I'm trying to import them but it says it is corrupted or something at startup then when i try to manually import digital copy it won't let me hit continue or go on, for all copies that i saved from recuva.

can developers plz help me? I know there is a way to get my root key from that wallet.
If your wallet files are corrupted and you don't have any backups, there is nothing that anyone can do.

Try using Armory's recover wallet tool and see if it can recover anything.

edit: i'm sure these are not watch only cause it doesn't say when i opened used notepad..
The wallet files are not text files, and actually contain basically zero readable text except for descriptions and labels. You won't get any information out of the files by opening them in a text editor.

so it couldn't be the platform? upgrading the client or trying it on another comp wouldn't work? the thing they are clearly marked .dat files for wallets for armory.. if anyone can please help we can sign some agreement saying ill a % of the wallet. They don't seem all the way corrupted can someone please help.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25091.0

i've seen is another idea

edit: also there never says files are corrupted just that the wallets themselves are not acceptable wallet files

anyone help plz will be appreciated, dont mind putting out bounties or service fees.. i know there's a way I just read multiple programs including using pythonwallet itself to run a recovery.

also the exact reaosn as to why it won't recover is: Invalid path - or file is not a valid armory wallet?

wtf?

The platform doesn't matter. The Armory version might make a difference, but none of the wallet code as been changed in any of the latest versions.

the thing they are clearly marked .dat files for wallets for armory..
Armory doesn't use .dat files. If you are seeing .dat files that are supposedly for armory, those aren't Armory files.

if anyone can please help we can sign some agreement saying ill a % of the wallet. They don't seem all the way corrupted can someone please help.
How would you know they aren't corrupted? Do you happen to know the Armory binary file format? Armory uses a binary file format that you wouldn't know whether it was corrupted unless you examine it byte by byte.

Have you tried the Armory wallet recovery tool? It's in the software itself.

That's for wallet.dat files which are for Bitcoin Core only, not Armory.

i'm sure they might be but the error log says wrong path or wrong armory wallet.. even though i created this wallet and it's encryption using armory core.I did OFC try that as well as a number of other different things.

There's gotta be a way willing to pay through escrow to make sure the developing team has the funds that it deserves. I've been using armory since .88 same for this one breach to make it stop using it forever/

And as you can see this is clearly a systems error.. i i mean 3 wallets are randomly deleted from an OI issue? I'm a very much laymen but how would this happen?


Oh and I've read this python script helps you find it but how do i do this? I haveno exp in this please help

 #!/usr/bin/env python -u

# Read from stdin, corrupt/remove random bytes, write to standard out.

import optparse
import random
import sys

def main():
  parser = optparse.OptionParser(usage="%prog [options]")
  parser.add_option("--n", dest="n", type="int", default=1,
                    help="how many single-byte errors to introduce")
  parser.add_option("--r", dest="remove", type="int", default=0,
                    help="how many bytes to erase")
  parser.add_option("--verbose", dest="verbose", action="store_true",
                    help="be verbose")
  (options, args) = parser.parse_args()

  data = bytearray(sys.stdin.read())

  for i in range(0, options.n):
    position = random.randrange(0, len(data))
    oldbyte = data[position]
    newbyte = (oldbyte+random.randrange(1,256))%256
    data[position] = newbyte
    if options.verbose:
      print >> sys.stderr, "Replaced byte %d with %d at position %d"%(oldbyte,newbyte,position)

  for i in range(0, options.remove):
    position = random.randrange(0, len(data))
    oldbyte = data[position]
    del data[position]
    if options.verbose:
      print >> sys.stderr, "Deleted byte at position %d"%(position)

  sys.stdout.write(data)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()

Just FYI, whoever told you that script might be able to help is lying. That python script you have there creates random corruption... and/or deletes random bytes from a file... that isn't going to fix any of your issues... and will probably only make things worse.

In general its better to ignore the suggestions from experienced users and run random code posted by random people instead of using the tools what are made for such cases.
Thats only logical if you already ignore all the backup features offered during the creation of wallets.
In the end you can blame the software when you realize it didn't work.

Do not PM me. I am making a point of ignoring you. People in this thread have gone out of their way to help you. The questions you ask have been replied to several times in here. Reread the replies if you missed them.

Stop posting in other threads, stop creating other threads. I have been deleting your posts outside of this thread. Keep your request for hand holding to this thread only. Thanks.

thanks.. also it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with my possible being hacked? Recently another wallet of mine was entirely deposited into a .tor site which was run completely from a USB drive, encrypted, using persistent storage.

transaction is this

https://blockchain.info/tx/f5a4a02add4af3f4fe8ed1b7275347b1fd3658c56237be6b43652cb90c71adfe

also please if anyone has any idea what's going on i can provide full details.

If any developer/coder can please help I promise to hold funds in escrow
