I’m seeing so many variations of software throughout this thread and the other one. If I wanted to randomly let my pc waste electricity on weekends doing a random search for #66, what would be my best bet?

I have a 3070 and can switch to my Ubuntu partition if that’s better. I know my chances are probably like 0.001%, but I just want to feel like I’m joining the big boys on the hunt.

Thank you all for your help.

I wasn't able to use the extract script, but using the dev tools I was able to extract two payloads that look like
Code:
{"pbkdf2_iterations":5000,"version":3,"payload":"jshhfjsagfhsjdgfasukdfgsuafgudfgsauyfguhfusag"}

I saved both as .txt files and now I'll start reading about bruteforcing my old passwords.

I've noticed btcrecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover) hasn't been updated in years. Is this still the right git repository to use or should I pivot to https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover ?


Edit: I also noticed this message from Blockchain. Now that I've extracted my file, would I be impacted by this with BTCRecover?
Quote
"Important Note Some older blockchain.com wallets (2014-2015 era at least, perhaps more) have a bug where some private keys were incorrectly encoded and saved to the wallet file... (Basically if the hex encoded private key included any leading zeroes, these were left off, leading to private keys that are less than 32 bytes... The current blockchain.com simply rejects these as invalid and assumes an incorrect password...) The symptoms of this are that your wallet may have correctly worked until about 2015/2016"


Thanks, I'll keep you all posted.
----------------------------------
Edit2: I was able to remember my Main Wallet Password and Second Password for one of the two wallets! Sadly, while I could see all of my old transactions, there was nothing left.

Now to figure out how to brute force the main password for my second wallet...

Hello, everyone.

A few weeks back I realized that I had two old Blockchain.info wallets tied to my email that I must have opened in 2012 or 2012. I honestly doubt there’s anything there but dust, but I’d love to download both wallets and let a password cracker run on them for fun.

I’ve read a few guides on how people were able to use dev tools in their browser to download their blockchain wallet file in the past, but it looks like they changed the website slightly. Does anyone know a way I can download a copy of my password protected wallet to I have access it locally?


Thanks for your help.

I’m coming out of lurking to answer you.

It is not Satoshi because this block was not mined in a way that was consistent with Satoshi. This article is great at explaining why I and many believe we can get relatively close to knowing which blocks were theirs.

Also, this address is listed in a court document with Craig Wright.
http://Https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/gnhrj9/breaking_news_the_address_of_the_bitcoin_from/
As suggested in that thread, either Craig got access to the addresses he claimed were locked or the original minor called his bluff. I’m guessing it was the latter as Craig has a history of lying to convince his followers that he is Satoshi.
