Hi Everyone,

I found an old wallet.dat on a HDD. I'm trying to figure out how to identify the type of coins that are inside. Looks like a lot of alt coin are using "wallet.dat" just like bitcoin.
I found by reading online that addresses are written in plain text inside the file, and indeed I can see next to "name=" some adresses.

Apparently, the first character of the address could identify the type of coin. In my case it's a "S".

Does anyone know which "blockchain" the prefix S corresponds to?
What is the best way to find the coin associated with this wallet?

Thank you

You can use pyethrecover that will scan your wallet.dat file for addresses. You can then create a tool that will parse blockchain.info for balances automatically. Its pretty simple
