python btcrecover.py --wallet ./btcrecover/test/test-wallets/blockchain-github-v1-1 --dump-privkeys blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt --correct-wallet-password mypassword
Wallet successfully dumped...
I cannot find any file in this case.
Since the indicated value of
--dump-privkeys arg isn't an absolute nor relative path,
If not in your BTCRecover nor python install directory, it should be in your working directory named "
blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt".
About "
working directory", it's the directory displayed in your command line before the "
>" sign.
Or alternatively, specify the absolute path of where you want to save the dump file.
e.g.:
--dump-privkeys D:/blockchain-github-v1-1_main_privkeys.txt to save it in D: drive's root.
Unable to decrypt wallet, likely due to incorrect password..
I am using the correct password but I am getting this error.
If it's not the password, it may be the payload that you saved as wallet.aes.json file.
The format should look like the test "
blockchain-github" wallets in "
.\btcrecover\test\test-wallets" (
open as text), older versions are different than the latest so check them all if your payload isn't formatted correctly.
It feels like I am back to square one despite being so close to the end now!
Fingers Crossed.
But like I mentioned, his suggestion to dump the wallet's private keys isn't the direct solution to this but an option in case it's the client's issue.
Thanks.
I was actually able to located the dump and private keys file.
Now, upon importing in Electrum, I see there were two transactions made back in 2022.
One was 0.04 BTC in and out quickly and another one for 1.1 BTC in and out quickly.
I don't understand why someone would do this because my account was dormant ever since 2014.
Anyways, I have a suspicion that the private keys file actually don't belong to me and it was installed when I installed Btcrecover, so I am seeing someone else's transactions?
I still believe my .json file is password encrypted which I have yet to decipher.
Thanks again.
