Title: Question about recovering corrupted BTC wallet
Post by: Gramps on January 29, 2014, 11:05:46 AM
Hello everyone,

Here is my situation:

1. I had a bitcoin wallet and put some coins in it.
2. I made a backup of that wallet
3. I added passphrase encryption to the wallet
4. I added more BTC to the wallet
5. Some time later that wallet became corrupted
6. I tried to restore the wallet from the original backup that was made before encrypting it.
7. Only some of the coins were recovered. The coins that I put in the wallet after adding passphrase encryption are not present.

Is there anything that I can do to recover the coins that were added after I encrypted the wallet?

Have you tried to use -salvagewallet for the corrupted wallet?
Have you tried to use pywallet.py ?
