ℹ️ Meanwhile, I changed the Core Wallet Migration Tools to combo-import for more address type support (according to my original Proposal: Add importprivkeys RPC ). Furthermore, I released the Core Wallet Maintenance Tools , including a script for extracting private keys from descriptors. Created it for Namecoin a while ago, but published it now on request for both, Bitcoin and Namecoin. Regards, Uwe blocktraveler schrieb am Donnerstag, 23.
