thanks both of you!
I made some changes to the PROT key just in case, maybe thats why it gave an error. i'll try it again... that is if i can still remember the password.... doh!
Topic: Help with Vanitygen, how decrypt private keys (Read 692 times)
Interesting, after using vanitygen for a long time, I've never tried the encrypt-option.
@astralliam: I recommend to create a new private key, after posting the encrypted version online I wouldn't trust it anymore.
C:\Users\Ynysmon\Downloads\vanitygen-0.20-win (1)>oclvanitygen.exe keyconv PsTNSPvWJF8mNm2JVSnwsX9fSFymdvvXZxecSABwpXrnkHVfUQi4qt8ekDTcgCm7qBAf
At least on Linux, keyconv is an executable on it's own. It doesn't work for me though:Code:
ERROR: Unrecognized key format

Use the code keyconv ENCRYPTED_KEY, it will ask you for the password, and return decrypted private key.
For your case it will be keyconv PsTNSPvWJF8mNm2JVSnwsX9fSFymdvvXZxecSABwpXrnkHVfUQi4qt8ekDTcgCm7qBAf

can you elaborate what you mean by keyconv ENCRYPTED_KEY?

Can I have the source code of the above mentioned vanitygen script?

There is no straightforward way to decrypt it because the decryption is not used anywhere (although implemented) in vanitygen. Just don't use the -e option and the private key will be in unencrypted form.
I'm using vanity get with the -e switch (Encrypt private keys, prompt for password)
this is the output I get:
C:\Users\Ynysmon\Downloads\vanitygen-0.20-win (1)>oclvanitygen.exe -i -e 1AstrLshp

nowhere does it say what to with the "Protkey". Presumably there is some straightfwd way to decrypt it. I know the password. How to decrypt so i can use the account?
