Hi all
I've been away for some time, many things have changed since then and Pywallet doesn't work anymore with wallets that are too recent
Are there still some users and is a fixed version needed?
I also remember that some things were broken or at least ugly, I may tidy things up if the demand is there
I created a somewhat "hacky" fork here:
https://github.com/HardCorePawn/pywalletIt suppresses the "keymeta" output spam... and ignores other errors in more modern wallet.dat files (from the top of my head, "bestblock" and "hdchain" cause issues, there may be others)
Given the large increase in price of BTC, and the obvious surge of "help I have old wallet.dat, how do I get keys/bitcoins!!" type posts that inevitably accompany a bullrun, it would be useful to have:
- updated Pywallet that works "properly" with newer wallet.dat files and doesn't just suppress/ignore errors
- Python 3 compatibility would be a bonus, as Python 2 is now completely unsupported
