I started syncing a bitcoin-qt client, and had somebody send me funds to an address generated in the client.
I then stupidly decided to speed up the syncing process and downloaded a torrent of bootstrap.dat which I loaded into the client.
Now the client is not syncing.
I still have the public address that I had the funds sent to, and I still have the wallet.dat
I would like to get the private key out of the wallet and then import it into an online wallet to at least get these funds before I start again with a local wallet.
Can this be done?
nb: In the client the debug window option is greyed out and cannot be selected.
thanks!
It shouldn't matter whether you are synced or not, you should be able to export your key. How to do that is described there: How can I export the private key for an address from the satoshi client?.
