Yeah I tried just putting the file back in the roaming data folder for bither, but that prevented the app from launching together. So either something happened to my address.db file to make it unreadable for bither, or bither changed their desired format and my old wallet was no longer readable.

Either way, converting it to a QR code worked. Moved to exodus and much preferring that so far.

Because bither is annoying as it doesn't allow you to import using a wallet file. Just QR code or the private key..

I have just discovered a way round this though, convert the encrypted private key to a QR code, scan that and then it allows you to use your password to decrypt it. Now I'm in and have access again

I've managed to recover the password. So now I have the address.db and the password to decrypt - but can someone point me in the direction of the way to do this?

I can open the address.db file in DB browser /SQLite Studio. But can't see how I'd decrypt using my password

I have a bither wallet created in March 2018, one day the app just stopped launching, double click and nothing happens. I gave up trying to get it to work until recently and have been trying to get my way back into it.

I'm pretty sure it's not a HD account.

I have the address.db and it contains my public receive key but the private key seems to be encrypted.

I cannot find the file on my pc where I saved the private key or seed phrase. I did save it on my phone (since replaced) and printed it out (moved house no longer have) - my biggest mistake I know...

I cleared the contents of the bither roaming folder and the application launches. I put my address.db back in and it stops loading again.

Tried using btrecover.py but as I don't know any of the seed phrase it's going to take a billion years to brute force it, so not really an option!

Is there anyway to:
A) get bither to load my address.db
B)recover the private key so I can sweep it into electrum
C)uncover my lost seed.

There's only like 0.019 bit coins in the wallet so it isn't worth a great deal but the thought that once day it could be worth something is driving me mad!
