Doesn't work... I m' crying right now. It's a fucking nightmare.

I have tokens.txt on the right folder and my wallet on the right folder.
It doesn't reconize anything.

I type -- wallet mywallet and --tokenlist tokens.txt
What the fuck is wrong damn it . Why it is not reconize ?

"No such file or directory tokens.txt" I'm dying. Fucking Electrum

Edit : with --passwordlist it's working.
Now with --wallet it's not working. He don't reconize my wallet, i change the name but nothing. I had extension .dat but nothing.


Are you using the absolute directory path, sometimes if you don't then stuff doesn't work (even if it's in the same folder). Also, uuse speach marks '' to surround the text of the directory/file name.

An absolue directory reference includes the path before it.
E.g
'C:\users\user\appdata\local\bitcoin\wallet.dat' is absolute.

'wallet.dat' - isn't!

I don't understand what you say. I put my wallet on btcrecover folder. I type C:\python27\python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --passwordlist tokens.txt

And always the same error : errno2 no such file or directory "myfuckingwallet"

I can use tokens.txt now, when typing --passwordlist not tokenlist.
But my wallet can't be reconized. ANd when i try to use seedrecover.py it says :
Electrum 2.8+ fully encrypted wallet files cannot be read.. Try to recover from your master extend public key or an adress...

Where can i find the master extend public key ? Maybe this is the solution.
Because btcrecover can't work...
Thanks again Electrum great job.
