I'm getting a wallet corrupt salvage failed error and need help to fix it I will offer a 10k bounty to whoever gets the wallet fixed and running for me i spent alot of time mining california coins because i believe in them and invested in the voting at swisscex so please someone help me
I am not a pro with wallets by any means but I found this to try and manually salvage your wallet:
You need to run the client with the -salvagewallet command-line option which moves any existing wallet.dat to wallet.[timestamp].dat and then attempts to salvage public/private keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into a new wallet.dat. Once you have your keys in place you can import them into a fresh copy of bitcoin and recover your balance.
If you are running windows you can create a shortcut to your wallet, go to the shortcut's properties: in the Target line add a space to the end of the line and then add -salvagewallet
Then run the wallet via the shortcut....
This might help also:
https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywalletIf this is the only copy, the last alternative is to use pywallet to scan the file for any private keys. A command line may be:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device C:\badwallet.dat --recov_size 10MB --recov_outputdir C:\foundkeys
Hope this helps.....if it does keep your coins....no bounty needed.....Please just post your results (what finally worked) in detail, to help out anyone else that may run into this issue.
