Topic: [SOLVED!]Need PYWallet Help - dumping private key (Read 1009 times)
Posted a little premature. Got it imported into multibit thanks for those that wasted time reading this
Well long story short I had an android wallet on my phone. I apparently outgrew it as I received an email from the developer that it was running out of memory due to the number of transactions at which time it lost transactions and I can't transfer the btc out because it crashes and shows incorrect amount.
I have a password protected backup of the wallet.dat but the format doesn't import easily into other wallets as I understand it is bitcoinj and not bitcoind if I am reading posts correctly? I was attempting to use pywallet to dump the private keys so I can then transfer the btc into multibit or something similar so I can send it off to storage.
I don't know python syntax, I am on a windows7 machine and the web interface gives errors when trying to dump the wallet or keys. I have also tried the following syntax command line:
pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir=DATADIR --wallet=WALLETFILE --passphrase=PASSPHRASE
Is there anyone that can help me through this process? I'll throw a little btc your way!
