$ cat unlock.js 
var key = require("./key.json"),
    keyethereum = require("keythereum");

keyethereum.recover("password", key);

osx, keyethereum version 0.2.1

doh.
ignore this

Answer 2 · 2016-01-18T22:15:25.000Z

actually, no - "crypto" in the keyfile should be lowercase; geth has got it wrong (there's a doc with the format specification somewhere)

Answer 3 · 2016-01-19T01:13:19.000Z

The aim here is to be consistent with geth's implementation. So, if geth is different than the formal specification, keythereum will use geth's version.

Hm, what fields does your key object have? (Note: don't paste the actual values here, just the names of the fields.)
