I have found an old wallet.dat wallet which after scanning show only unconfirmed transactions with unknown addresses.
Same wallet scans in litecoin core wallet with unconfirmed transactions.
Is there any other tool than pywallet that could output whats inside the wallet and parse it?
Is there a page with all bitcoin forks that supports wallet.dat format?
thanks in advance EWA

If the file isn't encrypted... (ie. no wallet password), then there was a method that you could use to scan the wallet.dat file for "names" (it would be the actual addresses in string format, as opposed to public key/hex etc) and you could use the address prefix to work out what sort of coin you were dealing with. ie. 1 = Bitcoin, L = Litecoin, D = Dogecoin etc. This stackexchange link has a couple of options to do it using either pywallet or the gist script mentioned in one of the answers: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/19589/how-to-determine-what-type-of-coins-a-wallet-dat-containsIf the wallet is encrypted, it might be a bit more difficult... although pywallet might still work.

If there is nothing you can add to the topic then dont bother fill with insults. where did you get "insult" from? you seem to be so sensitive! knowing where you have gotten this wallet.dat file could help a lot. for example if it was among your backup files or if it was converted by you (maybe changed the name or extension), or if it was recovered using a recovery tool from a hard disk that failed or if you bought it from the someone on the internet saying it has free coins inside. depending on "where" you have gotten the file, the steps you could take to recover the funds are entirely different.

Can you view the TXID of those unconfirmed transactions? If so, copy and paste them to a multi-coin blockexplorer and see if you can get a result, try: https://multihash.net/en

Public key starts with W I thought you still identify which coins inside your wallet.dat ? yes, I dont know what coin is W i just followed your suggestion and checked the wallet.dat manually looking for name tag

Public key starts with W
The only one I could find was "Wagerr"... that uses addresses that start with a "W" Website: https://wagerr.com/Github (for "Core" Wallet): https://github.com/wagerr/wagerr/releasesThey also have a blockexplorer here: https://explorer.wagerr.com/#/So you can try putting some of your addresses and/or transaction IDs (if you can see them) into the explorer and see if it matches. NOTE: I have never heard of, or used, Wagerr... but it seems like it is still in active development/use: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5186141EDIT: wait... Public Key starts with "W" or those "name" records in the wallet.dat start with "W"?

MIC3 coin address also start with "W" this is a sample of their address "MmJ14UcTvYtQdsURSBDQy94LzK1EXvz9CY"
Uhh, it starts with 'M' not 'W' Did it started with " W" addresses then changed to 'M' just like Bitcurrency?

Try clicking those links he gave and that will give you a hint. Google provide much info IMHO.

Uhh, it starts with 'M' not 'W' Did it started with " W" addresses then changed to 'M' just like Bitcurrency? Ow sorry didn't notice the mic3 but I just search them in google that they are talking about switching the addresses from W address to other addresses. Just like the Bitcurrency above as you can see they switch from W addresses to B addresses. So I think mic3 also switch from W address to M address. Thanks for the info guys, can I ask where did you find this info?
I search them in Google using this term below. "w address" site:bitcointalk.org Including double quote and site:bitcointalk.org Try it and you will find some post that includes with w address. then try to play the search engine and put your keyword inside the double quote.

How about my suggestion above, have you tried to check for the TXID of those transactions and paste them in multi-currency block explorer? And now that you have the list of addresses from the dump file, you can paste one of the addresses instead of TXID and that site might detect which coin/wallet it belongs.

may it cost to open it through a text editor?
Why not try it. If it is not encrypted with password you can see your address including xprv or the private key from the wallet.dat file but if it's encrypted you can see some text with boxes or random characters it will look like this below if you open it with notepad++

You will not get a ton of readable text regardless of encryption. Furthermore, you most definitely will not see an xprv, Bitcoin Core does not store or use xprvs. wallet.dat files are Berkeley DB files. You will need to have a tool specifically designed to read BDB files to really get meaningful information from them.

This is not about reading the file but rather recognize the coin inside the wallet which I have disclosed earlier.
