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 likeapt-get
orbrew
:sudo apt-get install bitcoin-cli
orbrew 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.

Navigate to your project directorycd /path/to/your/project
Convert wallet.aes.json to bitcoin-qt/wallet.datcryptography.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 directorycd /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.
