Hi, Dave!
I've been reading a lot of great things about your work, and I'm unfortunately in need of your services.
I've used my Trezor wallet once last year, had gone through the initial set-up, did a test transfer, and proceeded to stash all of my coins into it. I didn't know that it was going to be my downfall. I really do not remember ever being asked to enter a passphrase during the initial setup. I've been trying to recover it with my best efforts but to no avail.
I know that being a new member on this forum can easily make people dismiss my case, but I can provide proof of my claim. I am just someone who made a really awful mistake. I was quietly HODLing my BTC, hence why I was never really active on forums. The purpose of me posting this is to also have some sort of documentation of this process, whichever way it might go. I would like to offer you more than 20% of your required fee--I'm pledging to give you 4 BTC if you ever do recover it.
Hoping to get a response from you soon.
Thanks and stay safe.
Hi Splashboard, I'm happy to help. I've sent a response to your follow-up email. Dave |

Usually it takes how long to get the password for wallet.dat
Just normal idea
What is the success rate？
Hi. Sometimes it is quick (< 1 hour), sometimes long (>7 days), and sometimes not possible. It all depends on whether you have good starting information for your password guesses. Cheers Dave |

Hi. I have used Armory for years, and I really like it.! Thanks for maintaining it The latest builds (since 0.96, and including this latest 0.96.02 test build), do not output the comments when the transaction lists are exported via the "Export Transactions" to CSV menu. For instance: 2014-Apr-21 12:58pm,9eb...,738339,3AznXg8eo,MyWallet (Watch),0.01,,, 0.01000000, 0.01000000,"" In previous versions, this was output as: 2014-Apr-21 12:58pm,9eb...,738339,3AznXg8eo,MyWallet (Watch),0.01,,, 0.01000000, 0.01000000,"InputTest" So you can see that the comment (which is still visible in the Armory UI) is missing from the Exported Transactions. Can you advise / fix? I really need this comment information to maintain my records of transactions... Thanks Dave |

Hi I've used Armory for years. Lovely software Since I have upgraded to 0.96.0 (on Windows), one of my wallets behaves weirdly. To be specific: when I click the 'Receive Bitcoins' button, it does exactly nothing. When I have other wallets open, and I click that button, it correctly shows the relevant popup window. (the 'New Receiving Address' window) Can you advise? Is this a known bug? Is there a work around? Cheers Dave |

Beware, i sent Dave my ethereum pre-sale wallet months ago and he never replied. Now i can't even check the balance because he probably stole my ethereum. Biggest mistake I've made in my life.
Hi I certainly haven't stolen your ethereum. Please let us know your public ethereum address, and we will all look at the balance. I am contacted by many people every day about their wallets. Sometimes the information supplied is insufficient, or appears fraudulent, in which case I might not have replied to you. If you have a valid wallet recovery question or issue, please send me another email, mentioning that you are user 'ethereumscrypt' from this forum, and I will take a look. Cheers Dave |

Hi,
One question on Ethereum wallet: a user need to send you the whole keystore json right?
There is no lucky feature like in Bitcoin to send you just a bit of the wallet?
Just some curiosity: how many guesses per second can you perform on a single instance?
Thanks for your time.
Hi. That is correct, for both the ethereum presale and ethereum wallet formats, there is no way to send 'limited' information which enables trustless third-party decryption of a wallet. On my rigs, guesses/second is in the range of 300,000/second for GPU based ethereum pre-sale wallet decryption (but much less for the mist/ethereum wallet format). Cheers Dave |

I sent my wallet on the 03.03. and Dave doesn't answer my emails.
So it looks like it's a scam! Please watch out people!!
Just to clarify, I've been working at decrypting this wallet. I haven't succeeded yet. I was busy with other things over the last few days, and I didn't reply to OP promptly when he asked for a status update. I certainly haven't scammed him or taken his coins! Hopefully I can still recover his wallet for him. Cheers Dave |

Hi all,
does anyone know if it would be possible to extract parts (some Characters) from a Bitcoin QT Wallet?
I have extracted the hash key from my Bitcoin Wallet and tried tokens plus my own password lists via
btcrecover.py but it seems so my known password(s) are not working. :-(
It may be super helpful if I could get just some letters extracted so I could probably remember
my password....
Thank you in advance!
Hi No, unfortunately either the full password is found, or not. There is no way to determine just 'part' of a password via a brute fore attack... Cheers Dave |

