Hi

I had a number of bitcoins stored in the bitcoin qt version 6 client. It got corrupted and on opening said 'error wallet.dat corrupted' The wallet was encrypted.

I've been trying to recover it using python stuff, so far I've installed the latest version of bitcoin qt and managed to get it to recognise the presence of the corrupted wallet which it wouldn't previously.

At the moment the furthest I've got is this command line -


C:\Users\Owner>c:\Python27\python c:\pywallet\pywallet.py --datadir=C:\yourbkpfo
lder\ --dumpwallet --password=(*MYPASSWORD*)
WARNING:root:pycrypto or libssl not found, decryption may be slow
ERROR:root:wrong password

I'm almost certain my password is entered correctly, does anyone know how to get this recovered? Will pay 1 btc if you can. thanks

Pretty sure it is, what command should I enter to see if I can recover it if it isn't encrypted? Thanks

thanks, that produces a long string of text, but when I try to import that into a blockchain.info wallet I get the message "No Private Keys Imported. Unknown Format or incorrect password"

You're using the Joric's pywallet and I don't how it handles the dump
What do you see in the "[]"? There should be "address", but what else?

there is tons of random long sequences of numbers, lots of lines like -   "addr": "1H3PxJug8Lrc4qmfMbXcG8Nk36E9NekeeF",
            "n": 99,
            "nTime": 1331915137

a few lines where it says scriptPubKey but no reference to the private key, how can I download and get the program you use to see the dump if that will make it easier?
