What you don't understand with pywallet?
Do you have windows? Do you have python installed?

Code:
Python 2.7.4 [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
  • Type "exit()" to exit Python
  • Type "c:\python27\python.exe c:\path\to\pywallet.py --web"
  • Write here what you see


We can also teamviewer a bit if you want

FWIW I'm developping a new pywallet where you just have to run a .exe
It's coming soon

You know you're not supposed to type path\to, right?  You have to type in the actual file path.

You must paste this in the window that pops up when you hit windows+R
And you must change "c:\path\to" to the real folder where the file pywallet.py is located

BTW before doing anything, please backup your wallet


Edit: you can also use a new software I'm developping (it will replace pywallet soon)
It's just an exe to double-click

Thanks, but I don't understand. It means I must creat file: pywallet.py from wallet.dat, using pywallet exe ?
