Bitcoin Forum

What you guys think about all those hashes, are they legit wallets or are fake ? because after making huge research i just found there is chinese website that edit wallet.dat files by importing fake wallet info of specific btc addresses and generate so they can be opened in bitcoin core. So when someone check address he can see that there is balance, and get the wallet file. After opening the wallet file, person can also see that there is balance is transaction info inside. But can never unlock the password, so upon my research i can see that all those wallets being sold online such as on site like allprivatekeys or on any forums are fake and edited versions with fake wallet info to confuse the people and make money.

Here are few wallets, i am interesting to make discussion on and want you guys to see and tell what you think if these hashes generated from wallet.dat files being sold online for those btc addresses are real or fake.

Probably, they are real encrypted wallet from bitcoin core yet no one has ever decrypted them (I suppose) since you can still see the balance after importing.

Hello mastergraphiks.

If you want, I can change your 4.3 BTC. wallet (1CQyjZ8Rptd9YnZW7rX87rmni8HAPfwRgh)
for mine 5.03448336 BTC. (1JWXHwtBuVGDDjrVDQNFaBHhw7AhuuPeV9).

If you are interested, send me a private message with a link where I can download your "wallet.dat" and I will do the same.

A greeting.

Just think, why on earth would somebody give hundreds of thousands worth of money for pennies?
They are most likely tampered, or erroneous, or the funds moved away long ago.
But as long as there are suckers buyers for this scam "business", it flourishes.

My advice is to stop dreaming and start thinking. Bitcoin is money. And if you want to get money, you have to get it like you'd get any other kind of money. If you see fairy stories, be wary.

I don't have idea how they can do that but being skeptical such items to be bought would help to avoid being robbed.

Thank you everyone for participating in this discussion, so all these wallets are fake and generated by one of the guy from xingfeng, because few fake wallets consist of password from his btc address where he request people to support, so means he has tempered the wallets and set his btc address as wallet password which were reliever by someone, but then this guy might set different passwords for each wallet after tempered, so its just waste of time to spend time on those BTC wallets and addresses.

Just so anyone still want to waste his time like i did after looking into fake tempered fortune wallet then read below:

I have tried following lists against all above wallets

crackstation.txt ( Big list )
humanreadlist.txt
hashesorg2019.txt
rocklist.txt without and with OneRuletoRuleThemAll
ALL BTC addresses with positive balance h160 and base58
Massive list of transaction codes
Allot of other password lists available on the internet

And success rate = 0%

A wallet.dat file is a file for obtaining money, you cannot sell something that will generate a higher income for you for a little money, meaning if there is the slightest chance to make a profit from these wallets, why do they sell them at a cheaper price?
All wallets are a scam and may lead to theft of your coins + wasted money that you used to buy them.

There is no point in seeing the balance in these wallet files unless you can spend it

Hi,

I found some of these wallets (dork+little tricks) and other that are sold on internet.

I tried :
 - brute force from 1 to 7
 - rockstatic2a
 - all bitcoin addresses (27GB)
 - all ethereum addresses upper/lower/without  0x (9GB)
 - all ethereum transaction hash upper/lower/without 0x (160BG)

Without any result for now.

I planed to check with WordlistBySheez_v8 (174GB), dict from all leaks i've found (250GB), hashes.org (when it will be back) and hashkiller (4GB).
(all the dictionaries I used are diffed between each other)

But I have no hope  :-\

Keep try remaining list just for fun if you want to, if you did not able to find password of those fake wallets, at-least it will help others to stop wasting time on finding passwords from those lists as well purchasing these wallets online from people who selling and make people fool. My badluck, i am one of those who has been convinced to buy, so i did and wasted money on finding fortune inside fake wallets.

This is so unsafe, people can even swap their wallet.dat file for another? Really? Anyone engaging in such act must be very careful and don't end up exchanging a stolen fund or assets for your clean btc, you really need to be careful

There are many wallet.dat offers on this forum. It makes me curious because I haven’t see someone successfully unlock a wallet from this kind of activity yet. Or any successful attempts that I miss?
Somehow I think wallet.dat buyers just buy it to re-sell it again.
It’s like a database reselling activity.

