Hey HCP, I did try that. The wallet is considered corrupted by the doge coin wallet - I was trying to follow this post: https://walletrecovery.info/how-to-recover-your-corrupt-or-deleted-bitcoin-core-wallet/ for recovery. (Trying to help a non-tech savvy friend get his coins back  Lips sealed but have limits to my time, kids etc. but also I'm not super xCoin savvy.)

Probably user error, but I've tried a few different tactics to get pywallet working with Dogecoin.

I've got a few old wallets we recovered from an old hard drive.

Is there any special option I have to pass in to get it to work?

Code:
python pywallet.py -d -w /<AREALLYCOOLPATH>/wallet.dat.r1 --passphrase=xxxxxx
WARNING:root:pycrypto or libssl not found, decryption may be slow
(22, 'Invalid argument -- __db_meta_setup: /Users/jono/pywallet/wallet.dat: unexpected file type or format')
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.
I've tried this, I've tried downloading the super old https://github.com/01BTC10/dogecoin-pywallet to a file pywallet_doge_old.py - and ran with this:

Code:
python pywallet_doge_old.py --datadir=<PATH> --wallet=wallet.dat.r1 --otherversion 30 --dumpwallet  --passphrase=xxxxxxx
#=>
WARNING:root:pycrypto or libssl not found, decryption may be slow
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Dogecoin and running this again.
I don't have Dogecoin running nor installed, I also had to get creative to get all the dependencies for pywallet installed - I'd be screwed if I wasn't a developer :vomit:

Anyone have any feedback?
