Hello, I switched a month ago on BCH (I'm a miner). I use the Bitcoin ABC client on ubuntu 16.04 for my transaction, today I decided to encrypted my wallet and save it on a usb key. After the encryption I send 0.20 $ to another address (0.05$ fee, comfirmation in 3 min) and put my new password: everything fine. Then I opened the .Bitcoin location to copy/past the wallet.dat on my USB : error permission (I tried on the desk, same error). I used the command sudo nautilus: same error. I rebooted my Linux and tried again : same error. I opened Bitcoin ABC : ERROR wallet.dat corrupted... I reboot and can't read my wallet or move it :/ Edit 23:18 : I successfully opened it (did nothing more) I'll send everything on another wallet to figure out if I can move it or re-open it after Last EDIT : problem fixed, thanks :)
How to restore corrupted wallet.dat bitcoin core ??
Hi few months ago I bought some bitcoin however i sent it to a wallet created via Bitcoincore, after some times i just deleted everything from my computer before the end of the installation process without any backup of my privatekeys or any seed as bitcoin core does not use seed word for recovery. As i really want to restore my BTC I read a lot of different post in many forums and after some deep search think to have found the wallet.dat but it is detected as corrupted by bitcoin core I'm aware of few function such as -salvagewallet but don't know really how to run it on windows 10 as i don't know a thing about coding and stuff. I also notice that there are few software such as pywallet but really how does this stuff work ? I really need a step by step guide where everything is explained . Thanks a lot .
Corrupted wallet.dat with 18 btc - Possible to restore bitcoins?
I have a wallet from yore, had 18 btc that got corrupted and I kind of just lost interest in bitcoins. Well now that 18 is woth $2K or so and I fired up a new bitcoin-qt wallet with that wallet.dat file to see if it would read it. Well it almost did. The GUI read 18 unverified bitcoins at first, and as the blockchain neared completion, it verified every bitcoin. I was so excited. But then it crashed with a runaway exception "can't open database file wallet.dat -30974" I get that error when I try to send a bitcoin too. Any chance of restoring this near-working wallet? EDIT: Bitcoins have been recovered!!!!!!! The final solution was provided by musicbunny, to which I am extremely greatful for his out-of-the box solution. I think pywallet suggested by eof would have done the trick too. The keys probably could have been extracted, but I was running into trouble with my version of Python. Maybe it needed Python 2?
