Bitcoin Core is for bitcoins... please try to google yourself because some of your questions makes me think you are playing with us or you are extremely lazy and want to have answer and solution for everything without any effort. https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/If you want safe solution for many coins - buy hardware wallet. If you do not care at all - create account on blockchain.com If you are somewhere in the middle and want one wallet for 'everything' - try for example Mycelium Otherwise you will need to install separate application for each coin, like Electrum for bitcoins, ElectronCash for bitcoin cash, etc.

ETH you'll want something like MyEtherWallet or MyCryptoBe careful when trying to use these websites... there are a LOT of scam "clones" designed to steal private keys. So take your time, double (or triple) check URLs and don't rush. As for wallet.dats, Bitcoin Core (and it's derivatives like Bitcoin Knots) are the only wallet applications compatible with "wallet.dat"... So, if you have a BTC "wallet.dat", then your only real wallet software option is Bitcoin Core. Likewise, if you have a "wallet.dat" for an altcoin like litecoin, or dogecoin etc... then you'll need to download the appropriate "Core" wallet for that particular coin. Generally, you don't need to download the full blockchain, you can export the private keys and then import those keys into a lightweight (SPV) wallet like Electrum etc... There are also ways to extract the keys from a "wallet.dat" without needing to use the wallet software (ie. Python scripts like PyWallet etc), but they're arguably more complex to use and can be problematic to use if you're not overly familiar with Python and running scripts from the command line.

If the address begin with "m" then it is a test net wallet and those are only test net bitcoins, but I guess that's not your case. Most likely you are one It's quite exiting even for a side observer like me

Wow, I didn't expect that. That's really a lot of money. If it happens so, I'll give part of it for charity, I already know who's life I can change.

My concern is that the transaction is "grey" and in [ ]'s which generally means that while the transaction is stored in the wallet.dat's history, it doesn't actually exist in the blockchain itself. This could be because the transaction was actually in an "orphaned" block and/or it was invalidated by a "doublespend" etc... in which case, you probably won't have access to those funds. I would suggest that you go into the transaction list tab, right click that 300+BTC transaction and then copy the "TransactionID" and then check that transaction on a block explorer like blockchair.com. If the transaction exists on the BTC chain, and those coins haven't been spent in any transaction after the date shown (25th Oct 2014), then there is a chance you may have 300 BTC. Congrats! If that Transaction does NOT appear on a BTC explorer, then there is a chance that the wallet.dat is actually an altcoin wallet.dat (ie. Litecoin or Dogecoin etc)... or it was an orphan block/doublespend situation.

is that mean im a milliner now ? I had to Google the word: a person who makes or sells women's hats. But seeing the picture explained it My concern is that the transaction is "grey" and in [ ]'s which generally means that while the transaction is stored in the wallet.dat's history, it doesn't actually exist in the blockchain itself. My guess is he hasn't downloaded the blockchain up to 2014 yet. If the transaction exists on the BTC chain, and those coins haven't been spent in any transaction after the date shown (25th Oct 2014), then there is a chance you may have 300 BTC. Congrats! The next question is: is there a password on the wallet.dat?

Hard to tell really... Until you've synced the blocks past the transaction date, it won't properly show as confirmed in the wallet. Like we've said, goto the "Transactions" tab... right click on one of the Transactions... "Copy Transaction ID"... then search for that TransactionID in a blockexplorer like blockchair.com, blockcypher.com, btc.com, blockchain.com If the transaction is found, then chances are they will turn out to be real in your wallet! Then it's just a matter of whether or not any other transactions have occurred since 2013 that have spent those funds.

oh... duh... the addresses were listed there! hahaha
Yeah, likely an altcoin wallet.dat... if you open that wallet.dat with a text editor and do a search for "name" you should find the addresses listed in their "native" format... the first character should hopefully give some indication of what coin it actually is
