Last week we cracked a multibit wallet with 11.8 BTC that had been inaccessible since 2013 and presumed corrupt.
So, it wasn't actually corrupt, just an incorrect password was being used?
Did the user actually recognise the password that was found or had the application applied some random/different password?
There seem to be a lot of users with multibit wallets that claim their passwords don't work... and they're 100% sure the password is correct. Since BTC broke $50k, I've been getting an average of 1 PM a day from someone struggling with old MultiBit wallets... it would be nice to know if they just have the passwords wrong, or if the application did "something dumb" and encrypted the wallet using a different password/key or something.
