So, I've been offline for a couple of days... and come back to whatever this thread has devolved into... but if I'm reading this correctly:

WOW777 accidentally posted from their alt account "TITANxp"... offering to give several users, including myself 1BTC... and then deleted the message... and then tried to make out that they had been scammed for 2BTC. Roll Eyes

Am I correct so far? Huh

Looking at TITANxp's post history, they appear to be trying to sell wallet files for $10...

This possibly rates as the most bizarre, convoluted "bogus wallet" selling con that I've seen. Thanks for the entertainment!

math09183, HCP, iasenko, specify your addresses for 1 BTC transfer. Thank you all, the topic closes.

Now this is new.. are you the OP with the new account?

And the quoted post by TITANxp was removed?

I don't really get what you mean, didn't you say that you imported the private key in Electrum? The link for the video you shared is wrong.

Not really; the video was working when he posted it; I saw it and it was an Electrum wallet, with the address that had the 150+BTC and a lot of text in Russian.

What I don't get is that he first said that he had the address and had swept it, and then he goes on to say that it's a scam and he lost money???

I'd ask for a signed message if he is really in control of the address, but this last turn on this thread is being really mind-blowing

A simple example of how to fine-tune everything, based on the message above, I see with the naked eye where the fake is where the truth is, there are a lot of things that do not match in this topic, look at both, the first reason is the public key that is freely available.

As you see in the video, everything is not very clear when I fell for this after losing 2 bitcoins.

Let’s do it again, the same thing, just press the hide button so that we see an empty balance on the wallet.

I changed the password and the file is useless for you, even if you get access to it.

You do realise that changing the password for the wallet.dat on your local computer does absolutely NOTHING to other copies of that wallet.dat right? Huh

I especially like the way you have the notepad reminding yourself to send 1 BTC to iasenko and math09183 Roll Eyes

... I also like the way you have the "new password" shown in your video Roll Eyes

As Dave pointed out, there is nothing stopping you from using "dumpprivkey" or "dumpwallet" or signing a message from "1GRth6rP4uaPXdw2T6HcGmi7f1RzW4xV94" while Bitcoin Core is resyncing. There is no need to "wait another month" Roll Eyes

Except for the fact that you can't sign a message from "1GRth6rP4uaPXdw2T6HcGmi7f1RzW4xV94" can you? Huh

I think what happen is that the guy got access to his wallet, and changed the password. But now he is reindexing the whole blockchain and it will take a month (slow connection/computer) until he can move the funds.
This is what I understand from his messages.

He is, as stated above, a scammer.

Re-indexing has nothing to do with your ability to
1) Move coins. Since once you have a password you can export the private key and import it into something like electrum.
2) Sign a message.

-Dave

You are added to ignore, there are many spammers like you.

Just did a test. Started a reindex, still managed to export the private key and import it into electrum in under a minute.

Then I did it on an old slow system with the blocks on an external drive, much slower to even start the re-index and I got bored of waiting so I killed the process, renamed the blocks / chainstate / database folders restarted QT and exported the private key. That took almost 4 minutes.

I smell something fishy right from the get go when the OP opened this thread but no one seems to be concern about finding the truth if the OP actually bought the wallet.dat online or not before helping him cause it something thats happening these days.

Quote from: posi on May 06, 2020, 05:36:02 PM

Meanwhile, I hope the OP is not among those that buy wallet.dat with balance and lost password online.

No, the satoshidisk link is still active, and there is already one idiot who bought this file because of greed. This is what the calculation is made of. Do not get fooled by this shit.

Where do you see it? Give instructions and I will delete the link so as not to offend me.

I do not understand...
What is the situation?
a) password was good, you changed the password to the new one
b) password is still wrong

Is it possible to contact you on Telegram?

the password has changed.

What do you mean the password has changed? You changed it? or the wallet is not accepting it? Huh

the -reindex option does not alter the password. It simply throws away the chainstate and the block index and rebuilds it all from scratch by re-indexing the blocks already on your disk.

Someone made me a dirty joke, and on his advice I entered “C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Bitcoin \ bitcoin-qt.exe” -reindex, now I have to wait another month, the password has changed.

If the password is changed then that's a good news. When you have the time can you please sign a message from the address - 1GRth6rP4uaPXdw2T6HcGmi7f1RzW4xV94 , so know that everything is fine?

I think you can still sign a message while you are reindexing
