Hi folks! I have a Old corrupt wallet.dat from a client. I tried some things to recover those 33.54 BTC, since July 16. This is the wallet:

https://blockchain.info/address/1KYYVUwWSMrNkje41jzvubSRsjABu3EUt6

Next, a short summary of the history of this wallet:

*) This wallet comes from a old version of bitcoin-qt (2011), my client said "0.3.24 Beta version", but that is not sure. He remember, he could mining with that client of bitcoin-qt. In fact, he did a "copy & paste" of the wallet.dat when the client was mining and updating. Then, he put that file in a USB drive, and stored for years. When he tried to recover the wallet.dat with a new client of bitcoin-qt, bit he never had success.

*) He said, "the wallet is not encrypted with a password".

*) The size of the wallet.dat file is 112kb

What i tried, with no success :

1) I downloaded the bitcoin-qt client 0.3.24beta, and i tried to open the client with the wallet.dat loadded. i had this messagge:

2) I downloaded the new version of bitcoin-qt client 0.12.1 (i did in July 16), and i tried to open with the same method above.

3) I tried commands from the bitcoin-qt client 0.12.1, like "salvagewallet" and "upgradewallet".

4) I tried bitcointools.

5) Then i started to open the wallet with a HEX editor and looking for a pattern like "KeyA", "key!" or any other kind.

6) Also i tried this script: https://gist.github.com/msm595/7595164. I got 0 privkey.

7)I modified the script above, changing the line 17, with other kinds of REGEX patterns. I tried:

What i need:

*)Any Kind of help, I don't rule out that I could have tried badly some previously mentioned method.

*)Don't Waste your time, requesting the wallet.dat file. I'll not pass it on.

*)You can pass me, open source scripts writed for you, with the following steps to make it work.

*)I am a Python Developer, so i'll prefer scripts writed in that lenguage.

If your recover method, helps me to recover the wallet.dat i'll pay you a reward (We can negociate it)

Did you try to dump the wallet or read the db manually with python? There are several scripts for this
