Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Forged or empty WIFs (paper wallets) - do not waste your time

Quote from: casinotester0001 on August 30, 2022, 08:28:34 PM 6 months ago discovered the chapter "lost/damaged wallets/passwords/keys" in the Bitcoin world. Since then looking for stories, wallets, transactions that are connected with such addresses. So found also this address. But so far no clues whether it's a recovered wallet. I must say there are so many fantastic stories (but also lot of fake wallets, damaged keys). I hope that people who lost their keys can be able to get their coins one day.

Many times they do not. The OP seems to be digging into and poking around old addresses for some reason. I think everyone who gets into BTC does that at some point in time. 6 months ago discovered the chapter "lost/damaged wallets/passwords/keys" in the Bitcoin world. Since then looking for stories, wallets, transactions that are connected with such addresses. So found also this address. But so far no clues whether it's a recovered wallet. I must say there are so many fantastic stories (but also lot of fake wallets, damaged keys). I hope that people who lost their keys can be able to get their coins one day. One of the best stories is a guy who created lots of addresses, printed the screen output for each wallet on paper and stored them years ago. Then transferred over a long period BTC from exchanges to these addresses (The sum is huge). But he thought that a message plus the signature of this message can be used as private key and all of his prints on paper show exactly this. Instead of printing the WIFs, he made a cold wallet storage on paper of the signatures as he never saw a WIF private key before and thought that these are used to create signatures with the Bitcoin GUI. The good part of the story is: one day he will be able to calculate the private keys as each print shows several windows where also the txt window is visible with parts of the WIF. What I want to say: 'Your Keys, Your Coins' but understand exactly what private keys are, how they work and test it with small amounts (to an address and from that address to a new address) before you do it with large ones. Maybe this 5000 BTC account was such a case, the owner was able to 'reconstruct' or 'calculate' his lost/destroyed private key. @casinotester @PawGo Can you post some of these prints? Want to check them.

He will get 10% as agreed. The owner (a former miner) doesn't even need these coins. He splitted a large account (147PsLmcSFhEUEjAerYY6VEH6Z6kCrDwyK) and transferred back in 2017 to three addresses 500 BTC each. Two of them he has access to: 1Ek93YBu22kMJ43GhbTy13dYnckcbZE4xu 1HtQwoguFkvMynK1NyDhh1weHjrMyDAKU But for the address 1PfNh5fRcE9JKDmicD2Rh3pexGwce1LqyU he lost a part of the private key as you can see on the diary photo. And he agreed to make a challenge, where people can participate to find the WIF.

Maybe VirusTotal isn't able to analize files good enough? Read the FAQ: Does the program require an internet connection? No, the program is looking for the key offline. Most participants run it on offline machines or rent GPUs.

Not that useless We have something that could kickstart the thread too: https://github.com/phrutis/BrainWords Search passphrases on the fastest program in the world GPU RTX 3090: 180 Mkey/s GPU RTX 3080: 150 Mkey/s
