trying to figure out how to import a wallet from a backup made directly from the client. A wallet.dat
I dont see any way to import it in the main client.
Ive poked around and tried to install pywallet but I cant find a .exe
I tryed to import it into blockchain.info but there isnt a tab that lets me select the file. It wants me to copy and paste it in but when I open it in notepad is all gibberish.
