Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required]

[jackjack]

Is the import accessable through the command line? I took a closer look last night and it doesn't appear to be. Thats all I need, I can script the rest.

Nope
Can't you make a script sending HTTP requests? With curl or python?
I will put this in the new pywallet though (that uses command line), I'll keep you updated (less than 2 weeks I hope)

Anyone have any reference online on the format for all that? I'd prefer to read up and learn as opposed to spending hours breaking a wallet and learning. One is much more efficient

Maybe there is but I don't know any

Thanks for all your hard work by the way jack. PM me a donation address I'll throw some BTC your way. Before I started allcrypt I used pywallet to recover keys lost on a personal wallet when I had a hard drive crash, and it's an invaluable tool with our site. So many times we need to remove a 0 confirmation transaction to recover a withdrawal from a wallet that was too stupid to set it's own fee correctly. Would be nigh impossible without pywallet.

I'm glad it helped you!

Hi jack, I finally get my coins, I did recover and the passphrase "I do not want to put a password on the recovered wallet and I know what can be the Consequences.".

That will return a wallet with several formats that SI PrivateKey me accept the client-QT.

Post some BTC, along with my thanks and admiration for his work.

Thanks a lot
The new pywallet will be much more user-friendly hopefully

Please give me all the ideas you may have, I think the first beta is coming soon so I'd need a name soon

Can you provide GUI for pywallet? I think it will help newbies.

I am sorry. I didn't see it. So will it be standalone? Using PyQt?

No problem it's not really announced yet.
It's standalone, with 3 interfaces: GUI with PyQt, command line and local web server. Features and interfaces are separated so all the features are available from all the interfaces.

My bad
Actually pywallet can multi-import !
Put "file" in "key" and the file name in "value"
The file can be the output of the "Dump transactions" feature

Finally managed to install everything in order to run pywallet. Still can't access it through web interface, neither I can dump a wallet through command line... Any clues on what I'm doing wrong?

What happens exactly?
What do you want to do?

If I run it through the command line, it simply says it's not recognized. If I run it through python with the --web, it just says things like invalid synthax.

I think I installed everything correctly. Had to download setuptools and zope.interface from 3rd party websites because they weren't avaliable on the Python website... Not sure if that's what causing the problem.

As for what I want to do... I want to open a wallet that's giving me quite a big headache (unlocked it multiple times with my passphrase, which suddenly stopped working. And yes, I am 100% sure I'm using the correct passphrase)

EDIT: when I try to run it through the command line with --web added

Code:

  File "C:\Documents and Settings\(...)\pywallet.py"
, line 5
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

EDIT2: somehow the pywallet file did not download correctly... just replaced it with the correct file and it just booted the web interface. Sorry for this noobish mistake, I'm guess I'm just mad at my wallet file, lol. Thanks anyway

[jackjack]

I'm glad it works
Tell me how it goes, I may help more than pywallet itself

[jackjack]

I've been asked the meaning of the JSON keys for the addresses, here it is
Tell me if I forgot anything

addr: bitcoin address
compressed: whether the key is compressed or not
encrypted_privkey: encrypted private key (only present if the wallet is encrypted)
hexsec: private key in hexadecimal format (32 bytes)
secret: hexsec with 0x01 appended if the key is compressed (32 or 33 bytes)
sec: bitcoin private key (base58check'd)
pubkey: public key in DER format, ie 0x04+X+Y or 0x02+X or 0x03+X (33 or 65 bytes)
reserve: whether the key is in the pool or not

Thank you. Managed to get my coins back.

Thanks, this will be handy. Out of curiosity: how can I calculate the version of a coin? As far as I've read, it has to do with the public address... but can't seem to find a way to see the version of a specific crypto.

I think, if you go to coin's repo, you may get it(most of the coin uses github). Try to search there and you may want to search in discussion too. If there is any other possible ways, it would be very helpful.

It's just the first byte of DecodeBase58Check(address)

Thank you! Which Python should I use? 3.4.1 or 2.7.8 ? Which one are you using?

Pywallet runs only with 2.x but DecodeBase58Check should work with 3
