Any way to load a headless wallet key into GUI wallet? #36

Open Crypto2 opened 5 years ago

Is there a way to load the mnemonic key from the headless wallet into the GUI wallet? It's going to take days for our headless wallet to sync and need to send some funds pretty soon.

I tried restoring from it in the GUI wallet but it said there were no active addresses for it.

It should be possible to transfer the funds out without fully synced, you just need to use light node.

I don't know if it is safe to change bLight on and off on half-synced full wallet, but you could stop the syncing and then make another user with conf.json like this:

{
    "bLight": true;
    "control_addresses": ["YOUR GUI WALLET DEVICE ADDRESS"];
    "payout_address": "WHERE THE MONEY CAN BE SENT TO";
}

After that you should be able to pair with that bot and use the pay command to transfer the funds out.

Not 100% sure, but I think your headless wallet is password protected, but GUI wallet assumes it is not.

Then again, with SSD and bFaster option turned on, full wallet should sync with 1,5 days.
