Do you know what may have caused the damage?

Have you tried to start the qt wallet with '-salvagewallet' or '-repairwallet' parameter?

No luck   Undecided

Long time ago I've seen this thread and bookmarked it. Maybe it helps. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/walletdat-recovery-recover-your-own-lost-bitcoins-22697
If you already started on the hex path, this shouldn't be hard to check if it's good for you or not.
Good luck!

Hi guys,

i'm trying to recover some of the private keys contained in a corrupted NMC encrypted wallet.

I know the passphrase.

I've already tried with this tool https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet and the following command:

sudo python ./pywallet.py --recover --namecoin --recov_device /path/to/corrupted_wallet.dat --recov_size 1Mo --recov_outputdir /home/username/Desktop/recovery

No success! Sad

I've also tried to open and read the wallet with an hex editor to see if i could somehow understand its structure and isolate some private keys but i couldn't really understand anything of that, i can see only 8 "ckeyA" strings are present but NO "mkey", the file looks badly corrupted but only one private key contains namecoin so maybe i can recover that one only.

I'm willing to reward with 2 BTC if someone helps me to recover the private key i need.

I'm posting in the bitcoin section because i think NMC wallet format is the same as BTC wallet format, i hope this thread will not be cancelled or moved,

If you need further information please ask.

Thank you.
