Now i'm trying to sinc another wallet with an 0.9.0 version that i found on my old machine.

Hi folks! I have a Old corrupt wallet.dat from a client. I tried some things to recover those 33.54 BTC, since July 16. This is the wallet:

https://blockchain.info/address/1KYYVUwWSMrNkje41jzvubSRsjABu3EUt6

Next, a short summary of the history of this wallet:

*) This wallet comes from a old version of bitcoin-qt (2011), my client said "0.3.24 Beta version", but that is not sure. He remember, he could mining with that client of bitcoin-qt. In fact, he did a "copy & paste" of the wallet.dat when the client was mining and updating. Then, he put that file in a USB drive, and stored for years. When he tried to recover the wallet.dat with a new client of bitcoin-qt, bit he never had success.

*) He said, "the wallet is not encrypted with a password".

*) The size of the wallet.dat file is 112kb

What i tried, with no success :

1) I downloaded the bitcoin-qt client 0.3.24beta, and i tried to open the client with the wallet.dat loadded. i had this messagge:



2) I downloaded the new version of bitcoin-qt client 0.12.1 (i did in July 16), and i tried to open with the same method above.

3) I tried commands from the bitcoin-qt client 0.12.1, like "salvagewallet" and "upgradewallet".

4) I tried bitcointools.

5) Then i started to open the wallet with a HEX editor and looking for a pattern like "KeyA", "key!" or any other kind.

6) Also i tried this script: https://gist.github.com/msm595/7595164. I got 0 privkey.

7)I modified the script above, changing the line 17, with other kinds of REGEX patterns. I tried:

What i need:

*)Any Kind of help, I don't rule out that I could have tried badly some previously mentioned method.

*)Don't Waste your time, requesting the wallet.dat file. I'll not pass it on.

*)You can pass me, open source scripts writed for you, with the following steps to make it work.

*)I am a Python Developer, so i'll prefer scripts writed in that lenguage.

If your recover method, helps me to recover the wallet.dat i'll pay you a reward (We can negociate it)

Hello,

I have recovered some password hashes from old btc wallets and need help recovering them. I don't know the passwords. I only have the hashes. Please let me know if you can help me

Hi all,
just logged into my ledger to see a zero balance. I am not great at reading the blockchain transactions, could someone help?

I have 3 transactions I don't recognise.

First this one with 0.249 btc being transfered to me - https://blockstream.info/tx/a79f7ad72da35ea61731852efe39d3ace74dc7e92323a861581f31f01ddf1578
Second with me transfering 0.01 btc to another address - https://blockstream.info/tx/19af75549cecada158a77614c813361371adbb13e731a9c3ab3dc6ea0ee42fab
Third with me transferring 0.4499 btc to another address - https://blockstream.info/tx/a7cab7007fbee0e06d28e9635d442629ed4f0ec08af00453d56b305d8956387c

does this look like its been stolen? the third one seems to get split into many different addresses? I'm not sure if I'm reading it right. it's either this or I did the transaction and forgot where I sent it (unlikely). It confuses me why if this were being stolen, they would transfer 0.249 btc to me before stealing the balance

thanks for any help

I was already doing that, but with the non-empty wallet. It just finished. And what do you know, it worked.

No idea why this happened. I guess I need to learn more about what rescan does.

I compared a copy of the wallet.dat file from before the rescan with the one after the rescan, and they are different. So I'm storing a fresh copy of the file in my backup.

Case closed. Thanks for helping.

Yesterday June 22th I realized that 0,35 BTC had been sent from my Bitpay account to an unknown address !

What should I do ?  Bitpay guys say that the transactions has completed and it is irreversible !

Is there a way to find who is the one who stole this money ?

Please help !

I sent my USDT asset from binance to a BTC exchange address belonges to my friend, now he has no seed wallet to retrieve my asset, please guide me if it's possible  to get it back.
I'm looking forward for your favor.
Best regards.

I'm having trouble with my wallet.dat
I am looking for a wallet.dat recovery program
 "recovery.exe wallet.dat >newwallet.dat"
Looks like this
Unfortunately I did not save that program
Can anybody send me or suggestion about that program

Hi guys

I live in Moscow, over 40 years old. Sick and tired of political situation and want to leave Russia.
Now thinking of moving to Poland. I am not a coder, used to work in brand manager position, not sure I manna go on with it. Maybe I can run a small business like coffee shop or something. Been to Krakow and Warszawa and I liked them, more Krakow. Very european and calm. I and I like the idea to learn Polish because it’s not very far from Russian.

4.   Is it safe in Poland for cryptopeople?
Dziękuję!

Here is google translate of my request from English to polish
Cześć chłopaki Mieszkam w Moskwie, mam ponad 40 lat. Chory i zmęczony sytuacją polityczną i chce opuścić Rosję. Teraz myślę o przeprowadzce do Polski. Nie jestem programistą, pracowałam na stanowisku managera marki, nie jestem pewna, czy mogę to kontynuować. Może mogę prowadzić małą firmę, taką jak kawiarnia lub coś takiego. Byłem w Krakowie i Warszawie i podobały mi się, bardziej Kraków. Bardzo europejski i spokojny. Podoba mi się pomysł, aby uczyć się polskiego, ponieważ nie jest bardzo daleko od rosyjskiego.
1. Co jest najbardziej przyjaznym kryptowalutom w Polsce?
2. Jakie jest najnowocześniejsze miasto w Polsce (takie jak kreatywne przestrzenie, anglojęzyczna publiczność, joga, bezczelny itd.)?
3. Czy można otworzyć rachunek w banku dla cudzoziemca w Polsce, uzyskać kartę, sprzedać krypto i przelać środki na kartę w sposób legalny. A potem po prostu cpenduj PLN w zwykły sposób.
4. Czy w Polsce jest bezpieczny dla osób kryptograficznych?

