Topic: Bitcoin Wallet Recovery Services - for forgotten wallet password - page 7. (Read 63791 times)

May I ask how much fee he collected for this task? I imagine there is no flat rate but instead percentage fee based on amount of bitcoin stored in a wallet, right?

I lost my password to my wallet over 6 months ago.

Initially, I had a friend try and crack it and when he was uncessfull he went to someone else
 Had no idea it was Dave.

Then last week I had another friend take my wallet and he too was unsuccessful.

So I contacted Dave myself, not knowing he had my wallet already.  As I begin to explain my situation about my wallet... He already knew the passphrases that were given to him.

Asked me for any more possible combinations, literally hours later he was able to decrypt it.

It was for a significant amount of coins, more than 30. He kept his bargain and sent me the remaining coins.

I highly recommended Dave. His company is one you can definitely trust. 5 months later, he did his job. Just make sure you are somewhat close to your passphrase.


Cheers

I had an Orbitcoin wallet with pretty much ORB in it... and a lost password 
Dave was my last hope to unlock the wallet. And he did! 

If you ever need to unlock your wallet, i recommend Dave's wallet recovery service,
he's a very nice and trustable guy.

Dave, many many thanks for your help, i really appreciate it.

 

Thank you Dave for recovering my ETH presale wallet!
Got my ether minus the 20% fee!
I wrote my password down wrong, and I was lucky that the actual password was very similar.
Thank you again.

Hi All.
Ok, here is the actual situation, with regards to the 100 BTC in question:
This wallet first surfaced in June 2014. Refer to the thread in this forum at



Dave, your lie knows no limit. You claim that the wallet passed from hand to hand since 2014 and came to you several times from different people. And knowing about it, you or your owner didn't withdraw a coin. Nevertheless, only after the owner asked me for the help, and I sent all data after Pywallet to you, 8 hours of a coin later flowed away. And now you try to justify, thinking out a legend? I proofs of communication with you, and sendings data provided to you. Show you to us proofs of the words, correspondence the other. Dates have to coincide.

"over 900"?!? That's pretty damn impressive.

It's pretty interesting about the people trusting you when they actually wouldn't have to. They choose the perceived risk of trusting you above the hassle of going through using some obscure process to treat the wallet.dat with.

Almost seems man wants to trust. Makes him feel warm and cozy inside, I guess. Probably this was at some point (maybe still is?) an evolutionary advantage.

I wonder what this means regarding our beloved trustless currency. Will people be easily lured into possibly dangerous offchain schemes because they're easier to use? We've actually already seen this: mtGox. It was just easier and more convenient (ready to trade) to keep the coins on the exchange.
I used to comfort myself with the fact that a "bank run" would always be possible. But looking at the blocksize limit freeze, bank runs might be slow and costly. Thing about bank runs: they need to be quick to be effective. If there's transaction backlog the "bank" has the luxury of time and thus remains capable of acting. The threat of a run is therefore greatly reduced.

Sorry, I went off on a tangent there.

keep up the great work, Dave.
over 900! wow.

Hi Molecular.
As you know, the method of producing 'limited' wallet information from a bitcoin-core wallet has been proven to be 'safe' for the owner of the wallet. By this, I mean that if someone sends me the limited wallet information, there is literally no way for me to take possession of the coins.
So, in answer to your question... I have no way of being sure of my cut in this situation. In practise, I have been very pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are honest enough to send me my success fee when I have helped them recover their money. I would say that fewer than 15% have reneged on their part of the deal. Given that most people that contact me remain anonymous, that is surprisingly low. I guess that when you are looking at losing the entire amount of bitcoins, then to receive typically 80% of them back is pretty pleasing, and most do pay me the fee.
To add to this explanation, in fact most people these days just send me their wallet.dat file directly. I guess that I've been around long enough, and gained enough trust for people to feel comfortable doing that.
Plus other wallet formats (like armory, BitGo, airbitz, BIP38, Eth-pre-sale, etc) do not even have the ability to send 'trustless', limited wallet information, so those people just send me their wallet file.
I am well aware that my business model relies heavily upon trust and my reputation, so I ensure that I act honestly at all times with my clients (who now number over 900).
Cheers
Dave

