I don't know if it worth to revive this topic, but let's give it a chance.
Next time just start a new topic.
When I try to work with the reddcointools, which are basicly the same as the bitcointools... I always end up getting a syntaxError : unexpected character after line continuation character.
This is very new to me and I would be happy if someone could give me some direction in it.
As far as i am concerned, bitcointools is for bitcoin and reddcointools is for reddcoin ?
We need a few more information about how this error occured. Did you just run a tool? Or did you write a script?
If you wrote a script by yourself, then as the error message is stating: There is an unexpected character (where it shouln't be).
If you could post the snippet of your code where the error appears, it would be much easier to help you.
If you just ran a (downloaded) script and you get this error, then the tool is 'broken'. But still.. a code snippet would help to find the mistake.
