A Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Sweeping the Blackcoin Key
--snip--
Step 2: Obtain Verification Software.

On an online machine, navigate to the official GitHub repository for a universal paper wallet generator like walletgenerator.net or bitaddress.org. Download the entire project as a ZIP file.

Transfer this ZIP file to the offline machine via the USB stick. Unzip it. This will provide a local index.html file that can be opened in a browser without an internet connection.

1. Both walletgenerator.net or bitaddress.org does not support coin called blackcoin.
2. walletgenerator.net is known scam website, see walletgeneratordotnet scam Paper wallet generation scam.

4. Run the following command, replacing `"your-recovered-password"` with the actual password you recovered. Keep the quotation marks if your password contains spaces or special characters.

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet-file wallet.aes.json --password "your-recovered-password"

Step 4: Run BTCRecover
Done\! Now you can run `btcrecover` without errors. The exact command depends on your wallet, but an example for a Bitcoin Core wallet with a password list would be:

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet "wallet.dat" --passwordlist "passwords.txt"

Here is the correct command:

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet-file wallet.aes.json --dump-wallet wallet_decrypted.txt --correct-wallet-password "your-recovered-password"

Step 4: The Final Command for Path A
After placing the correct `wallet.aes.json` file in the right folder, use a command like this to try a password list (assuming you created a file named `passwords.txt`):

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.aes.json --passwordlist passwords.txt

Note that we use `--wallet`, not `--wallet-file`.

2. Run the "Dump Wallet" Command:
Open your terminal or command prompt in the `btcrecover` folder and run the following command. Replace `"YOUR_CORRECT_PASSWORD"` with your actual wallet password.

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.aes.json --dump-wallet decrypted_contents.txt --correct-wallet-password "YOUR_CORRECT_PASSWORD"

1. Someone else noticed inconsistency on provided command.

The golden question now is: What to do now?

Haven't you noticed already?
The inconsistencies in the command/arg that it has given you and the way it corrects itself?

2. Looking at https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover/blob/master/btcrecover/btcrpass.py, both --password and --wallet-file argument aren't exist. That means he's giving invalid command.
