I already do a decent amount of coding for my job and had talked to a couple of internet security guys over the years about advice on cracking. Never got anything great. I guess I will just have to hope quantum computing delivers in my lifetime.....

I spent tons of time looking into how to crack it, ha. Thats whats depressing. I guess its just hard to accept that its lost and worth literally nothing.

I have a hard drive (and a backup flash drive) with a file I stupidly encrypted years ago that contains, among other things, my bitcoin wallet and login info.
At this point I have pretty much given up on ever cracking it (I originally used 7zip to encrypt the file) and was looking into how to just sell it. I checked Ebay but many forums say expensive things on Ebay is super risky (600 coins in it).
Does anyone have any advice on what to do with my drive or what groups to contact? Security research groups or investment groups? It has already caused me tons of heart ache over the years and have already talked to tech security people and am mostly looking to just get what little value from it it might have.
I am located in the San Francisco area if anyone knows contacts there.
