I'll look at your file and make a link in the readme
I can't see your youtube video now because of a ridiculous bandwidth here... But thanks for making it


I added some little things: you can now sign/verify files and binary strings. Use this with "Hex:6294aa82be73" and "File:/home/jackjack/test.zip" (yes, ctoon6 gave me this idea with his dependencies file )
In info you can now see the hash160 of a key
And when you dump a wallet you can chose the version. Before that, all addresses (e.g. namecoin and testnet) were changed in their bitcoin aliases which was not really practical

Are you reading the wallet database in such a way that concurrent access would be possible if the client also supported it?  For maximum usefulness, it would be nice to be able to use the running wallet instead of having to shut down your client or take a backup.

I have some other ideas for patching the client too.  Like being able to set a flag on an address that tells the node not to return it in response to a getnewaddress request so that you can have some keys used only for signing.

Yes I think so

For maximum usefulness, it would be nice to be able to use the running wallet instead of having to shut down your client or take a backup.

The client opens and locks the wallet until it is exited, so until the devs change that behaviour it's not possible

If you create a new address in the client and set its label to "Signing address", it will never use it as a pool key because it's not and with the label you will know it's your signing address
It should be sufficient I think

New release:
 web interface now use --datadir and --wallet flags to autofill forms
 no more "A if cond else B", so it should run with python 2.4 and maybe less, can someone test?

I also modify the OP to add how to use each function, everything is written there

Code:

Very cool, the web interface auto-fill works beautifully.

I tried running it with Python 2.4.  It kinda works.  The biggest issue I ran into, the json module does not appear to exist in Python 2.4.  According to the docs on python.org, json would appear to have been introduced in 2.6.

New command-line option: Recover your deleted keys

Code:

sudo ./pywallet.py --recover --recov_size 30.1Gio --recov_device /dev/sda3 --recov_outputdir /home/jackjack/recovered_wallets

This will read the 30.1 first Gio of /dev/sda3 to find some deleted private keys (sudo can be needed to read devices)

recov_size accepts ko, kio, Mo, Mio, Go, Gio, To and Tio units (edit: I just think about that, some of you may usually use kB/MB/..., I'll fix that, later ). No space allowed between the number and the unit
recov_device is obviously the device to read
recov_outputdir is the directory where pywallet will write the recovered wallet (named "recovered_wallet_TIMESTAMP.dat")

It's only a command-line option because if one deletes his wallet and tries to recover it, running a browser is not exactly is good idea...

It takes about 25 minutes to read 100 Go

I'll see if I can use something else instead of json, thanks for the feedback

Great tool I didn't know it

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You seem to have Python 3 which is not supported yet

[jackjack]

There's something weird, I tried the recovery command on / (which is separated from /home, so it should never have seen any key)
And 1960 different keys were found...

Then I calculated the probability to find a false positive: 1 false positive every 10^12 To...
So I used the recovered wallet, -rescan, and the client is currently showing the total balance of all my wallets

I think you should try... I hope the problem is me, and not the Bitcoin client/the bsd library copying the wallet in /tmp or whatever...

1. I'm an idiot and I wanted to make something more friendly for my idiot friends.
First let me state I dont know the first thing about what i am doing.  
but somehow i managed to noob my way into creating a windows.exe of pywallet.py and I did so without accidently starting a nuclear war... yeah amazing I know.

IF you hate your computer or miss the computer guy, You could test this out for me

it simply runs with the web interface enabled.. no options to change ports, if you dont understand why, read my first line again... You run pywallet.exe and open up your browser and go to localhost:8989.. no need to install python.. twisted.. zope.. i DID not add ecdsa.. so no signing.
why? refer back to line 1

jackjack,.. really the only think I want to do... I guess i could blindly hack at it some more(see line 1).. is just a simplistic web interface for importing keys... for the bitbills, paper wallets and coins out there.

think we can have a hobbled pywallet-version moron for me and my masses of minions?



(warning not responsible if running this exe causes nuclear war)

.. the only thing i changed was something that said something about options being mandatory.. I didnt like that.. so i deleted it.
and it appeared to work.

and then later  this line

Code:

if 'twisted' not in missing_dep and options.web is not None:

I got rid of the not... and gtfo that worked... well not quite first it bitched about some shit called twisted.. so I told it to grab the shit called twisted and STFU about it and that seemed to work as well. I think it was scared of me as it seems to have went ahead and installed zope as well.

anyways I have been bugging jackjack for about 6 hours now to make this and he hasnt yet, so I decided to try.. good luck to your and your computer if you attempt to use this.


(if it doesnt work, asks for dependencies.. or starts a war goto line 1 in this comment)

[jackjack]

Did you consider we are not in the same timezone?

