Not unless you know at least something about the password that you used (such as the length and type of characters used). It is an impossible task to brute force an encryption without having this information first.I found my wallet.dat in my old computer. I have to say this since this is a common theme these days: If you have bought this wallet file thinking it contains any bitcoin, don't waste your time it is a fake.Title: Re: [HELP] WALLET.DAT Post by: NotATether on November 27, 2020, 09:11:56 AM When was the wallet file created? If your old computer was running Windows, that information is saved in the file properties. It'll give us an approximation of what version of Core you were using.
Do you remember whether it was a long or short password? Did it have numbers in it or at the end? Did you string words together into a passphrase? Did you only use lowercase characters inside the password? Try to remember what kind of password it was, because a little hint can go a long way to recovery, by reducing the search space for the password by a large factor. Title: Re: [HELP] WALLET.DAT Post by: ABCbits on November 27, 2020, 09:32:21 AM Depending on how much Bitcoin is on wallet.dat that you found, it's possible the cost to brute force the password is higher than Bitcoin value on fiat.
I would advice you should download Bitcoin Core to find out how much Bitcoin is on wallet.dat that you found. Anyone can help me. Not unless you know at least something about the password that you used (such as the length and type of characters used). It is an impossible task to brute force an encryption without having this information first.And it's still not crack-able if the possible combination (based on what OP remember) is way too much. When was the wallet file created? If your old computer was running Windows, that information is saved in the file properties. It'll give us an approximation of what version of Core you were using. AFAIK Bitcoin Core is backward compatible and can open wallet.dat which created with older version.

I will pay 15% Which "key" are you talking about? If you don't know the password, you'll have to bruteforce it. Depending on the length and complexity of the password this either is a possible or impossible task. The more you know about the password, the better your chances are. Unfortunately you gave us very little information, so we can't really say anything else. If you however bought the wallet file, then you got scammed and the wallet does not contain any keys and therefore no bitcoins can be retrieved. |