Hello! I have a huge list of passwords and rainbow tables, about 7 terabytes. A huge farm of video cards.
I would like to try them in practice and twist wallet.dat
Where to take for a sample? Willing to share 50% on luck

I also think that there are some wallet.dat-producer out there. As it was menation some times already it is psooble to "copy" or
create such wallets, and therefor you even not have to put any BTC on them...

Bye

contact me in PM, willing to try it with you!

there is no free lunch. someone can legit put a bunch of BTC on a wallet, encrypt it with a ridiculous pwd and sell it. nobody will ever be able to crack it.

Wow, just wow.. i can't believe that humans have evolve to this level of stupidity to believe this, or trust someone would sell wallets for pennies.

You are engaged in an empty work here is a real wallet, the conditions for opening it below
Here you can try a real wallet 100% on it 50 coins if you open 20% of yours Prompt 1989 then nickname how many characters nickname is unknown Here is the hash $ bitcoin $ 64 $ f95b995bd952613281a7fbf16a37abfa342d579a651d2fcf32c21d7479fe587e $ 164c6199e $ 164999 $ 2 $ 00

Why do people buy these wallets when they cannot cash out and if the cashing out from these wallet were easy, the seller would have himself transferred all the money to himself rather than selling them for cheap. Its a common sense and people should use their mind before paying for these useless wallet.dat files.

Wallet.dat files that are being sold online need to be well analyzed by the market before buying them these can be new scams for scammers they can sell with access to all the wallets, so if you use the wallet they will know everything. This type of wallet does not carry anything personal and does not need to be bought and used with money as it is more risky it’s their new strategy of making money many countries in the world including China, are making money using this type of wallet. These are not legal in any country so it is better to stay away from this type of wallet.

Saw your post about needing to crack a wallet hash.
I've got a large cracking rig, happy to help.
The hash in the message didn't seem complete.
PM me if you wanna try it out.

I have not researched on this one but one thing is for sure that you won't be rich if you bought these wallet.dat files. If it was so easy to get the money from these wallets, why wouldn't the seller not sell these wallets file and extract the coin themselves. They can't extract it, that's why they are selling them to innocent people.

mastergraphiks
contact me, i want to buy one wallet from you

So did you bought any wallet.dat file and were you able to extract the bitcoins in it ?
I think all this is scam and there are no bitcoins in those wallet.dat files. I don't understand how it shows that the wallet contains bitcoin but in reality they are empty  ???

Nothing comes this easy lol. Common sense  :D

maybe its real, but no one can break it, so it's useless

there is one small here

https://satoshidisk.com/pay/C8s1gq

inform us here if you can find the password.

Sometimes the wallet.dat file contains bitcoins but people have forgotten the private keys or passphrase. There is a script called Bitcoin2john which extract the hash from the wallet. You can then use programs like hashcat to extract to decrypt the passphrase. Thats why people buy these wallet.dat files and hope to find the private keys. But usually the effort is wasted and they get nothing.

Wow seriously.... Like are they guys serious about that offer and I can't even believe that they have reached to the superior level in stupidity.... But it might be real but it's useless according to my perspective

I understand that satoshidisk increased minimal price to 0.001, but to pay so much for one wallet?
Here you may find 20x more for lower price

There is no doubt that our data was sold in millions of dollars. Data is power. Companies collect our personal data and sell it to other companies. So, that they collect our data and use it data for hacking purpose. Our wallet addresses, our information collected from different sources such as bounties and  airdrops.

Are you drunk?

I quit my project wallet.dat and will spend more power in BSGS.
I collected 40 wallet.dat over the time.
Different source. Some are bought.

In every file there is at least a wallet.dat. In some files there is already the extracted hash. If available there are password hints included.
See the zip file was you get for your money.

After cleared payment you will get the password for the archive.
Or you can try to recover the password for the zip file too :-)

Price is 0.0013 BTC obo.

