Converting an Ethereum Wallet File to a Bitcoin-QT Wallet

In this article, we will walk you through the process of converting your Ethereum wallet file (wallet.aes.json) to a local Bitcoin-Qt wallet. We will use the cryptography, bitcoin-cli, and xml2js command-line tools to do this.

Prerequisites:

  • Install the required packages:
  • cryptography (python) using pip: pip install cryptography
  • bitcoin-cli on Linux or macOS, using a tool like apt-get or brew: sudo apt-get install bitcoin-cli or brew install bitcoin-cli
  • xml2js (javascript) to parse JSON files
  • Make sure you have the Ethereum wallet file in a readable format.

Step 1: Convert Ethereum Wallet File to Bitcoin-QT Format

First, we will convert the Ethereum wallet file (wallet.aes.json) to Bitcoin-Qt format. This will be done using the cryptography and bitcoin-cli packages.




Ethereum: How can I convert a wallet.aes.json file from Blockchain.info to a wallet.dat file?

Navigate to your project directory

cd /path/to/your/project


Convert wallet.aes.json to bitcoin-qt/wallet.dat

cryptography.openencfswallet -w wallet.aes.json -o bitcoin-qt/wallet.dat --format bitcoin-qt

  • Replace /path/to/your/project with the actual path to your project directory.

This command will create a new file called bitcoin-qt/wallet.dat. This is the Bitcoin-Qt format wallet file that can be used for local storage.

Step 2: Verify the Conversion

To verify that the conversion was successful, we need to check that the wallet data in both formats matches. We can use the bitcoin-cli tool to compare the two files:


Navigate to your Bitcoin-Qt wallet directory

cd /path/to/your/bitcoin-qt/wallet


Compare the two wallets (Note: you may need to install the xml2js library globally)

bitcoin-cli dumpwallet --format bitcoin-qt

This command will print the contents of both the Ethereum and Bitcoin-Qt wallets. If the data is identical, the conversion was successful.

Additional Tips:

  • Make sure you have the correct permissions to read and write files in your wallet directory.
  • You can use cryptography to generate a new wallet file if you need one from scratch.
  • Please be aware of any changes to the Bitcoin-Qt format, as it is not directly compatible with Ethereum.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully convert your Ethereum wallet file (wallet.aes.json) to a local Bitcoin-Qt wallet.
