Title: Offline website app to show wallet.dat information in readable way
Post by: remotemass on January 23, 2014, 04:04:57 PM
Here is something I have not seen yet out there.
An app that you could use offline that would allow you to upload a wallet.dat file and would display all information, namely all key pairs in different formats, etc.
Basically, to allow one to have all the information of a wallet.dat in a very readable and debunked fashion.

Slightly confused ..... you want to upload your wallet somewhere, and for some software to to then display the content of that wallet? Wouldn't that compromise all the private keys in the wallet?

Excuse me, I should have said load instead of upload as I was talking about an offline app.
Maybe it could be a website that you could save and use offline, like bitaddress.org.
In that sense it would have an upload button, just as used on the web to upload a file, and you would use it offline  to load a wallet.dat file from your computer.
It could also be a regular system app, a win32 app, for instance. But is important, of course, that it is an open source.
I think a javascript app would be the best for it, though.

You can use the console in electrum wallet app to investigate the contents of the wallet, run various commands etc. Not totally "noob friendly" but .... this isn't the sort of things noobs tend to be interested in anyway.

Take a look at it.

Perhaps you might want to try using "pywallet" - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0 (apparently a new version is under development).

Sounds similar to electrum. In electrum you type in python commands. Here is complete list:

List of commands: contacts, create, createmultisig, createrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, deseed, dumpprivkey, dumpprivkeys, freeze, getaddressbalance, getaddresshistory, getbalance, getconfig, getmpk, getpubkeys, getrawtransaction, getseed, getservers, getversion, help, history, importprivkey, listaddresses, listunspent, mksendmanytx, mktx, password, payto, paytomany, restore, sendrawtransaction, setconfig, setlabel, signmessage, signrawtransaction, unfreeze, validateaddress, verifymessage
