Don't give up on it, just keep it until fees get lower again (somewhere in the far future?).

Are you sending 1 input worth 0.002BTC entirely to miners?

That would create much bigger problems: anybody could read it from your screen!
The common solution against typing errors is to enter the password twice, but just to be sure, I always test if I can unlock my wallet anyway.

Your best odds are to reproduce everything you've ever copy/pasted. You're in luck if it's a used Bitcoin address, as they're all public information and can be extracted from the blockchain.

With 44 random characters you don't stand a chance, unless a vulnerability in the encryption will be found in the future.

You could be on to something here: Notepad and Wordpad handle those in a different way. You could even try installing the same Windows version, just in case (even though it's a long shot, it's a lot more likely than brute forcing it).

Fees are terrible high at the moment. Sites don't like small deposits, because it costs a lot to consolidate the small inputs.

You can set a lower fee manually, but that means your transaction will take a long time. Currently, any input lower than 0.001BTC isn't worth sending. The required fee is higher than that amount. If you have 0.002BTC in your wallet, in 2 or more small inputs, the sad reality is you can't use it until the fees go down.

This won't help. Suppose you add 0.008BTC, bringing your total balance to 0.01BTC. Now suppose the required fee is 0.004BTC, that leaves you 0.006BTC to send. You're better off sending the 0.008BTC directly to somewhere else.

My advice: Keep your 0.002 BTC, but don't bother trying to use it at this current high fees.

Is your oldest backup from before encrypting the wallet? If so, see what is says when you open it in Bitcoin Core.

For this reason, I always type at least part of the password I copy/paste when I enter it the second time for verification. This ensures I'm not accidentally copying something else.

Do you by any chance have a backup of your wallet.dat from before the encryption?

When you said "Bitcoin wallet", I assumed you have a wallet.dat file made by Bitcoin Core (or bitcoin-qt). This article is about brain wallets, cracking them doesn't target your wallet, it cracks random wallets.

I've deleted some posts, as this is not the place for price speculation. It can be discussed in [GBYTE] Byteball Speculation.

Brute force you won't have a chance, with a smart attack like racquemis says it might work.

Can you buy the same keyboard and try to reproduce what you did at the time?

Many people use it, so the 100 transactions per hour fill up very quickly.

You should avoid small transactions, your 0.00048874 BTC output for instance is smaller than the fee required to use it again. Basically, it's worthless dust at the moment.

A quick solution is to export the private key from Bitcoin Core, and import it into Electrum. But it's totally fine to keep using the pruned version of Bitcoin Core, on an SSD it shouldn't take too long to sync. The pruned version should only take a couple of GB.

The default location for .bitcoin is:

Unless you were very low on disk space from the start, it shouldn't be a problem. The chainstate directory is still a few GB after pruning.

I suggest you close Bitcoin Core, and start it from the console like this:
This should work without any config file adjustments.

You can probably do this, but it means you have to completely trust electroncash. A much safer approach is to move your Bitcoin to a new address, one that isn't related to your old wallet, before importing your private key in any untrusted software.

After this, you can import the private key to access your Bitcoin Cash. I don't trust Electron Cash on my normal computer though, so I used it in a VM (Virtual Machine) to be safe.

Next, you can do the same for Bitcoin Gold and Bitcore (I used Coinomi on Android to import those private keys).

Bittrex stopped taking on new users:

At least it's something, of course they should have taken measures before reducing withdrawal limits to zero, but this at least means the number of victims stops going up.

If you read what you're quoting you'll see you can do that right now.

It could be interesting if BEEB starts accepting other coins too, so you can buy blackbytes with LTC for instance.

Many threads like this pop up recently, can you demonstrate your skills on 12346d2306658364cc137d5b3224438835fc8d800911c21157a9bf3965a09d73 ?
It's not my transaction, I got it from this thread. It has a low fee, and has been unconfirmed for 40 days. If you get this confirmed within 24 hours, I'll be impressed!

Update 2 days later: still unconfirmed.

I'm pretty sure it should work, but if it doesn't work, you're just back to where you are now.

It's a new transaction and can be any address.

Deal

I don't know, unfortunately.

There won't be a third party, I won't sell your keys, I'll import them in my Bitcoin Core, wait 2 hours to rescan, and make a transaction to your address with much higher fee. This is how I used to double spend, so I assume this still works. If you're okay with me having a share, I'll happily keep a share.

I think the double spend happened when you make a new transaction, while the first is still in mempool.

No need, this can all be public (except for your private keys of course!).

Giving 3 parties access to the same private key doesn't make it any safer.

ID has no value when it comes to crypto, nobody is going to hunt you down for 0.006BTC.

Like I said, I can give it a try in Bitcoin Core, and given my track record here I think it's pretty obvious I'm not going to scam you for that.

$60 bonus is always nice.

If they keep broadcasting: very long.

That's also an easy solution.

Sorry, so Electrum doesn't allow for double spends. I didn't know that.

The buyer would be dumb: you still have access after selling them.
I could try it for you from Bitcoin Core, but that goes directly against the "do not ever trust anyone with your private keys" principle.

You're going at it the wrong way: you don't have to mix your 10 Bitcoins if you see no reason to do so. If, however, you'd like to hide something from someone, you can use a mixer.
You got those 10 Bitcoin from somewhere, that means someone knows you have them. He also knows how long you've had them, and he also knows it's currently worth $188,000. If you use a mixer, he loses any connection to what he knows about your current wealth.

Dice sites earn from people wagering a lot. If someone wagers the same 1 Bitcoin 10 times, the total house edge went up to 10% already. ChipMixer earns from donations, and people wagering some amount only once, or at most a few times. Therefore ChipMixer has a higher house edge, but it's the only mixer that gives you a change to withdraw more than you deposited.

You're wrong. I recently stumbled upon this article: Locating Monero Users via Transaction Broadcasts, it explains the difference between "anonymous" and "untraceable":
Monero is untraceable, but it's not anonymous.

I see threads like this a lot lately, but usually it turns out they bought the Bitcoins later than they thought. If it's really 2010-2011, you could have turned every dollar you spent into a million dollars now.

Go through the files, search for a wallet or anything that looks like it. It could even be a text-file. When you find it, before doing anything else, create a backup on a USB-stick. Then, create another backup!
Keep your wallet offline, don't copy it to an online computer, until you've figured out what to do with it. Good luck treasure hunting!
