May Bitcoin be touched by his Noodly Appendage

Regarding the public key only, I was thinking, what if you don't know the private key, or do not wish to add it (so it is never seen by hardware or software.) That's my point for adding it to wallet.dat with bogus encryption. Watching only.

I will test the suggested method, maybe that will work if you know the private key. But then, why bother when you can importprivkey using the QT client directly?

You're absolutely right, I posted that just to check if bitcoin-qt accepts bogus private keys/encryption
If it works you'll only have to give the public key

Yes it's just an exe file to install
PWI 0.0.3 should install all dependencies BTW

But yeah don't worry I think other people with pywallet already installed will try

I'd like someone to confirm that the new update system works on windows

Code:

'twisted' package is not installed, pywallet web interface can't be launched

Now if installing twisted is a matter of uncompressing some zip file available in the interwebz I can give it a try, but otherwise I don't really want to fight windows. Somebody else e.g. a current pywallet user should have it already installed.

Yeah of course! Grin

And I forgot I coded the update page that way... That's kinda stupid actually
I'll change that to the ajax way...

Yup good idea I'll put that soon

Code:

That would work too right?

Code:

no, otherwise it would refresh the update site and therefore update itself all 5 seconds lol
update site = "/?update=1"

ADSL routers and the like have a piece of javascript or HTML META tag to refresh the page some time after instructing the router to reboot itself. That mechanism would fit nicely here.

Great, so that works
It's true I should add a little message to say everything happened as expected

I got the "out of date" message. Then clicked on it to upgrade and I got the standard Firefox error about being unable to connect. pywallet output is sane so I guess the Firefox message is normal:

Did a ./pywallet.py again and now it reports being up to date.

Thanks!

To everybody: I pushed the new version, can you check that pywallet tells you there's an update? and that auto-update works?

It's true that you'll lose the transactions but a rescan is rather quick, isn't it?

Ah, I didn't know that a rescan repopulated the wallet with the transactions. I thought the client added each transaction at broadcast time and that was all.

Nope, during a rescan the client reads all the blockchain and repopulate the wallet.
The "issue" is that you lose your unbroadcasted transactions. But it can be used when you made a transaction that won't never be include in a block for example.

Oh yeah I forgot to test that

I just looked at the code and... erm... before importing a private key in an encrypted wallet I don't check if it's the right one (-> todo list'd)
So it makes things easier to test:

create a dummy encrypted wallet
pywallet.py --importhex --importprivkey 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 --passphrase anything_that_is_not_the_correct_passphrase

That should import the address corresponding to 01234... but with the bad encrypted private key
See what then happens (I can't test right now)

What happened to the import public key? (with a bogus private key; this is for encrypted wallets only.)

I had read about that but somehow I got the impression that I would lose the transactions stored in the wallet. I am totally and utterly wrong, no?

Yeah that did it, thank you! The second dump shows an unhandled exception without any additional info:

Yeah it happens sometimes. I didn't look at this matter closely as it doesn't seem serious.

I'd be happy to be able to --dumpwallet into a file, edit that file and then --importdump or something like that.

You can: this then that
