Its been recommended to me to start a thread for some help recovering an old wallet.dat file.
I had made a post in the Pywallet 2.2 thread and the farthest I got was this error message,
(22, 'Invalid argument -- C:\\Python27\\wallet.dat: unexpected file type or form
at')
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this
again.
I tried to open this file with Bitcoin core before using pywallet and got a similar "data is not in recognized format" error.
It might be worth mentioning I recovered the file using EaseUS data recovery wizard some time ago.
Thank you for any help.
