$350 for anybody who can help me get my bitcoins back
Whoever gives me the correct advice that gets me back in to my coins, will receive $250 in BTC. A further $100 will be split between everybody else who contributes, as a 'thank you ' for their time.
I have my paper wallet's Public Address, Private Key (Encrypted) and Checksum on PDF. I also have the password I used to encrypt my account.
However, every time I try to send money from my wallet (currently with Strongcoin), the message "Your passphrase may be incorrect, please try again" shows up.

Sorry buddy but the one and only thing that can save you here is that mnemonic phrase. Pray you maybe saved it somewhere and hunt is your best hope, unfortunately.If you cannot retrieve your mnemonics or send your funds elsewhere via an installed wallet, you are out of luck.

...which I'm also happy to split between more than 1 member, if I receive the correct advice from more than 1 member.
Can anybody help. I have my paper wallet's Public Address, Private Key (Encrypted), Checksum and password I used to encrypt my account, but every time I try to send money from my wallet (currently with Strongcoin), the message "Your passphrase may be incorrect, please try again" shows up. I also have a mnemonic phrase, but I can't remember whether that phrase was for this Strongcoin wallet or something else. I have tried to enter the mnemonic phrase as the password I used to encrypt my acount (just on the off-chance), and have tried with and without spaces, but that's not working either.
Did you check if the mnemonic is from BitAddress.org? |

When you say you have the "paper wallet's Public Address, Private Key (Encrypted), Checksum and password I used to encrypt my account" do you mean you have all this information written down? Or just that you think you know what the password is? BIP38 encrypted Paper Wallets can be tricky... And I remember there was a bug ( https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/issues/56) where depending on what browser you used, you could only decrypt in that same specific browser!  Do you remember how you created the paperwallet in the first place? |

I'm not familiar with Strongcoin wallet hosting. But, there should be a recovery option for your mnemonic phrase separate to your password. Blockchain.info has one through selecting "Can't login" and has three options; forgot email, forgot password, enter mnemonic phrase.
If not you have probably misspell your password if you are 100% sure that it's close to that and if that's the case it might be somewhat easy to actually crack it if there's only a few typos such as capital letters etc.

How is it encrypted, how did you create it, and what did you use to try to decrypt it? Does the encrypted private key use BIP38 compression (AKA does it start with 6PR)? From your description, it's unclear to me what exactly you have there. |

You can decrypt your private key @ https://strongcoin.com. Just click on your Account ->Decode private key. Then enter your password and you get your decrypted private key. Afterwards you can import it into another wallet to spend your funds (e.g. electrum: https://electrum.org/ ). But make sure to only work with your decrypted private key in a safe environment. If your not sure about your pc, rather use a linux live system to decrypt and import the private key. |

Ahhhh.... Right. I think I get it now... You have the paper backup from strong coin, correct? Something like this:  If that's the case, then the ONLY way to decrypt this is by using Strongcoin's service... If it says the password is incorrect, then you have the password wrong... Perhaps you typed it incorrectly when you first created the wallet? |

well, than would be not difficult to recover it. even if you have missed one or two letters of your password, you can brute force your wallet |

Just like emails, customers support or tech support in cases like this should answer or at least gives assistance. Try to contact them and state your problem to them. I believe they will attend to your needs with gladness.. |

I have had cases like this where I type back in the string, and think I have it right, but a character was mistyped or written down wrong originally. However, suppose that you tested each position of the key with all valid characters. for base 58 that is only 58*number of characters in the key. No big deal, right? |
