REWARD 1 BTC! Electrum wallet help me!

[m1kmrt]

Its not at a specific line just search in notepad (ctrl + f) the word "keystore" without quotes
Or look manually through the file to find if it contains any extra private key in the form

I did as you asked and I see a lot of private keys, labels in the labels section, I tried to save just private keys and import them for recovery, but it only restores those addresses from the seed

nope, what you posted in the screenshot wont help you.
some are private keys but for addresses that are generated by this extended public key.
how many lines you have inside labels object? 159?

you need to find keystore string or other private keys like the ones you posted

[Minase]

those labels are available in the imported xpub also... they hold no balance at all


//edit
the OP replied between messages then deleted it.
No sanction for double post please

but when restoring via xpub and xpriv, I see the same wallet as from the restore seed balance 0 and a small part of my wallets with old transactions, all my wallets start from 1

If you're seeing some of the transactions, then you are likely on the right path here.  It could be that you're only seeing some of the addresses that have transactions because when you restore an Electrum wallet from seed you'll only see the first 25 addresses in the wallet.  To see the other addresses you'll need to increase your gap limit.  That might help.

Open your console and use this code to see 100 addresses.  Change the "100" to whatever number you want to increase the number of addresses visible.

Code:

[wallet.create_new_address(False) for i in range(100)]

Other than that, I think LoyceV is right, and you could have had an extra word or seed extension that you may have forgotten about.

Here's the steps on how to reproduce OP's "issue":

• 1. Create a new wallet or restore an empty wallet (pref. Standard), don't set a password; then close Electrum.
• 2. Go to Electrum's data directory (location) and open 'wallets' folder.
• 3. Open the newly created wallet file as text and under the line "receiving": [ ;
  add these lines: "1JtpgqCf3SSeCeYWEDJjkfYFH7Ruhy4Vp1", and "1FpqQnKQCgDkJFMC94JL8FpRyHTZ3uRVZ1",
  The format should look exactly as the other addresses or the wallet wont be parsed correctly (there's more but I only selected two), then save the changes.
• 4. Open the edited wallet with Electrum and it will show errors, click "Show report contents" on the bug report window and you'll see the error in OP's screenshot. (don't send it as Bug report)
• 5. The wallet will sync just fine and will show the edited-in address' balance.
• 6. Try to send Bitcoins and it'll return with the same error: "Script failed an OP_EQUALVERIFY operation".

Restore the seed phrase and it will not restore the addresses that are edited-in (obviously), it will only restore the keys related to the seed phrase.

I found entries in the form of a wallet address, a private key and an output path like m/0/58, how can I restore my address with a balance with these data? My private key is from address p2pkh: and starts with letter K

[DireWolfM14]

how can I restore my address with a balance with these data? My private key is from address p2pkh: and starts with letter K

If you have a private key then you can create a new wallet and import it through the process.  Open Electrum, then on the top menu bar click "File>New/Restore."  On the window that pops up, name your wallet, then click Next.  On the next page select "Import Bitcoin address or private key."  Enter your private key on the next page, click next and follow the prompts to complete the process.

If you already have a wallet that was generated using this method, you can add another private key with these stips: On the top menu bar, click on "Wallet>Private Keys>Import" then enter your private key in the popup window.

i did that, BUT it's wrong because my output paths don't match, neither does the private key to the address. I have to create a wallet with a withdrawal path suitable for a private wallet, because initially electrum creates it differently, I need m/0/58

A private key which starts with "K" is already at a derivation path. It was reached by deriving to the specified path and then calculating the wallet import format key at that path. You cannot use that key in isolation to derive further child keys.

Only if you have either a seed phrase, or a master private key or extended private key beginning with xprv, can you then start deriving child keys and derive the key at m/0/58.

Look dude, I don't want to call you a liar, but there're some significant contradictions in your story.  Either you totally flubbed your wallet file and your seed phrase (one or the other okay, but both?) or you forgot some extension word (unlikely since you're seeing transactions in the wallet without an extension) or, the most likely answer; you purchased/found/downloaded this file that was purposefully corrupted to make it look like it has some bitcoin in it.

