I’m raising the bounty to $200. Really need to get this info from the wallet.dat files. Is there an easy way to tell if they’re encrypted? They’re both from around late 2013.

I really could use some guidance on how to run that tool. No CDs here, and I’m not familiar with Linux. I’ll throw in a reward for anyone who can help with step-by-step instructions for Mac or PC.

I’m on a Mac. Trying to access some really old wallet.dat files. Downloaded Bitcoin Core and tried swapping my file with their generated one. But I keep getting a "corrupted unable to recover" error. These wallets are…
