[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Maybe add a small "backup your wallet just in case" message ?

[jimbo77]

Since your utility is for dealing with wallets would it be hard to add a backup and encrypt option?

[BookLover]

Is this open source?  If so were can I look at the code?

P.S. For some reason this post says red flag to me, but I'm paranoid so it's probably nothing.

It's in python. Follow the link and you can either download the code and read it or you can see the source code in your web browser at the github site. I don't know much python but I did give it a quick look. I think others have as well.

It was stupid to forget that, thanks

I think it's better that the user makes it himself, because each of us have a different way to backup. But if many people ask so, I can add it
I absolutely don't know how Satochi's client encrypts wallet, and I prefer waiting the official release before looking into that

As Bitlotto told you, it's in Python and open source: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet/blob/master/pywallet.py
Commits: https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet/commits/master
Pywallet thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0

Better safe than sorry

So I have this problem on a Blockhain.info wallet.

Would I be correct to assume the following:

1. Export wallet.dat from blockchain.info
2. Do as you say with it.

3. Now what? Should I just Import wallet in Blockchain.info using my now modified wallet.dat, or should I first completely delete the wallet & all key from my blockchain.info acc (is this even possible)??

How do I make sure the unconfirmed transactions do not stay at blockchain.info??

Here is the guide if you didn't use bitcoin-qt to create the transaction

Indeed, I added that, thanks

My unconfirmed transactions are gone (following instructions above), but it did not restore my balance (nearly 1 BTC). Still no record on blockchain.info and still unconfirmed for over a month.

If you are using accounts, DO NOT USE THIS METHOD, it completely messes your wallet! Some of your accounts will have higher balance, some lower and overall BTC balance is reduced!

How do I fix my armory?

[Blast12345]

When I try to run I get the "'twisted' package is not installed" error. I manually installed twisted and even tried the pywallet install.bat but neither worked.

We assume some version of Windows...

Requirements: Python 2.x, with bsddb and twisted packages

Install Python 2.7.6 (32 bit): http://python.org/download/

Below, download the 32 bit build of the python 2.7 package:
-install zope.interface : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#zope.interface
-install twisted : http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted

Download and save the pywallet.py script to the directory C:\python27 (just so we know where it is).

Press "windows key" + "R" for run, and paste C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\pywallet.py --web


...I edited myself a version of pywallet where --web is the default and it launches a web browser with the URL for you.

Sorry I just want to confirm, this will work with bitcoins that I trying to send to another wallet that are stuck? And I will see the bitcoins appear in my Bitcoin-QT wallet once I do these steps?

Thanks,

[crazy573]

It will delete the transaction. So if the Qt wallet is the sending wallet, the btc will ready to spent again. If the Qt wallet is the receiving wallet, it doesn't remember anything about this transaction.
