Post by: Chemisist on November 25, 2013, 03:29:08 PM If you know the default prefixes for the various alt-coins (e.g., btc, ltc, wdc and mnc addresses usually start with "1", "L", "W" and "N", respectively) you can just open up the .dat file in a text editor (notepad, notepad++, etc.) and look for the addresses in there. I think that you can find the addresses by searching (ctrl+f) for the text string "name" and a bunch of addresses should be listed near that. Then it's just a matter of figuring out what cryptocoin the wallet belongs to depending on the first character of the address. Good luck!

Because I tried recovering a Worldcoin wallet after formatting partitions ... I got lots of recovered keys with pywallet but all start with "1" Title: Re: have a "wallet.dat" but don't know which *coin it belongs to?

I thought it could work anyway ... The creator of pywallet told me it should recover all coins, not just bitcoins. I wish there was some way to recover non-BTC wallets.
