Hey guys,

Did anybody have any luck with brute force cracking Multibit wallet?

Rivalin's scripts posted earlier in this chain do not seem to work as there is no command line for Multibit.
I can't export the passkey because it requires password too.

Is there any other way to transfer Multibit wallet to Bitcoin qt so it can be hacked using ruby scrypt for Bitcoin?

Another solution could be a command line utility for Multibit.

Please suggest.

Thanks.

How come everyone who has a problem is not using the normal qt client?  lol

then there is an official tool to help you find it mentioned a few pages back and I think it is off the main website bitcoin.org

here comes the newest issue i need a complete setup for 1 off maybe in multiple locations of the pass like say password could be oasswird or psddeotf or the other side and then the possibility for fat finger lol

I know, but it's your only hope. Next time look at the keyboard and be very careful as you type. You might be able
to paste a password also, like type it in notepad first to confirm the typing and then copy & paste it in. I have not tried
that yet, so not sure it will take a paste. I just found out recently that remote logins often will not let you do that, even
though the asterisks appear. Took me two days to figure-out what the problem was.  lol

I want to share my experience. I also encrypt your my wallet and then could not find the password. All passwords that I have tried to enter did not fit. But today I made it! And this password I have tried many times! When I encrypt the wallet, I did it through TeamViewer. And I suspect that this program was the reason that the wallet did not accept passwords. It has some sort of problem with language switching. Today I again login through TeamViewer - language was English. I switch the language, but it is still English. And I began to enter passwords and wallet accepted password! Perhaps my post will help someone. Excuse me for my english.

Hey guys,

I wanted to share my recent experience for people having a lost Multibit password.  I am very new to this cryptocoin world.  Upon a friend's recommendation I got a Multibit wallet, encrypted it, and started mining.  Of course I made up a different type of password than I normally use for added security, and after 20 days of mining I went to cash out my 1 bitcoin and had forgotten the password.  Didn't write it down or store it anywhere... whoops!  After searching the net and these forums., it seems like the Multibit wallets are the hardest to hack with the scripts found in this thread (great for your security, bad if you forget your own info!).  I'm clueless at programming, and after doing the usual suggested things (going back to where you put the password in, going to relax and hope it comes to you, and trying to brute force it with things you think you might have put/errors you could have made/extra char's/spaces/caps/nearby character errors, etc.) I had pretty much written my coin off.  

I had read about a guy named Dave at www.walletrecoveryservices.com and figured sending him my wallet info was worth a shot, since the worst case scenario would be losing my coin, which I had already essentially managed to do anyway.  After a couple days Dave was able to break into my wallet using the info I thought I knew about the password.  He then took his 20% fee, as we had agreed upon, and sent me the password to recover the remaining balance of my coins.  He could have taken the entirety of the wallet but he was fair and honest in the transaction.  If you're out of options, losing 20% of your wallet is a lot better than losing 100%  I'm really grateful to Dave for getting my coin back so I figured I should let the community know about my experience.  If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Hey, anyone with ideas? I made a wallet with a password 4 months ago. To be sure I always use this procedere: Make a password (two time type in) and then create a few addresses (pw every time). So now I forgot my password. I used it maybe 2 times after creation and I had no problem. It should be around 30 characters (I don't know for sure) but I am pretty sure about the first 20 characters.

How would you manage that problem? (I stored there 0.4btc)

thx (sorry, I can't offer any real bounty for that amount)

Wouldn't lost bitcoin be one of the inherent faults with the bitcoin system? It seems inevitable that a huge percentage of bitcoin will eventually be locked/unusable as people continue to lose their wallets or passwords, etc. What happens when 25% or 50% of bitcoin is "lost"? Of course, maybe by then, we'll have already moved on to a "better" cryptocurrency.

Satoshi said this is no problem, as lost coins just count as microscopic donations to all other account holders.

Why would this be a problem?

There is nothing magical about the number 2,099,999,997,690,000.

If there are only 1,574,999,998,267,500 units of currency (25% loss) or 1,049,999,998,845,000 units of currency (50% loss) remaining, bitcoin will still work just as well.

I wonder how many coins are already lost. Wasn't there a list of knows losses?
