Title: Trouble with pywallet (recovered and partially recovered wallets) Post by: bret on November 28, 2013, 06:07:45 PM Hello,
I am unable to post or reply in an area likely to be seen by jackjack but I am having some trouble with a recovered wallet and partially recovered wallet from a crashed HDD. My recovered wallet is showing a balance of 0.00BTC and my partially recovered wallet appears to be useless. I am really unclear on how I use either of these files. I copied the recovered_wallet.dat to my Bitcoin folder and renamed it wallet.dat, did a BitcoinQT --rescan and it shows no balance. I am unable to get the partially recovered wallet to do much of anything. Also in my recovered wallet folder I have the following files drwxr-xr-x 272B Nov 20 05:53 .bitcoin -rw-r--r-- 2.1K Oct 31 02:18 README -rw-r----- 10M Nov 19 20:13 log.0000000001 -rwxr--r-- 337K Oct 31 02:18 pywallet.py -rw-r--r-- 4.7K Nov 19 20:13 pywallet_partial_recovery_1384920810.dat -rw-r----- 16K Nov 19 20:13 recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat contents of .bitcoin -rw-r----- 24K Nov 20 05:53 __db.001 -rw-r----- 200K Nov 20 05:53 __db.002 -rw-r----- 264K Nov 20 05:53 __db.003 -rw-r----- 96K Nov 20 05:53 __db.004 -rw-r----- 736K Nov 20 05:53 __db.005 -rw-r----- 56K Nov 20 05:53 __db.006 What do I do with the files __db files in .bitcoin? Can I dump or some how salvage the files in partially recovered wallet? If not, what is the purpose of this file? How do I dump the keys from my recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat and is there any way to determine the approximate age of the keys in that file? Should I be able to locate some of my send/recv addresses in either of those files? Thanks! Can someone please point jackjack to this thread, I would greatly appreciate it.

pywallet_partial_recovery_XXX.dat is just a file that records the places where pywallet found some data. It avoids having to rescan the whole disk (which is kinda long) if something crashes. The __db files is something that is due to my too light understanding of the bsddb library (which is the format of bitcoin-qt wallets) I copied the recovered_wallet.dat to my Bitcoin folder and renamed it wallet.dat, did a BitcoinQT --rescan and it shows no balance. How many keys did it manage to recover?How do I dump the keys from my recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat and is there any way to determine the approximate age of the keys in that file? The regular way, recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat is really a wallet.dat (pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat or something like that)Should I be able to locate some of my send/recv addresses in either of those files? They should be in the recovered_wallet_1384920812.dat, try looking at the dumpTitle: Re: Trouble with pywallet (recovered and partially recovered wallets) Post by: bret on December 10, 2013, 12:13:49 AM Should I be able to locate some of my send/recv addresses in either of those files?

Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.
