Wallet suddenly empty

[achow101]

You data directory is /Users/test/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin. This is where everything should be. Put a backup of your wallet.dat in that folder.

If your wallet is encrypted, the one that Bitcoin Core is using is not encrypted.

Hello Knightdk,

After restarting Bitcoin Core (when the Chain was fully in this morning) there was only one file in that directory "Bitcoin", called "wallet.dat"
I have no clue where all other files are that were made, no "log file", no "peers", no file nothing.


With that newly created "wallet.dat" file, the wallet of coarse showed 0,0000000 btc.

I replaced that file with the old file "wallet.dat" and the wallet still shows 0.00000000 btc.

I am lost.

That is very perplexing indeed. Would you be willing to allow me to remote desktop into your computer to figure this out?

Did you happen to download an infected copy of bitcoin-core? Specifically, check the PGP key of the downloaded file?
 I have not come across one yet but it is certainly possible that some no good fraudster is using a modified bitcoin-core executable and stealing people's money.

Hello Maskali,

I downloaded from www.bitcoin.org, I don't think there is infected wallets available there.

What do you mean by "check the PGP key of the downloaded file"?
I am not very deep in this matter.

The Coins I bought are not transferred to another wallet, that was checked by the selling company.
So it doesn't look like fraud, more like tech prob's, more specific, wrong install path, messing up new install etc.
Total lack of knowledge.

Now no clue on how to recover from all this.

It is important to verify the integrity of Bitcoin Core. Even if you download it from bitcoin.org, it may have been modified in transit or even on your local network by malicious attacks and malware.

You should ensure that the release that you are about to install is signed by the Bitcoin Foundation.

Now that you have proceeded from this step, I suggest you enlist the help of senior members of this forum and let them have a look at the log files or access your program.

Hello Masakali,



Come back to it later.

Thats a very borderline scenario. Its good practise to always check signatures and hashes, but doing so now is not helping the cause. If you asssume a system is compromised you shouldnt trust it anyway.

You would be suprised how many high ranked members have no idea what they are talking about. If knightdk is at it OP is in good hands though. Same goes for advice from cr1776.

Update: 

Thanks to, and with the help of www.bitonic.nl , I got all my Bitcoins back!
I uploaded the wallet.dat file through a secured upload-link to them and they managed to transfer the wallet content to another type wallet.

May I thank everybody here for their support also?

Even though I still don't know the reason for the troubles

This is quote surprise to read the thread that your wallet btc got empty suddenly without you doing anything. There would certainly be some cause of error or deletion due to which it went empty. Else you would have seen a trail in case if transfer would have taken place from one to another wallet.

I do believe this whole thread was a troll to try to get noobs to send their wallet.dat file to this place. Droll.