Dont' try to sell your fake wallets.dat here. I checked your rar file and what did i discovered? A bunch of files who have the exact typo of my files in the folder "fake_wallet.dat"
Don't buy his fake wallet pack.
Have a nice day

Idk if this discussion is always active but i put 3 more addresses who are fake :

No one is going to buy this wallet.dat from you without the escrow. Also someone above have identified that all these files are a combination of fake wallet pack. What's your say on it?
Just remember one thing, the money which you get by deceiving people, will never benefit you. Hope you will stop this evil service.

Believe it or not.

The majority of wallets sold online are fake. The websites that sell them are almost 100% fake. I do not recommend buying wallet.dat files at all. However, I know there are people online who have purchased wallet.dat from a website and successfully cracked. I don’t remember where he bought it from, but I believe it was about 50 BTC. My advice is to see where your buying the wallet from and see if it’s trustworthy. See if it’s possible to get the public key from the wallet and be sure the seller can answer your questions well.

If anybody wants to try hacking wallets here I can give you few:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ILt5nGWpAD-FEdLKA0fhNFy5i3-UNhjD/view?usp=sharing

You don't have to pay anything.

I don't know if they are real or fake. From my research for sure ONE of these walltes is fake (the one i added to the filename  'XingFeng')

The others look legit but i would not bet on it.

To make you cracking attepmts a bit easier i can assure you than short passwords (from one to 5 chars) don't match. Also the wordlists you can find online like on page weakpass  they also don't match.

Also list of all bitcoin addresses with balances don't match  + list of all btc addresses ever used don't match.

So you need to have  a unique wordlist or trying bruteforce on passwords longer than 5 chars  and that will take ages...

Have fun...

Without the wallet (IF it is genuine) the password, (IF, you can find it) is not much use.
You end up with the situation that Alice has the password,  Bob has the key and immediately you have the problem of trust.
As soon as one hands over their information, the wallet would be emptied.
Spend the money you would have wasted on electricity 'hashing passwords' to buy a lottery ticket. Much better odds.

Exactly.

This may be OT and I'll retract/delete this post if it goes too far off course, but there are similar Dark Web sites pertaining to be selling Wallets with Bitcoins in them.

If somebody would like to play a game with me, I can give them the address of a Wallet.

If it can be broken, that person gets to keep 90% and I'll take 10% - as that person will be doing the Lion Share of the work and the only Python I know of is Monty and the snakes what can bite you.

The Wallet.dat extraction looks simple enough, but I'm the sort of idiot who'd get it wrong - I could burn water on a good/bad day.  Plus I only have Windows 11 and a bog-standard £525 HP computer.

If somebody could explain it to me as if I was a mentally challenged two year old, I might be able to open a wallet someday.

(When I did IT at school, Clipart was considered as 'Cutting Edge').

 Hi, yes you can send it to me ill give it try. If you need some help my email:Superbit1@protonmail.com.

If it's legitimate, why aren't they attempting self-recovery instead of selling in the market?

Looks like you've really dug deep into this. Honestly, it's a bit of a wild west out there when it comes to these hashes and online wallets. You're right to be cautious. It's hard to say for sure, but some of these could definitely be fishy.

Do you have any wallets that have been hacked since 2019 (with passpharse or private key)?
*A wallet that has already been withdrawn and has a zero balance.

I'm buying these wallets.

Even with the master key that is supposedly in the bigcrypt hash, it is still very difficult to decrypt. Hashcat runs a little bit faster, but I'm guessing most of these passwords are set very high with little chance of getting the passwords without very expensive rigs that Bruce Wayne owns. My bitcoin was taken by hackers or police, and it led me down a dark road.  :-X

Or the Bitcoins never existed in the wallets to begin with. So they (scammers) use the false impression to sell off the useless wallets to greedy fellows who think they have a chance of cracking the wallet and walk away with lots of imaginary Bitcoins.

or may you just let your guard down and got your seeds or private keys to leak. I mean, there are so many possibilities.

Guys, be careful not to waste money on these things, usually these sites come with files that are and smell like scams
not to mention that if they were real they would have a password to guess and if others much better equipped have not succeeded..

my advice is not buy

-_-