Hello everyone,
I live in Netherlands and actively buy and sell bitcoins.
I would like to start trading in the Polish market therefore I am planning to visit Poland and open a bank account and get a Polish SIM card.
Therefore I booked an airbnb and visiting there this Sunday, and doing the banking etc. on Monday.

I found this site bitbay.net and internetowykantor.pl
And I am planning to open a bank account in Millennium bank.

I will regularly need to send and receive SEPA transfers to Netherlands, and maybe sometimes from Turkey.
To exchange from PLN to EUR, I will use the internetowykantor.
And I would like to do everything legally, register, verify my ID etc. if necessary.

I wanted to ask your suggestions with some things:

- Is there anything specific that I should be careful?
- Is millennium bank OK?
- Should I expect any problems with anything?
- Would you suggest any other local site to buy / sell BTC in Poland over my choice?
- Would you suggest any other local site to exchange currencies over my choice?
- Would you suggest any other bank over my choice?

About the road trip, from my city, it's not so far, just 8 hours of drive and I have winter tyres.
Is there so much snow? Should I take snow chains with me or would winter tyres be enough?

Thanks alot for your help, and sorry for writing in English.
I do not speak Polish so I hope some of you can give me some nice tips.

Have a great weekend!

And what is relevant to bitcoin development here? Nothing! The whole thread belongs to the off-topic subforum, IMO.

Omyłkowo wysłałem BTC na adres BSV (Handcash). Konto BSV jest moje i mam o niego seedy.

Jeżeli ktoś zna sposób jak odzyskać dostęp do BTC to chętnie zapłacę za taką usługę.

Yes, I use blockchain. I requested an ID from this link, but the link does not come to the mail, and the message from support has not been answered for 5 days.

Hi, there, i have wallet seed from 2014
One of the words are "interruptions"
Electrum wallet do not have this word now.
Where i could import my seed?
There are 19 or 20 words in my seed.
First word is "save" so im not sure it is included or not, thats why im sayig it could be 20 or 19 words.
Thank you for the help in advance

Hello,

so i have decided to do it this way:

I diced six words from the BIP-39 word list with this method:
https://github.com/taelfrinn/Bip39-diceware

I have read that six words are largely sufficient for passphrase security here and that
it would take two milleniums to brute-force it even with the most sophisticated attack:
https://coldbit.com/can-bip-39-passphrase-be-cracked/

24-word-mnemonic and passphrase will be engraved in metal and stored at two separate secure locations.

Could you please give me your short thoughts if this is secure
and if the statements about cracking times on the Coldbit website are accurate?

Thank You!

I have 2 x Bitcoin wallets. A coinbase wallet for receiving mining revenue (short-term storage), and a Trezor hardware wallet which I use for long-term storage. I access the Coinbase wallet on my iPhone.

Today I tried to do my weekly transfer from the Coinbase wallet to my hardware wallet however I failed the fingerprint scan 3 times in a row (due to a scratch on my thumb) which has locked me out of the Coinbase wallet on my iPhone. The app said I would need to close it, log out and back in to my device before I can try again. I followed these instructions, however when I opened the Coinbase app it said I needed to recover my wallet. Unfortunately I do not have the recovery phrase written down for the Coinbase wallet, only for the hardware wallet. Yes, I'm an idiot.

There are no backups on iCloud for the Coinbase wallet.

Is there a way to recover this (from the iPhone point of view) or is the wallet lost forever?

Perhaps some sort of recovery software that may be able to access the required data on the iPhone?

The only information I have is the wallet address, and a transaction history from both the mining pool I use and my hardware wallet.

Hi there,

I've got my old computer back from storage (2011-12) and have some older wallet.dat files on there (I've experimented with a lot of coins, but mined bitcoin as well back then).

I need some good and up to date advice or guides on how to access these wallets.
I've tried downloading bitcoin core 19.1 but the wallet files seem to "go past date" or something. I needed to de-activate pruning. (I did so, but then it downloads the while tsunami of data again at 1990s speeds:( )

If I download the whole blockchain again on bitcoin core, then shut it down and replace the wallet.dat it generated with my wallet from 2011, will it work?
Or are these older pre 2012 wallets incompatible?
If so... is there a way to get into these wallets (I have the passwords and so on)

hi last day i went to our old house basement i find my old pc from 4 years ago i totally forgot those stuff i saved on it when i fix it up a bit and login i find out about my old wallet  from Electrum after i check it out i see i have around 8K$ worth of btc in that wallet i make new wallet to blockchain and when i try to transfer those old btc i face problem iset password befor about that day when i open this wallet but sadly i cant rememmber that and when i search internet they say with seed i can recover but i cant find that in my desktop and i dont know where i put that file after more search i find a script name decrypt_electrum_seed but its not work
so if any one in here can kindly helping me to get my btc back i will give him good reward for show him how thankful im about the help


when i open it in my new pc with notepad++ they looklike this :

They (blockchain.info) updated to HD wallets in around 2016 and the 12 word seeds from those HD wallets allow full recovery.
