hello every one i need help with old passphrase

[Kuw]

Quoting for reference.

Don't waste your time on the 6 word passphrases. They are not seeds.
Those are only a blockchain.info wallet passphrases, but you need the decrypted private key. Let me know if you find any keys starting with '6P'. If you have them I might be able to help.

Can you please post at least one of those addresses you have access the 35BTCs already? Just one address, nothing more...

the 35btc was already have privatekey file next to the address .

but i found a file that have something maybe you know what they mean .


that file was in Microsoft word  :

HOWTO FUND THE COIN
====================

1. Download list of generated addresses for Series 3 from this link: ( i delete the link )
use this key to download:  ( i delete the key )
2. Read and copy QR code of the back of printed certificate, this is the bitcoin address of your coin
3. Check that address just read is in the full list you downloaded. You can find this reading ‘bitcoin address’ column.
4. Check that ID number of front of the certificate match with ‘ID number’ column of that list too.
4. If steps 3 and 4 are OK the you can send the desired amount of btc to that address to fund the coin using your preferred bitcoin wallet.
5. Check your transaction is confirmed at http://blockchain.info/address/put-your-address-here


HOWTO REDEEM THE COIN
=======================

1. Peel off the security hologram of the coin

2. Read and copy QR code of the printed paper under the hologram, this is the encrypted private key of your coin (begin with ‘6P’).

3. Read and copy the passphrase printed on the back of certificate

Option 1: Using http://bit2factor.org (recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Go to Two-Factor Escrow -> Decrypt private key option
And paste there the encrypted private key (from step 2) and the passphrase (from step 3).
Finally click ‘Decrypt private key’ option and copy the private key (WIF format, begin with ‘5’).

5. Open your preferred (BIP38 compatible, like blockchain.info, bitcoin-qt, electrum) bitcoin wallet and find ‘import private key’ option or similar and paste there your private key from step 4.

6. Check your bitcoin wallet balance to reflect the amount of btc from recently imported coin.


Option 2: Using http://blockchain.info/wallet
----------------------------------------------------------

4. Go to ‘Import/export’ -> ‘Import private key’ option
And paste there the encrypted private key (from step 2) and click ‘import private key’, it will ask you the passphrase, so you will paste it (from step 3).
Finally click ‘import’ option.

5. Check your coin address will show in the wallet addresses list.

6. Check your bitcoin wallet balance to reflect the amount of btc from recently imported coin.

This just convinced me that you have in possession the HDD of the creator of bhCoins.
See below.

Please explain how you got in control of the hard drive, obviously you are not the original creator of the physical coins. He knows how to redeem the bitcoinsfor sure.

The other question is why the creator kept private keys, and do those pr. keys belong to the physical coins.

UPDATE 15/04!!!!: [OPEN] bhCoins Serie 4 DIY physical bitcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=951699.0

UPDATE 10/17: full list of generated address (only for buyers) is here https://mega.co.nz/#!fcsGRRYK

Hi, we’re proud to introduce you the brand new bhCoin 2F Serie 3 (BIP38 compatible or Two Factor coin).

It's a limited edition of 200 coins, and we reserve for ourself the first 20 of them.

We generate the encrypted key (BIP38) and we assemble the coin and send it to you via registered letter mail.

Along with the coin we send you a certificate with the passphrase randomly generated so you can redeem the coin funds on a bitcoin wallet compatible with BIP38, as blockchain.info/wallet is.

You contact us and we send you a custom payment address. After receiving the payment we ship you asap.

The coins are UNFUNDED. We can fund them if buyer send us the 0.1 btc for each coin.


It has been a long time but now we have registered our official forum user, until we post updates here we are considered as “newbie” (but we can give references from our actual clients).

We have freenode IRC user too.


Price will increase as the edition sells out.

We will wait your order!

yes sir i see many file called bhCoins and many txt file and pic with the bhCoins on it ?

[Kuw]

I have no idea if those coins belong to the actual physical coins

I could only find addresses for Series 1 and Series 4: none of those addresses have been redeemed recently.

Looking at the pictures the OP has posted, I'm a bit more convinced that he might have access to the creators hard disk.

We never got clear what's under the "Redeem" QR, but it's starting to make sense if that's a BIP38 encrypted private key.
However, this is what OP said about it:

the QR show only the btc address thats the problem and only with 6 word key to redeem and collect .

That wouldn't explain why he removed the Redeem QR. Unless it was blank already.

if you know who is the owner for that HHD i can help him and take my 30% of what he lost

As you wrote few days ago, he just lost 35BTC...

