Absolutely
The private key is the "hexsec" entry
If the wallet is encrypted you need to put the passphrase by adding ' --passphrase=PASSPHRASE' in the command line
If the wallet is encrypted you need to put the passphrase by adding ' --passphrase=PASSPHRASE' in the command line
you mean like?:
Code:
python pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir=/home/jj --wallet=walletzz.dat --passphrase=PASSPHRASE

Nope, pywallet will only deal with files you provide to it
Also, dumping won't modify them

Are you sure the directory and filename are correct?
Do you have the correct permissions? (maybe try sudo?)
Are you sure all the bitcoind/bitcoin-qt are closed? (run fuser on it)

i need to clarify something before going forward.
i moved a copy of the wallet.dat in question to the desktop of this pc which is the wallet that i hope to dump the keys from. will running pywallet effect any other wallet.dat on this computer?

Oh yeah sorry
in the directory you want to put pywallet in
In Github you can retrieve the raw file by clicking the 'Raw' button, top left of screen when you click on the file.
Code:
wget https://raw.github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet/master/pywallet.py

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

ok, i'm lost, how do i install it? i'm now in linux and i've installed python, twisted, and bsddb.
Yes
If this definitely doesn't work you could try pywallet
how would i do that? never used it before.
Take a look at pywallet.tk and tell me if something seems strange/difficult.
is this download link working? https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet

can i simply move a copy of the wallet.dat over to a linux computer and then use pywallet to extract private keys?
Yes.

As it's written in the link I just gave you (
), the instructions for Mac is in the README.I never checked myself as I don't have a Mac, they come from an user.
