I had a hard drive crash recently, but fortunately I backed up my bitcoin core wallet as of early November. However I did not back up the 145Gb+ of blockchain that goes with it. The last time something like this happened I had to re-verify the entire blockchain and it took me almost three weeks of letting the computer run overnight. Unfortunately I am stuck with the same slow computer for now. Is there any other, faster way to recover a bitcoin core wallet?

Rather than use Bitcoin core to get my keys from a wallet I tried this script posted by @sopaXT in thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2619534.msg26661685#msg26661685

What I got back was a list of bitcoin addresses followed by their private keys.

Noob question, in Electrum when it asks for keys do I provide both the private and public key?

In Electrum I am at the import screen that says:
"Enter a list of Bitcoin addresses (this will create a watching only wallet) or a list of private keys"

I just want to get my balance from all these addresses.

thx