For the rest, I think it is all you may restore. Files you have are information he sent to buyers of his coins. I would be very surprised if he kept private key AND passphrase on his computer - it would mean that it is difficult to trust him as a seller, because he would be able to get buyer's BTC any moment. So, I think private key were only on the coins and he kept passphrases together with addresses, as a extra info which he had to give to buyer.
Maybe, maybe, you will find something else - some wallets (.dat files) etc, but at least you know exactly who is the owner of the files and whom money you take.

You are anonymous here anyway, please explain how you found this hard-drive? Also it's not very clear who was the previous owner, there should be some clues on that hard drive.

You know, bitcoin is a great invention and for the honest people this is a game changer. Unfortunately many conman are also impressed by the possibilities to trick and scam people without leaving their desks. That's why the world sees the bitcoin and crypto in general as a tool for stealing money. We need more good people to change that impression.

I admire your will the help and return the coins to the real owner (and keeping your share), if this is your real intention, please check this hard drive for more information, but if you find something, please don't expose any personal info here. Send it to someone with a good reputation like LoyceV (but ask him first if it's OK).

We badly need more good people in the crypo field.

[LoyceV]

if you know who is the owner for that HHD i can help him

Chances are you can find information about the owner on the same HDD. I'm still curious how you got the HDD: did you buy it? Did you find it in a trash bin? Was it dumped/stolen?

and take my 30% of what he lost

Lol

This is big collection of files to try.
Copy everything on one USB drive, Download bitcoin-qt, install it on separate PC, wait to synchronize then disconect the internet and import the wallet.dat files from the USB.
You always need to have a backup so don't do anything to the original files.
Probably the wallet.dat files will be protected with a password, but it should be easy to find in all those files there.

You have already learned your lesson, so don't trust anyone to send files to or give access. You can probably follow the instruction of some of the reputed members here. They would not risk their accounts to be ruined.

If you have evidence for the guy who scammed you, maybe it's also a good idea to post accusations.
Main Rule > Never trust newbie accounts!!!

Good luck. You already are a luck man

[PawGo]

And you may use this tool: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/wif
to convert private key to WIF (compressed or not) which you may import into bitcoin wallet.

You can just export the private key without downloading the whole blockchain like using :

dumpprivkey "your bitcoin address"

Then just import the private keys in Electrum.

first wallet.dat

https://ibb.co/FqTYw4p

after that its scanning ?

[PawGo]

Bitcoin Core expects to have the whole blockchain downloaded - so it may confirm the state of wallet. Do not waste your time - extract keys and import to another program - Electrum or other.
Depending of your connection speed and your hard disk (normal or ssd) you may need to wait some time for the whole blockchain to download, maybe day, maybe 2, maybe more.

its still rescanning  for 5 min now  ? no core open or wallet opend ?

[PawGo]

It happens.
Maybe delete bitcoin data folder (downloaded blockchain) and start again, to start from the beginning.
I read about issue with Mac computers, where BitcoinCore start took lot of time because it was calculating some blocks already downloaded - and with slow disk it may take some time.

[TheBeardedBaby]

See if you can locate some passphrases for those wallets.

BTW you can download the blockchain from a torrent file, on different computer. Then you can try all the others .dat files.

[LoyceV]

I admire your will the help and return the coins to the real owner (and keeping your share), if this is your real intention, please check this hard drive for more information, but if you find something, please don't expose any personal info here. Send it to someone with a good reputation like LoyceV (but ask him first if it's OK).

I don't generally want personal information, but if it helps to find back the real owner, the end can justify the means.

we have old stores who sell old and junk PC and laptops for very cheap price like sometime 10$

That's an interesting case from a legal and even philosophical perspective. If you buy hardware that hold private keys, does that make you the owner of the coins? It might also depend on the country you live in.

also porno for kids and illegal staf also .

On the same disk as the private keys?

one day i ask help here for ETH private keys and how to redeem them and some one scam me .

In general, you shouldn't ever trust anyone with private keys! That being said, I've been entrusted with private keys (for my Fork claiming service). There are at most a few people on this forum who I'd trust with private keys. In general: don't do it! As a last resort: it might be worth it.

i still have many privatekey for ETH and some dump for private key of btc .

but did not have time to google it or ask for help

Private keys are the easiest thing to sweep, even a mobile wallet (Coinomi) can do it for many different coins.

We badly need more good people in the crypo field.

I still have mixed feelings about this case: on the one hand it's an exciting treasure hunt, on the other hand there's someone else who's lost his Bitcoins. He may or may not have a backup.
Selling a broken computer with private keys on it is just dumb though.

That looks okay, now wait a bit to download and verify 310 GB.

When dealing with crypto, "wasting time" shouldn't matter. Take your time and don't rush things. If it takes 2 days to download, just wait 2 days, it's the safest option. Unless you're worried about the real owner moving his funds
