those labels are available in the imported xpub also... they hold no balance at all


//edit
the OP replied between messages then deleted it.
No sanction for double post please 

nope, what you posted in the screenshot wont help you.
some are private keys but for addresses that are generated by this extended public key.
how many lines you have inside labels object? 159?

you need to find keystore string or other private keys like the ones you posted

@bestie1549 already followed the clock directions for words some months ago..even tried the permutations of the words found... still nothing

but if you follow the clock hours and put the words found along clock lines you will have an interesting phrase

8 - time
9 - proof
10 - receive
11 - real
12 - liberty (liberty from statue of liberty  )

Its not at a specific line just search in notepad (ctrl + f) the word "keystore" without quotes
Or look manually through the file to find if it contains any extra private key in the form

Not at all, just dust or some people sending small amounts.
Have looked at the past addresses and no such hint was given

Not sure if electrum ever allowed this kind of mix (HD and privkey) in the same wallet but if that did happen it was a very long time ago.
if thats the case which i highly doubt, just open the wallet with errors (in notepad) and search for this "keystore"
you will find your private keys there, if you cant find that string you can mark it as 120% fake wallet

we dont need to see all addresses, you sorted them based on TX count and the highest TX count is up, but that's not relevant. it could contain even 100.000 BTC


what i'm trying to say here it's that this wallet you are trying to recover is forged 100%
no address with balance was found based on the public key (searched for more than 50.000, impossible for normal user to generate that)
the addresses displayed in electrum are in fact old addresses created with Bitcoin Core long before electrum was available (this fact alone is sufficient for me to mark it as FAKE).

But believe me.. no one can help you recover it because it's not a genuine wallet that's the big problem here.

i really dont think you have any funds in that wallet.
the errors you are having with wallet_1.dat is because the wallet itself was modified by somebody and included those old addresses with funds (only addresses not the private keys).
also from your screenshots you have a balance of ~ 0.1 BTC in that modified wallet and you are offering 1BTC for 0.1 ?? something is not adding up.

what i'm saying it's that it is impossible for this to be an authentic electrum wallet because in your screenshot you have addresses  "derived from the extended public key" from 2010.
In that year electrum with it's extended pubkeys was not released and bitcoin core didnt have this functionality.

somebody correct me if im wrong

@LoyceV i just thought that you misread his message, thats all  
@m1kmrt it doesnt really matter if you are a newbie or veteran here, but based on everyone experience lot's of new people come here to ask for help for fake wallets (which they bought) .

but whats really strange is that you posted a screenshot with this address in your wallet 1FpqQnKQCgDkJFMC94JL8FpRyHTZ3uRVZ1 but is not derived from that xpub (tried over 50 derivation paths with like 1000 addresses)
Also that address has a long long history (back in july 2011) and from what i saw electrum was released in november 2011

//edit
also your second address ( 1JtpgqCf3SSeCeYWEDJjkfYFH7Ruhy4Vp1 ) dates back to december of 2010, really weird

Did you transfer your funds from bitcoin core to electrum?

you said that the last time you used the wallet was maybe in 2019
but you have outgoing transactions in 2020 / 2021 and 2022
and indeed this wallet is empty.
are you sure this is the correct wallet and that you weren't hacked during this time?

//EDIT
DO NOT EDIT THE WALLET NO MATTER WHAT!!!
do you still have the original one on the old laptop?

@LoyceV he said that he didn't buy the wallet

thats weird indeed
something is wrong with your electrum wallet for sure.
can you share an address with a balance?
if you right click on your wallet (electrum one) and select open with "Notepad" do you see that address there

also from where do you have wallet.dat? i have read the full topic but didnt understood what that file has to do with your electrum wallet file which doesnt contain the extension .dat
did you name your wallet "wallet.dat" when you have created it in electrum?

if the wallet is not password protected just open it with notepad
or use this command to display the xprv in console
getmasterprivate()

WARNING!! do not share your xprv with nobody

you can also try to import the xprv key directly
just copy the xprv key
in electrum chose File -> New / Restore
Select standard wallet
After that select "Use a master key"
Paste your xprv key in there and thats all
it should work without any problem

first of all note down the address(es) with balance
then you can go to this website https://iancoleman.io/bip39/  and save the page locally (after that disconnect internet access)
open your original electrum wallet file with notepad and copy the xpub from keystore.
Open the saved page on your computer and enter your xpub value in the BIP32 Root Key field.
After that click on BIP32 tab and see if your address is in the list.
From here you can generate more addresses on the same derivation path or change the derivation path until you find the address you are looking for.
After you find the correct settings you can replace the xpub value in the BIP32 Root Key field with the xprv key from electrum wallet file and it will generate the coresponding private keys which you can import in your preferred wallet (bitcoin core / electrum)

I think the mnemonic count is 13 (12 words + passphrase)
I came to this conclusion because the flag has 13 stripes and also 44 stars (BIP 44).

what the author said was that he created a standard/deterministic  wallet with 256 addresses, exported private keys and padded them with 0 to fit them in the desired range
after that he imported the private keys, and funded the addresses.

quite right as any of other methods... i'm trying a new approach now but it will for sure fail or for the fun of things maybe not.
i'm trying random vs random but on smaller scale (like 16^9), chance 1 in 200 for each run on my current setup.
in testing i have got better results starting with sha256 hashes of random "strings" instead of simple RNG or sequential but still didnt found anything.
Good luck everyone...it's all about luck... as for now SHA family is safe

just a reminder to everyone that @satoshi is not the creator of this puzzle   (from my point of view)
he was aware of the security of this ecosystem. bitcoin had a few critical bugs but oh well, that's why community support is required.
don't forget that in the early days of bitcoin you could've bought 100.000 BTC for something like 400$  

yes, the program can be modified to accept 1 billion keys and the chances do increase by the number of keys but also the speed drops proportionally with the number of keys.

it's a tradeoff speed or keys
