Selling my 50 btc wallet dat. file with lost password

[krogothmanhattan]

First off...sorry to hear you are going thru this. It must be every Bitcoin users nightmare.

I did a google search and there are services out there that help people in your position.

https://www.coindesk.com/meet-man-will-hack-long-lost-bitcoin-wallet-money/

http://www.gobitgo.com/articles/1005/How-To-Recover-Your-Bitcoin-Wallet-Password/

I am not sure how legit these places are ..if they are still in business..etc.

Please do due diligence. That's a lot of Bitcoin to lose. Any kind of bitcoin lost is bad period let alone 50BTC.

I am sure there is someone out there than can help you. Again be careful as there are more thieves than friendly people out there. Goodluck

Hello.
In good years bought 50 bitcoins and left them on wallet.
Before a couple of days I remembered where i had a wallet .dat file with address inside txt file (18KYtY7vSnPxDdNtr4pt1Sivkgnzebtp2Z).
Problem is only i can't remember password, tried a lot to remember but can't.
If someone is interested i can sell that file for 0.5 btc or give me the best offer.

Contact me on telegram @joebrower

Thanks.

Really sucks for something like this to happen... especially when we talking about nice stockpile of 50btc.

This is probably the best offer you going to get here:

You send me the .DAT file, I will ATTEMPT to recover the wallet. If I am able to do so then we split the coins. I will send 25 to you and keep 25 for myself.

Assuming your story is legit then this is a way better deal than trying to get 0.5btc for it.

is the password your favourite thing to drink?

[Zarathustra]

As previously offered,
I am willing to try and crack the wallet and send you 50% of the funds once (and if) the password was hacked.
I would although appreciate some btc in escrow (if possible) so that my expenses in cracking the password are covered.

Please let me know if you're interested in my offer, I'll shoot you some questions to help me out jumpstart the process.

Kind Regards,
~Zara

@damirb602, I'll sell you this address: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/3D2oetdNuZUqQHPJmcMDDHYoqkyNVsFk9r for only .01 BTC. 

The address has almost 200,000 coins on it! Great deal for you.

I would attempt to brute force the wallet, or if you had an idea of what the password might be, try iterations if it.  I would split 50/50 if successful. 

[rogerthat55]

You have any other proof, evidence, emailed receipts of purchase, documentation, something to prove it's legit?

OP is probably just trying to get a quick buck. Seeing as how they have been online recently but has restrained from posting any more and that they are choosing Telegram as a medium for communication, I would suspect that there is no .dat file.

And even if there is, like Forts pointed out, there's a contradiction between OP's statement (bought coins) vs. the fact that they were mined.They probably just looked for some old and inactive rich wallets to try and pull a fast one. Don't waste your time. /thread

try moonroof or sunscreen, either that or it's my favourite thing to drink.

25  xbt and bch if unlocked... you'll need to send wallet.dat first though


nope im not putting those funds in escrow first...you;ll need to trust me

[TotallyNotaLiar]

tire gauge?
soft shell?

[guy369]

I can offer 0.00001 BTC upon verification that the address holds 50 BTC

My offer no good? 

[wheelz1200]

There is no way anyone is going to pay anything for an encrypted .dat file.  Just use a service that offers to crack it for a fee of the recovered funds.  If not locked the thread as its not gonna get anywhere.

I don't believe your story is true like most of other people told. But if its true then I can try brute forcing the file , if your password didn't contain much special characters / numbers and was made up of dictionary words and common names etc. I can pay you half the file if the brute force is successful

If you want to have it back, just look for someone who can help you with it, just like forcing to crack the private code with a virus or something(as for example), (I am not saying you'll do it yourself) but if you can contact the developer for the wallet then they can help you with it with your proof of ownership like KYC, since everyone can't just find a hacker to do the job.

Their is no "developer" that can get into your own wallet.dat file this isnt an exchange its his personal wallet which probably isn't true to even begin with

[Karthic1998]

i will provide $1 for the whole account
send me the details of the account

[TheHas]

Tell you what, send the wallet.dat file for free and if I figure out the password, I'll give you 10 per cent.

If you're legit, it involves the same level of risk except you're wearing it instead of the other person, and expecting to be sent cash for nothing. If this is a scam (which it looks like) then you obviously won't do it and instead wait for someone to send you money for nothing.

As a side note - what was the name of your first pet?

[nniecan001]

Wondering if the file is yours? or just stole it from other bitcoiner user who work hard to have that.
Just simple to understand, I have this file and I forgot my password, "who the hell out of this world forgetting that 50 btc password?"
Just make sense folks, don't fool us around.
