Migrate from Eleos Wallet to Zclassic Electrum

in #zclassic7 years ago (edited)

Original guide is here, this one is an attempt to make it clearer.

For this you'll need:

From the Eleos Wallet export your wallet file. To do this got to File / Backup Wallet and click Save.

Even if an error window appears, the specified path now has the backup.

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaugh Exception: Error: EACCES: permission denied

Ignore that error. You can check your back up is complete with:

ls ~/eleos-wallet.tar

Use walletaid to extract the private keys from the wallet backup:

#download walletaid
wget https://github.com/z-classic/walletaid/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd walletaid-master/

# bring in the wallet backup
mv ~/eleos-wallet.tar .
tar -xvf eleos-wallet.tar
mv zcl-wallet.dat wallet.dat

Edit the config.ini file so that it looks like this:

[settings]
pubkeyprefix = 1cb8
privkeyprefix = 80
compressed = yes

#pubkeyprefix list
#Bitcoin: 00
#Dogecoin: 1e
#Garlicoin: 26
#Litecoin: 30
#Reddcoin: 3d
ZCash/ZClassic: 1cb8

#privkeyprefix list 
#Bitcoin: 80
#Dogecoin: 9e
#Garlicoin: b0
#Litecoin: b0
#Reddcoin: bd
ZCash/ZClassic: 80

Now execute walletaid like this:

python walletaid.py

At this prompt just type enter.

Paste address to search with CTRL+V. Leave blank to get all!
Address:

Now you can use any editor to open the generated file foundkeys.txt. Modify the file so that it only lists the private keys.

If you are using vim you can use these replacements:

:%s/Private key: //g
:%s/Address.*\n//g

Now in Zclassic electrum you can load the file with all the private keys.
