wallet version is 60400 when i dump with pywallet it shows timestamp alongside the public key… no private key.

i tried dumping every hex value of the binary \x04\x20 followed by(32) as a last resort and did basic compressed and uncompressed versions of the hex values and it doesn’t show.


i also probably tried every thing imaginable, i’m sure the wallet file has the solution to spending the utxo but i think the bitcojn client/litecoin and others i tried seem to ignore it, had anyone else had this issue and sorry my english is bad because i’m so tired of looking for solutions.

btw, check my history in the crypto scene if you think i might waste your time.

I'm not sure how pywallet dumps the wallet, but for examining the wallet data itself, if you're seeing timestamp next to the pubkey, then you are looking at the wrong records. The timestamp is attached to a metadata record, not the record containing the private key itself.

Bitcoin Core prefixes records with ascii, so you can search for the strings ckey or key. There will also be a 0x04 byte before ckey and a 0x03 byte before key. Those records will have the pubkey first followed by the privkey. With ckey, the private key will be encrypted. With key, it will be in plaintext but serialized with DER so it will be very long and include a bunch of unnecessary information about the secp256k1 curve.
