New Pywallet 0.0.1a6

[Adrian-x]

Don't worry, I'll be sure to back up my walet.dat.
I am looking for a tool to extract manage and consolidate my private keys form the QT client.
This seems like my best bet.

I look forward to testing it.

Yes, the old pywallet worked quite good for two years so as this one now adds logic and practicality, this should become the easiest way to manage bitcoin-qt (and other?) wallets

[DiamondCardz]

Awesome stuff. The screenshots for the new Pywallet look pretty nice so far.

Hello jackjack. Where to download this software. Thanks

[jackjack]

The first alpha version (Windows binary only) is ready

I'll PM Adrian-x and love9090 in the following minutes
I can send this version to some other people, just tell me
The signed checksum is in the OP
Virustotal, 0/48: https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/0fe5c2b8878196d1f2d3626c35b0e9f39a233e658304c9f2162aa8aad07e8a16/analysis/1380545351/

Working features: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/npw/blob/master/history.txt

The file is far from being perfect and I'd like to avoid people building things on it so please don't publish the file if I sent it to you

[jackjack]

I think the python file is enough stable to send it to alpha testers
Ask me if you want to test it
Please don't release it publicly, I don't want people to use it "seriously" yet

Again, the checksum is signed in OP

Where do I get the official signed version from ?

Edit : I can see a link at the start of your truncated signature - you should know that only part of that sig is visible.

[jackjack]

Around half a dozen people asked me to test it and I currently don't have the time to develop it intensively so I'll publicly release NPW 0.0.1a3 in the following hours/days

Please note that:
- it's an alpha version, it's experimental, so keep a backup of your wallet before using NPW
- the plan is to put all the current features of pywallet inside it so if you want a new feature you must ask for it
- I'm very enthusiastic about adding new features
- as an experimental software it can have (likely has) bugs: please report ANY bug, suggestion, critic, or whatever. Even a small "it works good" or "WUI is ugly" is more than welcome.

Oh and I'm still looking for nice names

I wonder what wallet formats are searched on "recovery"?
In fact, there's a sad Armory user trying to scan his HDD for a lost wallet.

Alan just wrote what one would scan for:

[..]
For CircusPeanut or anyone else that would like to take a stab at raw binary searches for wallets, you can probably search for \xBAWALLET\x00 which will appear as the first eight bytes of any wallet file.  After that, you can look four bytes later for the network magic bytes \xF9\xBE\xB4\xD9.  Once you have that, you can use the binary map I linked above to figure out how much data to copy.

The project is kind of paused as I've been really busy lately

1. on the pywallet thread, someone proposed WalletWizard. What do you think?

It looks for the few bytes that are just before the keys on the disk, then retrieve the keys themselves
Thanks for taking this to my attention, I hope I can help

I will send an alpha version to the people who asked me, soon. I now have the file with me, so it should be a matter of days (fixing severe bugs)
A public alpha release will come soon anyway

[Mitchell]

WalletWizard sounds funny and catchy. Go for it

[moderate]

Oh and I'm still looking for nice names

Why do you want another name ? PyWallet is fine enough and people know about it, don't change it.

[dserrano5]

"foobar wizard" is so windows-y… hopefully walletwizard would be abbreviated as "WW" in the vernacular .

[Dabs]

PyWallet = implies it was, is, and always will be in Python. If you ever do change language (like c/+/#, or php/ruby/whatever ..)

As much as he hates it, JJW will always be associated with this fork's current maintainer (JJW = JackJackWallet)

Now, just because I want to be immortalized, for free, you can called it DW (DW = Dabs Wallet) since I use it. hehehe.

Pywallet is fine though.

Hello jackjack, How to download software . I can not use python, pywallet by MS Dos. How to find this software with window version like picture in conmment 1st. Thank jackjack

[Praxis]

I think the name should be something with the word 'tools'

like wallettools or bittools or cryptotools

[jackjack]

I'll publish NPW 0.0.1a3 soon (a few hours) if there's no bad problems
Keep in mind this version lacks many features and the ones that are present are not likely to work
And please check the signatures

"foobar wizard" is so windows-y… hopefully walletwizard would be abbreviated as "WW" in the vernacular .

Is it too windows-y? I kinda like it But well I'm not a native so I don't how it is perceived

I think the name should be something with the word 'tools'

like wallettools or bittools or cryptotools

I think it's a good idea but I couldn't find a catchy name with "tools"

[jackjack]

The .py file needs Python 2.7 and no dependency for the CLI and the WUI. The Qt GUI needs pyqt4.
The .exe file is a single-file bundle python+NPW+pyqt4 so just run it and the GUI should show up.

Please keep in mind this is an experimental version
Please BACK UP all your wallets when messing with softwares that read/edit them
And please give me some backup (good or bad!), that tells me where to focus or allow me to fix bugs I didn't notice

I get an error after finishing the installation process of the executable, while starting:

Running NPW v0.0.1a3...

cx_Freeze: Python error
