Topic: Bitcoin Wallet Password Recovery Without Needing Your Wallet.dat 5-10% fee. (Read 1249 times)

You don't understand.

Most cases, people send me a encrypted private key to a zeroed address (No Bitcoin inside) which they extracted from their Bitcoin wallet. Meaning, I can test for the password and if I do eventually find the password I can't open anything because I don't have the wallet file. Even, if I do know the private key to that address it's still no use to me because I can only gain access to a blank address and not any other address that you store Bitcoin inside. I can't spend any of your money unless, you give me physical access to your private key to an address you store your money on or the actual wallet file.


You can see all the positive feedback here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-wallet-password-recovery-717334


Some wallets do require physcial access because, I have not found a way to extract the key information. But, most major wallets are supported and are safe. However, in these cases I normally suggest people to try it themselves and use free alternatives.


Sorry for the long response, but I totally forgot about this thread and have been maintaining the other thread on a daily basis.

The core-qt is store the encrypted private key so if you have the password you can spend the money form the address.
Electrum have a brainwallet feature password = private key.
Multibit same as core-qt.

I'm proud to announce:


Password recovery services that doesn't require sending wallet.dat

This service is for anyone who has forgotten their encrypted wallet password from the following wallets: Multibit & Bitcoin core. The way the service works is that you send extracted information from your wallet via pywallet, then send it to me and I will attempt to find the correct password. I've done a lot of research and I believe this is the safest way possible. I will never ask you for your wallet file.

Prerequisites:

- You know most of your password and/or give me all the possibilities.
- Extracted dumpfile (pywallet)

Instructions:
Instructions for dumping information using pywallet:

1. Download & install Pywallet and it's dependencies. (https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet)
2. Run Pywallet.
3. Enter the following: python pywallet.py --dumpwallet > information.txt
4. Open information.txt
5. Search for "mkey"
6. Copy the following from the text file:
7. Send a message to me containing this information and your possible passwords and any other information which might help.


Can you steal my Bitcoin?
No, actually we are only using some of the information from the wallet.dat which contains your password. Because, you have only sent us the "mkey" information we don''t have your wallet.dat on file. That means when/if we correctly guess your password we can't access your wallet.dat because you have it!

Fees:
I will be asking for 5-10% the fee is only due when I have successfully found the password.
You can also offer me a fixed price before work as started on the password.
Payment:
When I find the correct password I will ask if you could place the agreed fee  in a escrow. When the escrow confirms he has received the money I shall then go ahead and give you the password and request that the funds be released.

What I can help you with:
- If you can remember most of your passwords but, have forgotten (1-5 unknown characters)
- If you thought you typed the correct password but, think you have made a typo.
- If you remember the password but, can't remember what numbers you included.
- If you can remember the words but, not the combination of words.
- You know your password but, are unsure where capitals were included.


Isn't this aiding thieves?
No, for anyone using this service it requires some knowledge of what the password was. So, anyone who contacts me stating they don't know any characters, or length will not be replied too.

Current compatible wallets:
- Multibit.
- Electrum.
- Bitcoin-qt/Bitcoin Core.

Different methods for different wallets, so please contact me if you are using a different wallet other than bitcoin-qt or bitcoin core.