If you have a private key that restores an address other than one you want restored, then you don't have the right private key.  It's that simple.  Going around in circles asking the same question worded differently won't change that fact.  You're not the first person here insisting he's had an obviously butchered file since it's creation.

Yup.
But think of how much of everyone's time the OP has now managed to take up.
Because wait for it, none of you bothered to google the address.
For 1FpqQnKQCgDkJFMC94JL8FpRyHTZ3uRVZ1 a quick google gets you
https://www.coursehero.com/file/110545615/Bitcoin-Etherium-private-keys-with-balance-2020txt/
If you toggle reader mode in firefox you can see that address.

As for the 1JtpgqCf3SSeCeYWEDJjkfYFH7Ruhy4Vp1
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE THIS FORUM: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=405169.0;all

Can we all stop wasting our time with these people.

When people are asking for help.
Step 1 google the addresses given to see how many times they have been passed around.

That's a good point.  I'll make sure to follow this advice in the future.  Offering a generous "reward" should have tipped me off as well.

What's amazing is that people actually pay for these wallets. What are they thinking?  Obviously they know nothing about bitcoin, and yet they think they're going to get rich by hacking some wallet that's available to everyone.  Don't they stop to think that maybe the bitcoin experts would have beaten them to the punch if this were remotely possible?

Why not? You should

or, the most likely answer; you purchased/found/downloaded this file that was purposefully corrupted to make it look like it has some bitcoin in it.

I called it 3 days ago.

Hello, I am ready to reward someone who helps me with an electrum wallet. In general, I found my file on an old laptop with an electrum folder, I have several files and one of them is my wallet.dat 24kb in size, it has a lot of addresses with my balance, but more on that later, I have blockchain_headers files with a size of 46 kilobytes. config 1 kb, daemon and recent servers. My mistake is that on the old laptop everything worked fine by opening wallet dat and displaying my bitcoins, but in the latest version when opening wallet.dat it gives errors when opening File
"electrum\gui\qt\main_window.py", line 507 , in load_wallet
   File "electrum\util.py", line 469, in do_profile
   File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3324, in try_detecting_internal_addresses_corruption
   File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3329, in check_address_for_corruption

and when sending a transaction:
the error Script failed an OP_EQUALVERIFY operation

and I can’t withdraw bitcoins at all, I tried restoring via private keys, but generally gives out other addresses with a balance of 0, I tried to restore using a seed phrase but gives me wallets without a balance and with old ones transactions, that is, the balance is 0, and when I enter wallet dat and with these errors, electrum shows my old normal balance, but I can’t withdraw bitcoins because of these errors, the Internet connection is stable, can I somehow restore my wallet by deciding those line errors (removing those errors with python) ? Will additional files to the wallet blockchain headers help me or others that I have? If someone helps me, I'm ready to reward him!
additional contact with me telegram @m1kmrt and my mail woycemisha@gmail.com you can write me in private messages and here on the forum!

Perhaps you could try uninstalling the latest version of Electrum and install an older version instead? You mentioned the "old laptop"? Do you still have access to it? Or perhaps you can remember the version of Electrum you used on your old laptop?

[DaveF]

@serveria.com Did you read any of the latest replies? the OP bought a fake wallet, there are no coins in there. Never were, never will be.
As with many of these I can't get to my coins posts it's people who thought they could get rich quick because they thought they could get coins out of thin air.

Oh yeah, now I see it: the situation is in fact completely different from what the OP described in his initial post. He claimed he was trying to migrate this wallet from his old laptop. I agree that op is wasting everyone's time by posting clickbait headings and lying regarding the way he acquired the coins.

I have gone through the whole thread and it took a lot of my time. Thanks to you man for catching the lies of the @OP because otherwise many of the forum members would give their precious time to answer the @OP for helping him out in fixing of that wallet. I have seen many similar posts which were basically created by similar people like @OP to waste the previous time of the members and I think we all should at least be more alert next time because if these type of users continue posting such made up stories and we all give our time to such posts then they would take it for granted. I recommend everyone to avoid such posts when you smell something fishy because we won't be able to help people with such mentality. They will continue to lie like that and will made many more different stories to get our attention and in end they will log out from the account and create another account to post something similar by changing the theme of the story.
