Hello and Happy New Year, Please help; I am not a developer but have been advised by a developer to seek out the bitcoinj wallet tool to enable me to read / print / access / dump(???) the private keys to my small holding of Bitcoin.
I purchased a couple of Bitcoin in 2014 and used to the UltraCoin (Reggie Middleton) wallet to store them since. I sold 0.5BTC earlier in the year (boo hoo) so it works for sending BTC but its become outdated and is not truly a dedicated BTC wallet, rather a trading platform. I would like to import my wallet into a current, dedicated BTC wallet, such as Blockchain, Electrum or something. The creation of Bitcoin Cash has aroused my interest at this time. I would like to be able to access it and my current wallet does not allow this. >From what I can discern from various forum posts, simply sending my BTC to a new wallet would not give me contol of my Bitcoin Cash. I need to import my wallet manually using the private keys, I think! I have been advised that the wallet I'm using 'UltraCoin Client' uses bitcoinj and keeps wallet information in com.google.bitcoin.params.MainNetParams.wallet file. I can find the wallet file on my (Windows Vista :( ) but can't read the private keys. Please, please,please, can somebody please advise me - if the bitcoinj wallet tool will facilitate a non-developer like me to safely read/print the private keys so that I will be able to import them elsewhere - is there a link that I can download such a tool (to run on Windows Vista)? - are there any steps I should be aware or weary of? If you've read this far, fair play to you! Thanks very much, Mark Dunne Dublin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bitcoinj" group.
