Hello and welcome to the forum.
Normally it takes a couple of seconds up to a mintue for the transfer. I don't know in your case why is so big delay. Try to log out of Coinbase Pro and log in back again. Probably becase of the insane bitcoin bull run some of the services could be overloaded. Check the status here :  https://status.coinbase.com/
It says Overloaded as I expected...

That's a good point, I actually never created unencrypted wallet, and it should be a common sense te encrypt and protect your funds with a password.
So my previouse suggestion is not an option here if the encryption of the wallet was introduced in 2017 no point to search for it.

~ represents the home directory in Linux I guess it's the same in Mac too.
The location of the file should be in the same place where you are trying to execute it.
You should navigate to where the file is located and then execute the command.


Use ls to list what you have in the directory.

Focus on installing the cli wallet.
Using a virtual machine gives you the conformity to start all over again very quickly if something goes wrong.
Make a backup of the clean installation.

Post here your steps, there are enough people around who would like to help in the process.

Just a note, Windows 10 comes with0 Ubuntu too, only the console versjon but it will be enough for you.

Good luck

^ OK, I will add you to the list tomorrow.
I wasn't very active the past few months but now I'm back in full power so being a source will be a good think. I do have some sources on a speed dial but I'm tired bothering others...
I've been in the top 25 merit receivers for quite some time and even during those few months I was away I didn't drop down from my position, so I can say I know how to earn/spread merit. I've sent over 1000 already.
I want to resurect my local section too.
Stay safe ppl.

Let me give you another idea. Maybe you will find some unknown files with no name or some gibberish for name which can also be a wallet files.
What you need to do is to sort out all the files and open each on of them to check their source code.
It's simple, you drag the file directly in Notepad and if the source of the file begins with those charachters >

then you might be lucky. All the Electrum wallet files start with QklFMQN (I tested this on a differnt wallet files).
This will be your only clue to find out if you still have the wallet file or not.

Check all the .txt files and pictures for the seed. It's a 12 word seed.

Good luck in recovering those coins.

The seed is in human-readable format and all the addresses and private keys are generated from it. If you have the seed - those 12 words written, then you have what is needed to access the wallet and all those addresses with your coins.
Try to remember where did you save it. Then you don't need to look for wallet files on the old hard drive.

What LoyceV said is the way.. here it is with pictures :

То те вече предприеха мерки срещу повечето анонимни валути. Само въпрос на време е нещата да се вкарат в "релси" въпреки, че хората винаги намират начин да заобиколят регулациите. Въпроса е, че вече всички ще трябва да минат през KYC ако искат да търгуват на някой ексчейндж. Повечето вече искат. Все пак няма как да контролират кой колко адреса има и на кого праща койни. Не е много ясно бъдещето. Предполагам това е последния алт сезон в който всеки спокойно може да трейдва, след 2-3 години нещата ще са много по-различни.

whoteff - благодаря ти , ама нямам нужда от мерит. Няма на къде повече да се расте.. не съм много редовен последните месеци но не съм мръднал от 25 позиция на top merit receivers.. скоро може да отмина дори Сатоши,което ми е малко кофти ама... сМерит също имам за сега, не се оплаквам. Ще ми се да възродим нашата си секция тука.

What I have witness during such procedures on a windows computers is that the file names are often corrupted but the files are fine, so looking for something like *wal* could also be a good chance to find something like, wal~ or _wal or ~wal_ I've seen a lot of variations.
Some examples to try.
*wal*
*let*

I'm not that of an expert but you have to open the backup file with text editor and check the initial symbols, they are the salted info you can use to find out what type of encryption was used on the file.
I guess the file starts with U2FsdGVkX1 and it is openssl type. I saw some YouTube videos about bitcoin wallets exacting the private keys some time ago and they were using opnessl for that. John has the openssl2john.py and voila.

I think I'm wrong here. There is no password hash stored in the file. SOrry for missleading you...

EDIT and UPDATE: btcrecover can do that.. I'll write a guide how to do it.

What software you are using to recover the files from that hdd? Some free recovery software let you see only documents, pictures and videos. Those won't help you in that quest.
The first thing is to find something reliable to recover the data with. I've been using EaseUS alot before with great results, it costs a bit but if you have a chance to recover the lost coins it should be quite good deal.
As LoyceV said, better focus on finding the seed, think about where you could have store it.

People back in the day were ignoring the security warnings and were saving seed in .txt files or picutres so try to remember, you have a higher chance to find it I think than the file on a hdd.

Като пада се купува ама... и аз така продадох на 16к... ама страховете от 2017 бяха бая големи..
Да вземем да съживим тая секция. От 1 година съм кандидатствал са мерит соурс и ако стане ще се радвам да развием малко повече локалната група..

До тука виждам 5има що-годе активни, има ли пасивни дето само четат? Да си вдигнат ръката

I might need to compare the current Alexa rating with some previous years so here are some screenshot from Wayback Machine





And the top one I have found so far is >



The source of the info is > https://web.archive.org/web/20180131200715/https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcointalk.org

When bitcoin kickass the forum becomes popular again and typically is flooded with spammers and scammers looking for a quick buck.
Let's look at some ratings, just for fun.
Since December 24, we have moved from position 14505 to the current 11031


Top 3 countries visiting the website were >
US, India, and Japan.. Satoshi I know you are reading this.. thank you for the bitcoin


Top Keywords...
@nutildah you are quite a famous man...


More interesting stats you can find on the source link below >

Looking at the crypto markted and the alt season I thoght that there will be bigger interest for the forum and more new members will join, most of them will be for bounties and spam but somewhere in between there will be a good, valuable ones too. Looking back at 2017 I think we are seeing even greater times now so for sure more people will join for good or for bad (I hate scammers).

I thought that after the news that came about the FinCEN announcements regarding more and more crypto regulations and the actions taken by the exchanges to follow those regulation there will be a bit of negative influence over the price of bitcoin and FUD because nobody wants to have crypto regulated and under government's control.

Since you mentioned bounty reports I remember what happened a few months ago. I reported an empty or "reserved" post which I found on the patrol page and when it was handled was marked as bad, later found out that the guy actually changed his post into an actual report. I think I have like 3-4 bad reports just because of that.

Looks like theymos thinks that the current merit source situation is fine. No new sources were added since I open my application exactly 1 year ago. Don't see any upcoming changes either. I wasn't that active the past couple of months but now I'm back and hoping to get an answer to the merit source question soon.

It's been a while since I updated the thread. So here is un update
