Re: Has anyone here been able to decode the backup of bitcoin wallet (schildbatch)?
I believe that is likely to be the same encryption method, just it's private keys instead of the "protobuf" formatted wallet file.
Have you tried using a more recent version of the wallet application (ie. Bitcoin Wallet for Android) and importing the "bitcoin-wallet-keys-YYYY-MM-DD" file?
If that doesn't work, you might be able to decrypt the file using the openssl command with your bitcoin-wallet-keys-YYYY-MM-DD file:
Assuming that works without error, if you open the "decrypted" file in a text editor... do you see the keys listed?

Thank you for the reply HCP.
I have tried installing the latest version of the schildbatch wallet as you suggested, and attempted to import the keys using the restore wallet function but unfortunately it just returns the error "Wallet could not be restored - unreadable wallet".
The second one - openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in bitcoin-wallet-keys-YYYY-MM-DD -out bitcoin-wallet-keys-YYYY-MM-DD-decrypted . Using the Gitbash terminal on Windows, this command just returns nothing. No error, but nothing happens it just sits on the next line and there is no outfile file created in the directory. Am I doing something wrong here?
