Im one step closer thank you.
Now getting this error message when running that code
C:\Python27>pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=.\wallet.dat
Warning: 'ecdsa' package is not installed, so you won't be able to sign/verify m
essages but everything else will work fine
This is just for the mentioned features;
but if you wish to get rid of the error, just install ecdsa package through pip:
pypi.org/project/ecdsa(22, 'Invalid argument -- C:\\Python27\\wallet.dat: unexpected file type or form
at')
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this
again.
I tried to open this file with Bitcoin core before using pywallet and got a similar "data is not in recognized format" error.
Wondering if im SOL
That indicates that the wallet.dat may be corrupted, also Bitcoin Core throws a similar error so that should confirm it.
I think you need to start your own thread in Bitcoin Technical Support board for corrupted wallet.dat recovery options.
