Recover private keys from a corrupt wallet file

[RestoreMyWallet]

OP, please be careful with newbies trying to help you.

Especially if they claim to be some sort of "wallet recovery" or similair.

There is only one trusted wallet recovery service. And that's Dave's recovery service. You should assume every newbie contacting you is a scammer.
Just because someone has recovery in their name, doesn't mean they actually know what they are doing.

17th Feb 21: Last week we cracked a multibit wallet with 11.8 BTC that had been inaccessible since 2013 and presumed corrupt. It can be done. That is the reason for this newbie post because leveraging the power of cloud computing it was possible to run over 1 billion combos and crack the wallet password in just 36 seconds. So if you want to take a chance for a 20% fee of the wallet value please get in touch. Crypto@restoremywallet.com we will have a website up and running to support this in due course.

Last week we cracked a multibit wallet with 11.8 BTC that had been inaccessible since 2013 and presumed corrupt.

So, it wasn't actually corrupt, just an incorrect password was being used? Did the user actually recognise the password that was found or had the application applied some random/different password?

There seem to be a lot of users with multibit wallets that claim their passwords don't work... and they're 100% sure the password is correct. Since BTC broke $50k, I've been getting an average of 1 PM a day from someone struggling with old MultiBit wallets... it would be nice to know if they just have the passwords wrong, or if the application did "something dumb" and encrypted the wallet using a different password/key or something.
