I corrupted my SPRTS wallet by trying to combine too many coins.

I used Python and Pywallet to fix my issue. This is not easy and took me quite awhile to get Python set up correctly.

I won't go into a bunch of detail but essentially I did the following:
1. used Pywallet to strip out the transactions and the wallet was able to be opened
2. then exported the private key from the original wallet that now had no transactions in it
3. started a new wallet which created a new wallet.dat
4. imported my original wallet key into the new wallet
5. all my original transactions returned - it processed for a few minutes but everything returned very quickly

24 transactions total returned for a combined 2.5 billion coins.

Amazing how it works.

If anyone needs help let me know and I'll put together more detailed instructions (which might take me awhile)
