Pywallet Dumped - Import options

[dollartrader]

After reading through MANY threads, I have successfully recovered wallets. I mined and played way back when so lots of addresses. This is from a -dumpwithbalance output. Also did a recover option.

Questions:
The balance all say "Rate limited" - Any way I can correct that to show a balance?
Is there an efficient way to extract only the "sec: "<key>", from the text file and export just those keys to import into electrum?

Wallet created with recover will not load in to local qt bitcoin core (28.1) by the way, but a few test imports into electrum were successful.

            "addr": "<addr>",
            "balance": "Rate limited",
            "compressed": false,
            "encrypted_privkey": "7<privkey>",
            "hexsec": "88<hex>",
            "label": "recovered: 88<recover>",
            "pubkey": "04f<pubkey>",
            "reserve": 0,
            "sec": "5Jr<sec>",
            "secret": "88<secret>"

Electrum isn't designed to check thousands of addresses at once.
If you want to check the balance for a lot of addresses, read List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance.

Is there an efficient way to extract only the "sec: "<key>", from the text file and export just those keys to import into electrum?

I'd use grep:

Code:

grep '"sec": "' file.txt | cut -d'"' -f4

That's a response from Blockchain(dot)com's API if you've sent multiple queries in just a short while or your IP is above their limit.
The link is; Pywallet is using that as its main API endpoint and since there's no error response and Pywallet doesn't know how to handle such value, it took that (rate limited) as your balance.
It was written years ago when Blockchain had less strict limits, BTW.

Use manual query like what Loyce suggested or change the API endpoint in Pywallet's code to another balance check API.

Thanks for the info, will give these ideas a try.
