I have an old copy of a backup of a Bitcoin wallet from over a decade ago. This copy contains about 30,000 characters, with hundreds of +s and /s throughout, ending with “==.” I am at a complete roadblock on what to do with this. Decoding the Base64 directly throws thousands of random symbols, with “Salted_” at the very beginning. I tried JackJack’s PyWallet, BTCRecovery, Bitcoin QT, Electrum, and OpenSSL. They have yielded no results. The wallet itself was made before seed phrases.
I have also searched hundreds of posts but there are very little people in similar situations and there are rare amounts of information on what to do.
Is this a lost cause or is there any hope?
