Title: Is this possible, Satoshi's wallet.dat? Post by: marimanga on November 18, 2020, 12:06:20 PM Hi,
If you go at https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/1 - https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX you will see this address is from Block 1 in 2009 generated 50 BTC but this wallet.dat has been revealed from some users, how it's possible to get the file from satoshi probably this was and early miner but block 1? nahh i think this was satoshi's address and im curious to know how some user got his wallet.dat file. Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242967.0 Addresses in row "10" Title: Re: Is this possible, Satoshi's wallet.dat?

So right now we know how satoshi encrypted his wallets (Probably he used 1st addresses as passphrase) we only need wallet.dat files lol ;D Title: Re: Is this possible, Satoshi's wallet.dat? Post by: LoyceV on November 18, 2020, 12:16:58 PM im curious to know how some user got his wallet.dat file. He didn't. The only way to prove ownership of an address is by signing a message or transaction. Those fake wallet.dat files that scammers sell to gullible people don't have the private key. It's fake.Don't waste your time or CPU cycles on it. Title: Re: Is this possible, Satoshi's wallet.dat? Post by: ranochigo on November 18, 2020, 12:17:46 PM Wallet.dat can be modified to display anything you want. The wallet.dat doesn't contain Satoshi's address and it was merely modified to show the address and its transactions. Any wallet.dat you see floating around is likely one that's modified and it's done for scammers to sell them and trick them into thinking the wallet.dat is authentic.

We'll i know that but if you import this wallet.dat to newest version of GUI and enter passphrase an error will appear "Some keys decrypt but some not" but if you use an older version you will unlock wallet but not able to spend those BTC Title: Re: Is this possible, Satoshi's wallet.dat? Post by: nc50lc on November 19, 2020, 07:26:40 AM Ah, this must be related to your other thread: Signed transaction failed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289060.0), no?
-snip- but if you import this wallet.dat to newest version of GUI and enter passphrase an error will appear "Some keys decrypt but some not" but if you use an older version you will unlock wallet but not able to spend those BTC The error is just a minor detail and it must be not yet included in the code of the 'old version', what's happening is the background is the same:That wallet doesn't have the correct key to spend any of those three coinbase transactions (in exception to genesis block's which can't be spent even if you have the prvkey). |
