I am selling my wallet—I’m offering a reward for cracking the password.

[Chris_Farli]

I am selling my own genuine wallet from back then—at a nominal price—and including hints regarding the password I definitely used.

I used to like writing everything in capital letters, using underscores,
and adding my birth year or an Arabic word at the end;
I never wrote down the full passwords so they wouldn't be stored in plain text,
though I don't remember exactly what I put at the end—here are a few combinations found in my notes; perhaps these are the beginnings of passphrases:

Chris_Home_Wallet_
Transfer_from_Chris_Home_Wallet_
Chris_Farli_
HP734_Wallet_Card_

You don't necessarily have to buy the file; you can try a hash-based recovery method.
I tried many times without success; I used the paid program Bitcoin Password Recovery, but it doesn't support the Arabic keyboard layout.
If you're interested, feel free to ask questions in this thread or email me—I'll answer all your questions.

So this safe ?

[Chris_Farli]

So this safe ?

Yes, it is safe; using a graphics card is recommended. I have a laptop with a weak graphics card, and the speed is 800 passwords per second—which is very slow.

Have you tried contacting the only service that has proven to be completely legitimate and has helped many people gain access to their coins? If the wallet is really yours, it costs you nothing to try - you only pay a fee if the job is successfully completed.

I’m planning to write to them, but I have reservations about sharing wallet data: if something goes wrong, an unauthorized person could gain access to it. I haven't found a way to send just the hash—the site requires uploading the actual file, which isn't safe.

The man has a very good reputation and as far as I know he has helped many people over the years. Try to agree on the best (most secure) way, and if he manages to crack your password, the reward will be far greater than selling your wallet to someone.

That’s right; since I can’t handle this on my own, I wrote him a letter. I think he’ll provide specific recommendations.

Dave got in touch and said he’d received my file, but that’s impossible—after all, he’d claimed it couldn’t be hacked. I need to try it myself; anyone who wants to help, come join in.

Dave Bitcoin<walletrecoveryservices@gmail.com>

Sorry, I cannot help you with this for two reasons:

1) I have been sent this same wallet a few years ago, with very different password ideas
2) It is not possible to find a random password of that length with Arabic letters

Regards,
Dave

You shouldn't be sending your wallet around like that man. For a experienced programmer, it's not that hard to build a custom tool that runs on a cloud network and brute-forces the password using Arabic words.

My advice is to pay a developer to build the tool for you, then rent cloud computing power to run the brute-force attack. The whole thing can be done for a few thousand bucks, and it's definitely worth it in my opinion, especially since it's just a single Arabic word and not a full sentence.

I used a paid program called Bitcoin Password Recovery. I don't know how to properly configure it to use a specific word list; it doesn't support Arabic characters—only English ones. It's a shame it lacks multilingual support.

There are many free and open-source tools that support Arabic text. Open-source means anyone can review the code for safety and quality. To be honest, if I had known this was real and not a scam, i would have bought your wallet a long time ago and written a custom tool to crack it. But.. It still seems too good to be true.

But lets try this: make a file for me where you write all known Arabic words you can think of, and i will run a tool for you using the password hash.

If you struggle to find the right words, let ChatGPT help you. Share details about your hobbies, favorite foods, free-time activities, open-minded personality? and favorite discussion topics. The more details you share, the better the results. At the end, ask ChatGPT to generate a 100,000+-word Arabic vocabulary list based on the personal traits and themes you provided, tailored for potential use in a password.

Did you already send the same file a few years ago to the same person? If not, how is it possible to get such an answer? A logical question arises here, is it your wallet or did you buy it somewhere?

That is everything I found in my password notes—or at least everything I can remember. The problem lies in the encryption; I read that if you use two languages, the password might not work.

No, it’s 100% my wallet. I might have handed it over to someone on Reddit at some point, hoping that someone with password-cracking skills would open it for me.

In that case, there are two pieces of bad news - the first is that your wallet is no longer yours alone and that at any moment someone can find the password and steal your coins - the second bad news is that even Dave says your case is mission impossible.

Still, the damn AI is getting so advanced that I hope you'll manage to figure out what the password is at some point. Keep trying, you have countless attempts at your disposal - maybe the password is something very simple that is in front of your eyes every day

That’s true, but I think that wallet was deleted years ago, and I’m the only one who still has it. I think about the password every day; I’ve even dreamed that I managed to open it.

Will try my best!

[Chris_Farli]

The odds are slim as it is; I’ve already tried everything I could think of—even entering the password manually while writing it down on paper. Still, let’s hope for success. It might look like a simple task from the outside, but repeatedly entering the password only to get that same error -14 ("incorrect password") is incredibly draining.

Classic wallet.dat scam

There's no way to check before you pay that cracking the password actually belongs to this wallet.

Dave Bitcoin seen this exact wallet years ago, it's the same file floating around with a new backstory each time

The hints are engineered bait

All the details including the screenshots are very easy to fake. With AI the scams are getting more elaborate
