Title: Bitshares 0.9.3c problem. Need to export/import private keys
Post by: Eastside on March 19, 2016, 12:44:56 am

I am offering 0.123 BTC to anyone who can hold my hand via the phone or Skype (no email) and help me with my Bitshares Blues.
1) I don't check this forum very often, so please don't respond to me here.
2) Please don't respond unless you really know what you're talking about. If you DON'T really know what you're talking about and you waste my time (as has happened 2x now), of course I will not pay you.

I need to export/import my private keys but I'm having a lot of problems.
Please email me for an initial discussion and then we can set up a Skype session or Wechat via phone or regular old phone.
I'm in the U.S. on Central time - 1 hour behind NYC. I never go to bed before 12 midnight fyi.
Email:
jcbarrett2003@yahoo.com

Thanks,

JB

I wonder why in all those 10 mails or so that you wrote me over the last two weeks you never asked me for a skype session ..

For anyone that find it useful, the bash script below takes a 0.X json wallet backup and dumps "account name, owner pubkey, owner privkey".

Tested with a 07/2014 backup  (0.4.X?)
Tested with a 03/2015 backup  (0.8.X?)

Only one "rare" dependecy.
npm install -g json

For the rest it uses standard command line tools (openssl, sha512sum, xxd) 

pip install bitcoin (optional to have the privatekey in Wif format)

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
WALLET_FILE=$1
PASSWORD=$2
SHA512=$(echo -n $PASSWORD | sha512sum -)
KEY=${SHA512:0:64}
IV=${SHA512:64:32}

cat $WALLET_FILE | json -c "this.type == 'account_record_type'" | json -c "this.data.is_my_account == true" | json -a data.name data.owner_key | while read -a line; do
  NAME=${line[0]}
  PUBKEY=${line[1]}
  ENC_PRIVKEY=$(cat $WALLET_FILE | json -c "this.type == 'key_record_type'" | json -c "this.data.public_key == '$PUBKEY'" | json -a data.encrypted_private_key)

  PRIVKEY=$(echo -n $ENC_PRIVKEY | xxd -r -p | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -K $KEY -iv $IV | xxd -p | tr -d '\n')

  which pybtctool > /dev/null
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    PRIVKEY=$(echo -n $PRIVKEY | pybtctool -s encode_privkey wif)
  fi

  echo $NAME $PUBKEY $PRIVKEY
done
