Title: Old Wallet Format Circa May 2011 Post by: Paperweight on December 15, 2018, 04:31:24 AM Hey guys, I have an image of a partially corrupted hard drive that might have a MultiBit wallet on it from May 2011. Does anyone know the wallet format that I should scan for?
It would be from version 0.1.x or 0.2.x, but I can’t find any binaries of those online. I take it that it used a serialized format, but anything more specific would be very helpful. Magic bytes? Was it plaintext? JSON? XML? Update: I traced it back to using version 0.1 or 0.2 of the bitcoinj library, which I found sort of a mirror of here: https://github.com/bitcoin-labs/bitcoinj-minimal/blob/master/core/Wallet.java Title: Re: Old Wallet Format Circa May 2011 Post by: bartekjagoda on October 08, 2019, 06:47:58 PM Hey guys, I have an image of a partially corrupted hard drive that might have a MultiBit wallet on it from May 2011.
