You can use listreceivedbyaddress to list out all the addresses which will include your change addresses. Then you can dump each address to get the private keys. If you want to include all addresses including empty ones, you would need to do "listreceivedbyaddress 0 true".

You will have to do each address one-by-one.

I believe that does indeed help.

If I dump the private keys it will include all my change adresses, right? I'd be surprised if it doesn't, I just want to make sure.

I believe you may have to import each address one-by-one into Armory. Not sure if you can import an entire wallet file or not. You can however, use functions within the console of QT to dump all the private keys ( Help > Debug window > Console > dumpprivkey your_wallet_address) which can be used to import them into Armory. You may have to unencrypt the wallet via the console first ( walletpassphrase ). The timeout is how long the wallet decryption key is stored in memory.

Hope this helps!

I have an old encrypted QT-wallet with a substantial amount of BTC on it. I also have a new Trezor that is configured and ready to receive funds.

I want to move the funds from my QT-Wallet onto my Trezor without any risk of losing the funds. Thus, I don't want to decrypt it on any computer that is connected to the internet.

My best option as far as I can see is to import the private keys to an offline computer with Armory, then use offline signing to send the funds to my Trezor.

Is this my best option? If so, is there anyone who have some experience with importing keys from a QT-wallet to Armory and could guide me in the right direction?
