Tools for importing and exporting bitcoin private keys with coinpunk
Coinpunk doesn't currently easily support getting your private key out of your wallet for importing with other bitcoin wallets such as Multibit or Electrum.
This tool provides some command line utilities so that you can get your private keys out of Coinpunk, as well as get your keys into Coinpunk.
Installation
Install the tools via:
$ npm install -g coinpunk-tools
This will create two command line tools called coinbase-import
and
coinbase-export
.
NB: The email and password below are those that you use to login to coinpunk.com
Example Usage
Convert your keys into a coinpunk wallet
If you have a file called mykeys.key
which contains a newline separated file
of your private keys, then you can convert it into a Coinpunk compatible
wallet file by running coinbase-import
:
$ coinpunk-import [email protected] mypassword mykeys.key coinpunk-wallet.txt
Extract your private keys from a coinpunk wallet
Once you've backed up your coinpunk wallet, you can extract the private keys from it, so that you can import it into a third party Bitcoin wallet:
$ coinpunk-export [email protected] mypassword coinpunk-wallet.txt my-keys.key
