I'm reading everyone's advice here. I found a folder with the following folders within it:
Cipher, Hash, Protocol, PublicKey, Random, SelfTest, Signature, Util.
All files within those folders end in ".py or .pyd or .pyc" (which I'm guessing are Python based)
Where did you find this folder? and what was it called? While it looks like it it possibly related to crypto, it doesn't look like anything in the Electrum source code structure/history that I can find?
Is the file actually called "wallet.dat" or are you just using the term to mean "wallet file"? If it is called wallet.dat, chances are that it is NOT an Electrum wallet file.
If it isn't called wallet.dat, what is it called? and are you 100% certain this is an Electrum wallet file or are you guessing/assuming it is? If you are certain it is an Electrum wallet file, if you open (a copy of) the file in a text editor, do you see anything human readable?
