This post is about an error I got when attempting to run pywallet.py, a python program that can be used to fix corrupt wallet.dat files. Here is the output pasted from an XP cmd window:
Code:
C:\pywallet-master>pywallet.py --recover --recov_device c:\ancwallet.dat --recov
_size 30Gio --recov_outputdir c:\recoveredwalletdir
Enter the passphrase for the wallet that will contain all the recovered keys: password
Enter the possible passphrases used in your deleted wallets.
Don't forget that more passphrases = more time to test the possibilities.
Write one passphrase per line and end with an empty line.
Possible passphrase: password
Possible passphrase:
Starting recovery.

Question 1: does the recover function in pywallet.py look at the data directory? _size 30Gio --recov_outputdir c:\recoveredwalletdir

Question 2: how can I get rid of the EVP_aes_256_cbc error?
Question 3: why does this program output stuff even though I got this error?
Question 4: why is the "--recov_size" set to 30Gio? Is this how far into the corruptwallet.dat file it reads?
Question 5: is "--recov_device" supposed to be the corrupt unreadable wallet.dat file or disk data with potential keys?
Question 6: Why did it "recover" so many keys?
Question 7: What are all the next steps to getting my altcoin-qt.exe program to loading or rebuilding my old wallet.dat again?
