Title: Ethereum Recovery
Post by: sandy56 on May 06, 2017, 12:05:45 AM
Due to a confusion, some ETH was sent to an account I have in the Parity wallet. I do not remember where the account came from, never intended to use it, and have no password for it. I have since stopped using Parity.

I googled this extensively and tried to get pyethrecover to work for me with no luck.

The fact that it is done in Python does not help as I am not very good at either Python or Linux.

If I could just get a routine in C that verifies passwords, then I could write the front end for it and run the recovery program from time to time and try to get it back.

Is anyone able to help.

All I need is a procedure or method that given a specific wallet file such as mywallet.json and a password to try against it that either returns a valid or not valid response for the password written in C or C# that is complete. No imports.

I could not get pyethrecover to compile for me due to imports either not being found or compiling with errors and it is written in Python.

C# would be the best for me then I can use the Microsoft IDE.
