Just says

Cannot load wallet (1):
WalletFileException('Cannot read wallet file. (parsing failed)'

Might be just a watching wallet

There's a "seed" in the plain text but it's just a random code, not a list of words

I'm pretty sure it used to work with old version. I have to try installing something from before 2.0

i have an old electrum.dat and newer versions will not run, and i dont know what old versions will open it. I found some page which says they are upgraded automatically during an update but thats not helpful if i already have the latest version isnt it? nothing to update. how do i convert the electrum.dat into a modern wallet file manually? or what version of electrum will open this for me?

I've been trying to install the right version of python and packages etc to run pywallet all morning, it's just error after error. even tried an "installer" and it just tries to grab packages and times out. all I want to do is get private keys from an old wallet.dat. can someone just make a simple gui or something? why cannot i just extract them using notepad? I just need to know which numbers are the private keys. someone let me know what to do. thanks

edit: i think this was actually made with an early version of electrum... somehow i have to convert it or find an old version of electrum that can read it

I've been addicted to certain warcraft 3 custom maps for 15 years and I've always liked the thought of paying 12 people a small amount of money to play a map with me at a certain time (especially nice if they all speak English and agree not to d/c), and wished someone would develop a platform like this. But it could be used for other things. Let's say I wanted every object in the British museum photographed. I'd upload some money to the platform and then decide how it gets shared out to each user who submits such photos to me. Maybe there are other ideas where one could pay large groups of people small amounts for a collective work project?
