Title: Wallet file corrupt! Any help please?
Post by: l3sny on July 01, 2013, 04:09:26 PM
Hi

My wallets have just disappeared after I have restarted my Mac yesterday.
I have saved the wallets however I did not export the keys nor encrypted them.
Now when I am trying to open a one of them (say #07) I am getting this message:

Opening wallet "/Users/media/Desktop/CV/#08-20130630223650.wallet"...
... done.
Opening wallet "/Users/media/Desktop/CV/#09.wallet"...
... done.
Opening wallet "/Users/media/Desktop/CV/#10.wallet"...
... done.
Synchronised with network.
Opening wallet "/Users/media/Desktop/CV/#07-20130630223650.wallet"...
Could not load the wallet file "/Users/media/Desktop/CV/#07-20130630223650.wallet".
The error message was "com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException Protocol message tag had invalid wire type."

Has someone guys had a similar situation ? What is causing this ? Is there any chance to recover the wallet\get the private keys ?

Your help much appreciated
