Convert the Ethereum wallet on Bitcoin-QT Billlet
In this article, we will conduct it through the process of transforming the Ethereum portfolio file (`wallet.aes.json
) into a local Bitcoin-QT portfolio. We will use the “Cryptography” tools `Bitcoin-Kli
and `xml2js
commands tools.
Previous requirements:
- Install the required packages:
* Cryptography" (Python) using PIP:
PIP Instal Cryptography
*Bitcoin-cliin Linux or MacOS, using a tool such as" apt-get
or Brew
: ‘sudo apt-get install bitcoin-cli’ o ‘install bitcoin-cli’ installation ‘
* Xml2js
(javascript) for analyzing JSON files
- Remember to have an Ethereum wallet file in a clear format.
Step 1: Convert the Ethereum portfolio file to the Bitcoin-QT format
First, we convert the Ethereum portfolio file (“wallet.aes.json) in bitcoin-QT format. This will be done using the "Cryptography" y
yy
packets.
`Bash
Go to the project catalog
Cd/path/to/your/project
Transform wallet.aes.json a bitcoin-qt/wallet.dat
Cryptography.
''
- Replace/Path/to/Your/Project
to the royal road to the project catalog.
This command will create a new file calledBitcoin-QT/Wallet.dat. It is a Bitcoin-QT portfolio file that can be used for local storage.
Step 2: Check the conversion
To check if the conversion has been successful, we need to check that the portfolio in both formats coincides. We can use the "bitcoin-cli" tool to compare two files:
Bash
Go to the Bitcoin-QT portfolio directory
CD/Path/to/Your/Bitcoin-QT/Wallet
Compare two wallets (NOTE: It may be necessary to install the "XML2JS" library around the world)
Bitcoin-cli drop-format-format Bitcoin-QT
''
This command will print the content of Ethereum and Bitcoin-QT wallets. If the data is identical, the conversion was successful.
Additional tips:
- Make sure you have appropriate permits to read and write files in the portfolio directory.
- You can use "Cryptography" to generate a new portfolio file if you need it from scratch.
- Consider any changes in bitcoin-QT format because it is not directly compatible with Ethereum.
According to these steps, you should successfully convert your Ethereum portfolio file (wallet.aes.json
) to the local Bitcoin-QT portfolio.
