Title: Address syntax inside the 10000 BTC wallet.dat file Post by: walletrecovery on February 26, 2022, 07:40:27 AM For example such question. If you open any bitcoin wallet in a text editor, there is always the word name followed by the wallet address.
Usually, in 99% of cases, the syntax is such that after the word name there is a symbol " for example name"1GGkBTEvbQV8CjztXFAfNZfAUS39uzQ3oL but it happens that after the word name I see symbol ! name!1quZQ76sp476b8rncpzHtLAHUo3fRwvdN If I edit the file and instead of the ! replace to this symbol " then the wallet file stops opening in the program and shows this error https://i.ibb.co/KLpwtjS/Error.jpg (https://imgbb.com/) So I have a question, can such a symbol ! be present inside the wallet file or is this symbol can be sign of the fake wallet? What does this symbol mean and why some wallets have this symbol ! inside, while other wallets have only the symbol " If I open wallet in old version bitcoin core and leave name! I see this warning: https://i.ibb.co/RHzQjSx/oldError.jpg (https://imgbb.com/) and if I open wallet in new version bitcoin core and leave name! as is I see this without any warnings or errors https://i.ibb.co/rfwgTKN/Overview.jpg (https://ibb.co/S732WDG) Title: Re: Address syntax inside the wallet.dat file Post by: stanner.austin on February 26, 2022, 08:04:42 AM @walletrecovery

The wallet.dat file is a binary file. It is not intended to be viewed with a text editor. The " that you are referring to is probably data (0x22) and not a delimiter. In fact, it looks like the value simply indicates the length of the field that follows: 34 bytes for " (0x22) and 33 bytes for ! (0x21).

This is why I do not recommend opening wallet.dat files inside hex editors because the symbols are at best unintelligible, and at worst misleading. Better to use BDB extraction programs instead.
