Looking for somebody who knows how to run brute force scripts, I created a wallet 1 year ago, and have since lost the seed and password. I recently re installed Electrum onto my PC and the program loaded into my old sead by default, i hadnt noticed this until after I purchased 0.19 Btc and had them deposited into my wallet. I no longer remember this password and did ot store the seed. If anybody can break in, I would be happy to share 0.09!

remove your wallet file or somebody will come and steal all your bitcoins. if you want someone to brute force the wallet you should hire dave from walletrecoveryservices.com. you then deal with him in private.

So far this thread reads like the Electrum wallet must contain the SEED but it is encrypted. OP, when you open/display the wallet does it pop up a flag that it is watching only? If you don't see that at least you know the wallet SEED is there. Now to break the encryption to get to the SEED. You may have some recollection of your password habits. At least you should have some idea as to your length habits. Most know if they are 10 character or 35 character password folks. I am asking because 0.19 BTC at 750/BTC = just over 140.00 dollars. Just be logical; a split (recovery reward) would be 75ish, which won't buy too much "crunching time" from recovery teams. If you are a short password user you might just get this broken if you have any "hint" at all. Good luck to you.

No there is no flag that appears so the seed must still be there. My password is no longer than 15 characters. And is more than likely either 8 or 10. I have a very large list of possible passwords and or phrases that may be contained within the password. I am 90% sure that these phrases I have will contain the password. If not, and I did make a unique password, it will be no longer than 8 characters (very very unlikely it's unique)

If Dave doesn't respond, you can try recovering the password yourself with btcrecover, however it will be more difficult and involves a bunch of reading to get it set up and running...

The wallet had a rather unusual format, I did some testing with your software and it did not recognize the wallet format. Maybe the OP can get in touch with you, Id rather not share the data I copied here without their consent.

So dave responded, he informed me that Electrum wallets are currently unsupported, and they hope to add support before the end of the month. I spent about 3-4 hours setting up btcrecover, but when i launch it on my pc the command screen immediately closes. I can send links with the original wallet.dat

You have to use it through the command line. You cannot just double click the exe file.
