Wallet got corrupted

[arubi]

xxd is just some command I guess, right?

@arubi, PM me your PTS address, I'll give you some PTS for helping me out here.

Okay

OK, I think the pywallet script is still buggy, I'll spend sometime on it first.

I used this command to recover my lost pub/pri keys:

Code: [Select]

python ~/Desktop/pywallet/pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=tmp/wallet.1387632779.bak  --recov_size 2Mo --recov_outputdir=. --otherversion=56
  614  And I got output like this:

Code: [Select]

But I noticed all addresses start with "1" instead of "P" as seen in my protoshares client. Does anyone know how I can right this?

try to use the --otherversion=56 flag before the other ones

I'll give out 10% to people who helped recover my PTS

only me here that i can see right now

xxd is used for performing a hex dump of the wallet files
if we can see public keys in there, then we know there are probably private keys too

[dacer]

xxd is just some command I guess, right?

[arubi]

try using :

Code: [Select]

xxd wallet.xxxxxx.bak wallet.hex
and see if it shows any public keys in that text

[dacer]

I wonder what are the information inside those wallet.xxxxxx.bak files, if non of them can be parsed correctly, then they might just be different than the wallet files. What are these bak file designed for? There must be someway to use them...

[arubi]

Well, this doesn't look good, maybe try a file recovery program like testdisk?

[dacer]

I tried each and every wallet.xxxxxxxx.bak files, but they all give me this same error:

Code: [Select]

ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this again.

[arubi]

Isn't this the name of the corrupt wallet?

wallet.1387632456.bak

Why dump the new wallet.dat?

pywallet has more options. Try using --dumpwithbalance instead of --dumpwallet to see the balances.

I don't really know about the __db.00# files

 

[dacer]

The leading 'a/' is the directory I backuped my wallet files. It's not the problem.

I now successfully dumped a lot of data into a output file using this command:

Code: [Select]

python pywallet/pywallet.py --wallet=/Users/dong/.protoshares/wallet.dat  --datadir=/Users/dong/.protoshares/ --otherversion=56 --dumpwallet >> ~/Desktop/wallet-recovery3.txt

I'm not sure this 'wallet.dat' file has anything to do with the address I sent my PTS to.

In the dump output file, however, I cannot find the address information for the particular address I sent all my PTS to. Is it because I haven't ever used that fresh address to send out PTS? Where does all these address information saved? I noticed there are several db files. What are they?

Code: [Select]

No the version is fine, I used it on test wallet.

Is your wallet encrypted?
Also, are protosharesd or protoshares-qt running?

It's not encrypted and neither protosharesd nor protoshares-qt is running.

It says

Code: [Select]

--wallet=a/wallet.1387632456.bak
That's not right, notice the /a
