Attempting to assist somebody decrypt a 2016 official mew encrypted personal key. We now have the encrypted personal key and password. Any concepts?
Again in 2016 on the myetherwallet.com web site they used to supply the choice of bulk wallets which you can moreover encrypt with a password. It might then print out each the deal with and the encrypted personal key of these encrypted wallets. And in 2016 the web site allow you to use an encrypted personal key with password to ship a transaction from the web site.
So this particular person has a type of encrypted personal keys and the proper password.
however mow myetherwallet.com will now not settle for a personal encrypted key for a personal key to entry the pockets.
Not even v5.myetherwallet.com will enable a ENCRYPTED personal key though that web site WILL let you enter a daily personal key and instantly switch the contents of the pockets someplace else which is what this particular person needs to do. (He did it already with a few common personal keys.
So we have to decrypt the personal encrypted key and switch it into a daily personal key to in a position to make use of v5.myetherwallet.com to empty this pockets of his.
Oddly sufficient should you use archive.org and return to 2016 to the myetherwallet.com web page it presents you the prospect to decrypt the personal encrypted key. nonetheless it solely then means that you can ship a transaction reasonably than really displaying you what the personal key appears to be like like when it is unencrypted!
It does additionally derive the proper pockets deal with so it seems like it’s doing the decryption appropriately for his encrypted personal key and password. And it does it regardless that it is on archive.org so it should be some JavaScript doing that or one thing that was saved by archive.org in 2016.
However as a result of it is working on archive.org that outdated web site will not let you assemble a transaction file so thats not an choice both.
And Sadly the brand new 2021 model 5 of the myetherwallet.com web site doesn’t let you enter a ENCRYPTED personal key to decrypt.
In order that leaves the present downside.
Now the myetherwallet.com web site is open supply and you may get on GitHub and you may see that THE 2016 ARCHIVE.ORG model of myetherwallet.com has obtained a bunch of JavaScript working to do the decryption.
I do not know what it connects to within the again however I am simply not an professional sufficient within the programming to see the JavaScript operate that really turns an encrypted personal key right into a decrypted common personal key once you put within the password. I simply cannot work out the way it’s doing it.
Any assistance is appreciated!
I ponder what number of different folks have outdated mew official encrypted personal keys printed out that they’re having bother utilizing!
Thanks prematurely.
Edit for reference right here is the outdated 2016 web site that dealt with encrypting and decrypting personal keys

Of you go to the “ship” menu and select enter personal key should you enter an encrypted one it senses it and pops up a field to enter the password after which pops up a button that claims “decrypt” and it’ll then decrypt it however solely present the deal with and provide to construct a transaction file .