Could you tell me how you managed to make an exe from a python script+1exe? (I supposed it doesn't work in windows, well, I'll find a windows machine)

Also, about the code changes, hum, I don't know what you did, but seeing what you posted I don't think it's a good idea

I was teasing about the harrasment.. i didnt expect you to have this done in 6 hours.. or even care really.(you might but i dont know)

it works on my 3 windows machines.. xp, win7 and win64


It probably isnt a good idea, but it works.. all it does is run your pywallet with the web interface option ..without having to download python or any of that crap.. just extract and go. Hey it is pretty simple to step one download python, step 2 get the twisted, step 3 get zope, step 4 install twisted and zope, step 5 download pywallet, set 6 open a command prompt, step 7 run pywallet --web step 8 open browser and go to localhost:8989 but my minors hate steps even easy ones(you realize atlas or w/e his name is now, paid someone to add a key for him cause he didnt want to do these steps?)

I used py2exe

my method is step one.. download dist.zip and extract, step 2 run pywallet.exe, step 3 open browser go to localhost:8989 .

5 less steps and the most complex steps removed.

I tired adding the signing thing but it seemed to want the command line for some shit.. so i left it out.


(the only thing my minons need, is a windows program that has a big button that says import keys)

[ctoon6]

you might want to have a script that runs that closes out any and all bitcoin.exe instances, so you avoid any possible wallet corruption.

[joulesbeef]

you might want to have a script that runs that closes out any and all bitcoin.exe instances, so you avoid any possible wallet corruption.

didnt know that could happen.. well the web interface instructs you to close bitcoin in really big letters.

I suppose though.. you;d have to close namecoin, ixcoin, i0coin and ifuturecoin as well.

i have accidentally left bitcoin open before, and my wallet was fine, but if you package it into an exe, people will use it and the chance of lost wallets will be much higher for many reasons.

[joulesbeef]

like i said I'm not a programmer.. i'm an idiot.. but i guess i could make a batch file for people to run... used to run the exe..that kills any instance of btcoin, ixcoin, i0coin or namecoin it finds running.


something like

Code:

taskkill /IM bitcoin.exe
taskkill /IM bitcoind.exe
taskkill /IM ixcoin.exe
taskkill /IM ixcoind.exe
taskkill /IM i0coin.exe
taskkill /IM i0coind.exe
start pywallet.exe

should work no?

edit that works.

I added a bat file.. with the code above and it closes all of them.. well just like the code above except I added namecoin as well

the runme.exe is just the batch file converted into an exe with a nifty wallet icon.. note the money isnt real


use either to start it and dont say I didnt warn you


edit... grr.. stupid beef... have to taskkill everything twice.. cause if the window is open, killing it just sends to the clock.
 i fix it.... er i thought i did.. now looks like i need a delay... ping will work i think..

edit edit  WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU WONT WORK ON MY OLD ASS XP LAPTOP... grrr this fake programming shit is hard.

added some task running checks to the bat, what ever that means and it keeps looping and killing until the task finally dies.. and then starts the wallet. as seen below.. fixed the link above.. this shit should work even on a slow ass laptop with xp

Code:

:moo
taskkill /IM bitcoin.exe
taskkill /IM bitcoind.exe
taskkill /IM ixcoin.exe
taskkill /IM ixcoind.exe
taskkill /IM i0coin.exe
taskkill /IM i0coind.exe
taskkill /IM namecoin.exe
taskkill /IM namecoind.exe
ping localhost -n 5 

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq i0coin.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "i0coin.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" goto moo
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq i0coind.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "i0coind.exe">NUL

Pywallet Windows Installer

• Download https://rapidshare.com/files/297344581/pywallet-windows-installer.exe (SHA256: df2d5eb1705d8a9bd6d7d93af055d0d9914f8bba8e7860b98d696af9b369bbd7)
• Run it
• Click about a thousand times on Yes/Next/I Agree/OK
• Go to the directory where you extracted it and run pywallet.bat
• http://localhost:8989

py2exe was too much pain to use, this is simpler for me, and honestly everybody can do that
The exe file is an autoextractible archive containing the installers of all the dependencies and a bat file launching them at the end of the extraction



As for the problem of running *coin while using pywallet, I don't think I can do that properly and I don't want to corrupt the files because I violently killed the processes

Good!

There is just one missing thing.

If Windows is a x64 distribution, "update.bat" must have this line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe"
instead of this one:
"C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe"

Nice catch
Btw, I use it too in install.bat I believe, to download pywallet.py
I don't know how to check if the machine is 32 or 64bits but I'll look into that
