Or import the private keys into some other wallet. I already stated that.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

I have never had bitcoins until this day

That's obvious.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

and it still aint on the wallet because of the sync.

Correct. You've already stated this. Why are you saying it again?

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

Now can i ge tthat money that i sended to the bitcoin core wallet to another wallet?.

Yes. I already told you. If you export the private key and import it into a wallet that doesn't require synchronization, then you can move access to the bitcoins to the new wallet.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 01:13:23 PM

Trying to quickly do something that you don't understand is a great way to mess things up.

Danny allready told you what to do. Choose another wallet [1] that does not need the full blockchain, export the correct private key from bitcoin core into the new wallet software. If you need help with the export import process, write again after you have decided for a wallet.

Your best bet is to wait until you are synced. Once you are caught up you could chose a wallet that does not download the blockchain. There are some security considerations with some wallets. Unless you have complete and sole control of your private keys, you do not quite have bitcoin. The entity who does have control must be trusted to not just walk off with your money.

You probably trust a bank with your other money already, so it may be alright. I use the balance as a guide. On my phone I keep like a hundred bucks worth and must trust the wallet. My main stash runs only on bitcoin core, and is almost always stored offline. I trust no one with that money.

Alright THanks ! Do you maybe have a how to tutorial for this?

I believe I already said:

Quote from: DannyHamilton on November 26, 2014, 12:13:55 PM

The process for importing the private key depends on the wallet that you choose. If you can't figure out how to import the private key after you've chosen a new wallet, then come back and let us know which wallet you've chosen. Then someone should be able to give you useful instructions.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 12:41:42 PM

And the private key is the passphrase right?

No. The private key is the information that the wallet stores for you and uses to create transactions. Without the private keys that the wallet is storing, the bitcoins are permanently inaccessible. Most wallets hide the private keys from you, and manage them for you. However, most wallets also provide a method for exporting those private keys so that you can import them into a different wallet if needed. The process for exporting and importing private keys is different for each wallet.

Quote from: koekkoek on November 26, 2014, 12:41:42 PM

also i readed something about Bootstrap.dat that it would be way quicker to synch if i dowwnloaded that.

That is only quicker if your network connection is slow. If your computer is slow, then bootstrap.dat won't help. I already explained this when I said:

Quote from: DannyHamilton on November 26, 2014, 12:13:55 PM

That depends on the reason that your sync is slow. If you have insufficient disk access speeds or insufficient RAM, then the only way to improve the sync speed is to upgrade your hardware. If you have a slow broadband internet connection, then there is a copy of the blockchain that you can download via torrent. If you install that copy of the blockchain on your computer, then you can significantly reduce the sync time by eliminating the need to download most of the blockchain during the sync process.

Quote from: DannyHamilton on November 26, 2014, 12:13:55 PM

So i did putted in the right folder restarted bitcoin wallet but it still synch from network..

I suspect that you probably didn't follow the instructions properly for installing bootstrap.dat.

You should be very careful if you are going to be messing around in that folder without understanding what you are doing. The database that the wallet uses to store your private keys is in that directory. If you accidentally delete it or damage it and you don't have a good backup somewhere, then you will permanently lose access to any bitcoins that have been sent to that wallet.

Well my wallet is current reporting my bitcoin balance as 0. I did send bitcoins to the Bitcoin Core wallet, but it hasn't shown up there yet because of the synch. Will switching to another wallet make the new bitcoins show up on the new wallet as well? Or am I losing the new bitcoins then? I'm kinda confused.

Fixed that for you.

Now, to answer your questions:

Quote

Will switching to another wallet make the new bitcoins show up on the new wallet as well?

If you export from the Bitcoin Core wallet the private key associated with the address that you had the bitcoins sent to, and then import that private key to the new wallet, then the bitcoins will be accessible from the new wallet. If you don't import the private key, then the bitcoins won't be accessible from the new wallet.

Quote

Or am I losing the new bitcoins then?

As long as you don't lose the private key associated with the address that the bitcoins were sent to, you won't lose the bitcoins. If you lose that private key, then the bitcoins will be lost forever.
