The NMC client and the encrypted wallet were stored inside the encrypted Ubuntu home directory of a linux installation running inside a virtualbox virtual machine.  
Last month i decided to format my computer, before doing that i copied the virtual machine file .vdi on an external NTFS hard disk.
At some point the fu.cking linux showed the copy process as completed, the .vdi file was shown inside the external HD and i stupidly decided to unplug the USB and format my computer.
When i later tried to restore the .vdi file, i remount the external HD with the backup and i found out the .vdi file i needed was not there anymore, it has never been copied apparently.
I did a recovery of the ext HD with photorec, it has found some .eCryptfs files that i succesfully mounted and decrypted.
Now amongst these files i have found 1 that is very similar to an NMC encrypted wallet but it has only 8 "ckeyA" strings inside instead of >100 so i think i have my severely damaged NMC wallet.
I couldn't find the mkey record inside that file which i don't know if necessary to decrypt btw, can i recover some private keys from what is left of my original wallet?  

PS: before you suggest, trying a recovery from the original HD is impossible at this point, i formatted my computer more then one time and at some point i've also filled my hard disk with new data.
 

BTW i found  8 "ckeyA" strings inside my wallet, the problem is my wallet is encrypted and i don't know how to extract the private keys from those fragments of text and i don't even know if that's all i need, together with the wallet password, to restore at least those 8 private keys.

No luck   

Hi guys,

i'm trying to recover some of the private keys contained in a corrupted NMC encrypted wallet.

I know the passphrase.

I've already tried with this tool https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet and the following command:

sudo python ./pywallet.py --recover --namecoin --recov_device /path/to/corrupted_wallet.dat --recov_size 1Mo --recov_outputdir /home/username/Desktop/recovery

No success!

I've also tried to open and read the wallet with an hex editor to see if i could somehow understand its structure and isolate some private keys but i couldn't really understand anything of that, i can see only 8 "ckeyA" strings are present but NO "mkey", the file looks badly corrupted but only one private key contains namecoin so maybe i can recover that one only.

I'm willing to reward with 2 BTC if someone helps me to recover the private key i need.

I'm posting in the bitcoin section because i think NMC wallet format is the same as BTC wallet format, i hope this thread will not be cancelled or moved,

If you need further information please ask.

Thank you.

Does anyone know how to use this tool to recover Namecoin private keys from a corrupted encrypted wallet?

I've already tried to run the following command but everything it returns are Bitcoin public and private keys.
sudo python ./pywallet.py --recover --namecoin --recov_device /dev/sdb --recov_size 16Gio --recov_outputdir /home/username/Desktop/recovery

Has bittrex stolen all my coins? I cannot see them anymore in my balance.

So, what should i do with the bittrex coins?
Should i leave those coins deposited over there?
Or should i try to setup a wallet and withdraw?

What can be done to resurrect this coin?
What can we do do not be delisted from bittrex?

fucking scammers!

I have maryjane coins on bittrex what should i do to withdraw them?
Will bittrex steal all my coins on 9/1/2016?
Is this shitcoin dead?

What's going on with this coin? Trading is halted on bittrex, says blockchain is broken, can i withdraw my coins?

Selling a big portion of the business while promising i will do this and that and 2 weeks later closing down the exchange without reason or justification can be considered scam?
IMO it is scam!

And what about the DOGE haircut?
Realsolid made the users pay for HIS mistake in that case!

What about the startcoins he lost and never refund, because he was too busy traveling the world and left the exchange on autopilot for one month forgetting to update the wallet?

What about the promise of converting existing solidcoins into shares of a new coin, what about that promise?
He's been selling solidcoins to his users for one year and one day said fuck, you're gonna have nothing back greedy bastards!

I can go on and on, there's little doubt Realsolid IS a scammer.

Maybe "enlightened" is not Realsolid, but who tells us he's not just a low paid figurehead and Realsolid isn't still there running is new brand scam in the background?

This is just RealSolid coming back under a different name, setting up everything for his next scam.
People be aware of this exchange!

Wow, is this crap still alive?

Altcoin market rebounds after Craptsy went bankrupt, poor Vern 

Fuck you Craptsy, fuck you BigVerm!

Exactly what i was thinking!

DOGEBTC exchange rate at crapsea is 10% higher then bittrex, poloniex and BTC38.

People's buying DOGE like crazy to get money out, same shit was happening with MtGox few weeks before the collapse.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out BigVerm himself is arbitraging DOGE on his own exchange.

Can't wait for them to go bankrupt.

Main topic still is crapsea insolvency.

Some fool just deposited again?