Just wondering if this service is still available? Just spent 30 minutes reading the thread and now I am curious lol.
Hi. Yes, I'm still actively providing this service. Cheers Dave (walletrecoveryservices.com) |

I use btcrecover , but i need an advice about the token file !
I am not familiar with the tool that you are using. Could you provide me with a link?
In case that you are stuck / you are willing to give up, there is a somewhat reputable service that does password recovery. They will however take a 20% cut of the balance found there. Take a look: https://walletrecoveryservices.com - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.20Thanks for the plug. I am in contact with OP now. I hope that I can help. Cheers Dave walletrecoveryservices.com |

Hi Dave Bitcoin here - the subject of the CoinDesk.com article, http://www.coindesk.com/meet-man-will-hack-long-lost-bitcoin-wallet-money/ Yes, just to confirm, if you have a strong password on your wallet, then it is not possible to 'hack' the wallet. If you completely forget your password, then your funds will be forever inaccessible... Where walletrecoveryservices.com can help is when you have a wallet and some idea about what the password might be. (or if you have put a 'weak' password on your wallet). In this case, often we can decrypt your wallet for you and recover your password.  Cheers Dave |

@Dave: I've always wondered: how do you make sure you get your cut in case someone used the method where he doesn't share the keys?
Hi Molecular. As you know, the method of producing 'limited' wallet information from a bitcoin-core wallet has been proven to be 'safe' for the owner of the wallet. By this, I mean that if someone sends me the limited wallet information, there is literally no way for me to take possession of the coins. So, in answer to your question... I have no way of being sure of my cut in this situation. In practise, I have been very pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are honest enough to send me my success fee when I have helped them recover their money. I would say that fewer than 15% have reneged on their part of the deal. Given that most people that contact me remain anonymous, that is surprisingly low. I guess that when you are looking at losing the entire amount of bitcoins, then to receive typically 80% of them back is pretty pleasing, and most do pay me the fee. To add to this explanation, in fact most people these days just send me their wallet.dat file directly. I guess that I've been around long enough, and gained enough trust for people to feel comfortable doing that. Plus other wallet formats (like armory, BitGo, airbitz, BIP38, Eth-pre-sale, etc) do not even have the ability to send 'trustless', limited wallet information, so those people just send me their wallet file. I am well aware that my business model relies heavily upon trust and my reputation, so I ensure that I act honestly at all times with my clients (who now number over 900). Cheers Dave |

What make-up? About what you speak. I provided proofs, there are all files which I sent Dave and correspondence is visible. I don't need your coins. The person who provided to me a wallet demands return of the sum. And dave doesn't hurry to send or at all decided not to give.
Why do you think Dave is in control of the money? The guy demanding to be given his coins by you might as well have moved the coins himself. It's a trap! Hi All. Ok, here is the actual situation, with regards to the 100 BTC in question: This wallet first surfaced in June 2014. Refer to the thread in this forum at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663544.20The wallet was actually stolen from an FTP site, and belongs to a respected user on this forum, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105669 This wallet has been floating around the internet since then, but it has a strong password, and has never been cracked. Over the years, I have been sent this wallet several times, by different people. (and when it was first sent to me, I didn't realize it was stolen, and I tried to crack it, but without success.) Anyway, a few days ago, this new guy, 'User Good', sent me the wallet. Not knowing the details of the wallet, I agreed to my standard contract of a 20% success fee. However once he sent me the wallet, I realized that this was the stolen wallet from 2 years ago. At this point, I sent an email to the actual owner, informing him that this wallet was floating around with a bunch of hackers. He then moved the coins from that compromised wallet to somewhere else. I informed 'User Good' about exactly what had occurred. That would normally be the end of the (happy) story, however now 'User Good' is badgering me for the return of 'his' 100 BTC. He even admits that the wallet was sent to him from someone else, and he has no idea of the password. He threatened to vilify me on the forums unless I sent him some bitcoins. I informed the actual owner (Technologov) about this, and he kindly clarified the situation - see the last posting in the thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663544.0;allAll the information above is verifiable, and I have email conversations to prove it, including my correspondence with the rightful owner. Cheers Dave |
