Correlation , enough said.
My question simply is in a time of hysteria why sell out things that will be of more value in said hard times.
Unless said items where merely marketed as a fail safe without acutally being a fail safe.

No one said Bitcoin was made for times like these...it was simply a way to transact without a central authority. All the store of value talk came after the fact

Read my post about continuous growth

There is no guarantee that Bitcoin will go up and no guarantee that bitcoin will go down,
no matter the circumstances.

I can guarantee that Bitcoin will either go up or go down every single day.

Nope - here is some of the words. ignoramus candlelight cashiered corporately. There's actually 17 total words now that I look at it.

mnemonic generators have always tried avoiding complicated words, past tense and adverbs (corporately) and generally words that could have more than one form and could be confusing. your words don't exist in any of the word lists which means there is a good chance it is a brain wallet.

ps. i couldn't find these set of words on GitHub or Google except in dictionary lists containing thousands of words (if it were mnemonic it should have been in a shorter 2048 word list in a project)

Hmm. Resynced and now it's stuck at "rescanning" (well sat like this for about 45 minutes so far) when I try to open Bitcoin Core... don't have remote access to my home PC at work so I'll have to look into it further later tonight. Maybe it's not even a Bitcoin wallet? No idea at this point lol

Do you only have rounds & bars? Any US currency ?

Maybe that's a "Brainwallet", did it ring a bell?

It couldn't be a BIP39 seed if you're sure that it's from 2013 because it was just published on that year's last quarter (but there's a chance).
Did the words from that 12-word backup matched any of the words in this list: BIP39 Word-list?

Nope - here is some of the words. ignoramus candlelight cashiered corporately. There's actually 17 total words now that I look at it.

Hmm...

I have both wallet.dat file (random gibberish when it's opened in notepad) and then a notepad file called Bitcoin that looks like a 12 word seed. Both dated 12/24/2013  I'm currently resyncing Bitcoin Core and should know when I wake up what the deal is. I don't remember where these files came from. I briefly CPU/GPU mined in 2013 and didn't get back into crypto until 2016. I doubt there's anything on it. If I remember correctly I ended up mining like .0003 but I feel like I was part of a pool that had a web wallet but I honestly don't remember lol. I used to use my work PCs to CPU mine

The wallet file is encrypted that is why it shows random character when opening it to notepad.

Have you heard about the Multibit wallet it might be generated from a multibit wallet so try to check that wallet to recover your old wallet?

- https://multibit.org/help/hd0.1/restore-wallet.html

Tried that. I don't think it's a seed phrase. I think it was a password I was required to use to encrypt a wallet. I feel like it was from a website generated wallet not Bitcoin core, but I don't know. Any chance there's a list of Bitcoin mining sites/wallet sites from 2013 anywhere? lol

Very old versions of Electrum have a '.dat' extension to its wallet files, and ofc a seed phrase.
Specifically v1.8.1 from 2013.
Have you tried to open a copy of the wallet file using a text editor?

are you sure those wallet files are readable because usually .dat files are used for when you store data as binary not plain text which means opening it with a text editor should technically show you random looking weird characters instead of a readable text.

Yeah it's in prune mode, you'll have to redo the syncing process once more with the wallet imported...

This is a standard error imo.

The 12 words is probably a password, bitcoin core didn't come with mnemonics in 2013 or any year....

How do I import the wallet? Is there an import option or do I just drop it in the Bitcoin Core folder?

I have a wallet.dat file from 2013 that I'm pretty sure is empty, but I'd like to try and get it open. I don't know where it came from, but I do have a 12 word seed phrase with it. I downloaded Bitcoin Core and synced 290GB or w/e it was entire blockchain. When I try to open it I get the following message. Any other ideas?

Received my Bitcar painting today and it fits in perfectly in my office. The original photos for this did not do it any justice, this thing looks awesome in person. Many thanks.

Hi there - can you send me the FBI contact? I lost money as well. I tried to message you, but it says your settings won't allow me to.

Thanks,
Jenna

I've sent you a DM with the agent's email address. You should be prepared to have a 10-15 minute phone call with her.

276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What's going on with Binance and Steem? on: March 02, 2020, 09:36:45 PM
Can anyone explain this in simpler terms and or with knowledge of what took place?
Sounds like Binance used user funds to initiate a hard-fork on the Steem platform or am I making it sound too simple?
