so i found an old wallet.dat file of mine. ran it through pywallet and the output says"The wallet is encrypted but no passphrase is use"
what does that mean?
I never used pywallet and that is a quite confusing sentence. How could it be encrypted without a password? If something is encrypted, it should require something to decrypt it, which as far as I know is always a password, or you can call it whatever you want, what I mean is it requires an input.
This is what I was able to find, so check it out:
This means you ran pywallet without the --password option. It does not mean the wallet has an empty passphrase.

Go on that thread and probably there is an answer somewhere.