Hi All.
Ok, here is the actual situation, with regards to the 100 BTC in question:
This wallet first surfaced in June 2014. Refer to the thread in this forum at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663544.20
The wallet was actually stolen from an FTP site, and belongs to a respected user on this forum, https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/technologov-105669
This wallet has been floating around the internet since then, but it has a strong password, and has never been cracked.
Over the years, I have been sent this wallet several times, by different people. (and when it was first sent to me, I didn't realize it was stolen, and I tried to crack it, but without success.)
Anyway, a few days ago, this new guy, 'User Good', sent me the wallet. Not knowing the details of the wallet, I agreed to my standard contract of a 20% success fee. However once he sent me the wallet, I realized that this was the stolen wallet from 2 years ago.
At this point, I sent an email to the actual owner, informing him that this wallet was floating around with a bunch of hackers. He then moved the coins from that compromised wallet to somewhere else. I informed 'User Good' about exactly what had occurred.
That would normally be the end of the (happy) story, however now 'User Good' is badgering me for the return of 'his' 100 BTC. He even admits that the wallet was sent to him from someone else, and he has no idea of the password. He threatened to vilify me on the forums unless I sent him some bitcoins. I informed the actual owner (Technologov) about this, and he kindly clarified the situation - see the last posting in the thread at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663544.0;all

All the information above is verifiable, and I have email conversations to prove it, including my correspondence with the rightful owner.
Cheers
Dave

Why do you think Dave is in control of the money?

The guy demanding to be given his coins by you might as well have moved the coins himself. It's a trap!

What make-up? About what you speak. I provided proofs, there are all files which I sent Dave and correspondence is visible. I don't need your coins. The person who provided to me a wallet demands return of the sum. And dave doesn't hurry to send or at all decided not to give.

The poster just want to solicit bitcoin to all readers,on the first two phrase he is telling his story on how he lost his large amount of bitcoin and and how unsuccessful to recover it then he post his bitcoin address for readers to send a donation,this could just be a make up story..

@Dave: I've always wondered: how do you make sure you get your cut in case someone used the method where he doesn't share the keys?

he also posted it on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/46fcfo/wwwwalletrecoveryservicescom_scam/

I asked questions about his story and clarified Dave couldn't steal his coins if he followed instructions.

No answer or clarifications on story. Also not to other posters there.

I guess it's just a ploy to get coins. Albeit it can't be very successfull I assume becuase the story is really hard to understand.

Hi. At once I want to apologize for the English, it is not my native language. Therefore perhaps there are a lot of mistakes in the text.

I ask community to help to understand to me in the circumstances. The person for the help in selection of the forgotten password for the BTC of a purse asked me recently. The purse had balance 100 BTC. I included the program and some time without success tried to find its password. Then to reduce search time I decided to ask for the help more qualified specialists. And readings information in a network I found the DAVE BITCOIN http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/service in a search result

I contacted Dave E-mail: [email protected], is lower a correspondence screen. Where told it a situation. And Dave agreed to help with selection of the password for payment of 20% of the sum. I installed the program which is recommended on the site Dave and which allegedly has to subtract the password from confidential keys after dump. But actually, as it appeared there is something other and Dave receives as a result of decoding not the password the phrase and your private keys. Also can do then with your coins anything and not return them to you.

All archive after dump was sent to pywallet.py 17.02.2016 at 1.01 o'clock local time.
Lower link to archive and screen. It is sent to the address DaveBitcoin walletrecoveryservices@gmail .com,

After a while 8-10 hours of a coin from a purse were transferred by someone to other address. Here link to transaction: https://blockexplorer.com/tx/d298a4010c034e31290077b332102457ebdd8cbf1d1b22b15404fadf695d0db4

After that Dave didn't contact some hours. But late at night he at last wrote. He writes me, the purse was stolen and other owner, I at Dave had an address E-mail to which contacted the new owner and it type translated coins. It Dave as if has no relation to transaction any more.

It guarded me and I wrote the response letter of Dave where asked to provide correspondence or the Email address new, allegedly the owner of a purse. For clearing of a situation. I didn't receive the answer to this request.

The next morning the owner of a purse who initially asked me for the help contacted, I depicted to it a situation as is. He assured me that he is the real owner but not someone another and asked to return quicker to it it BTC.

Now I have a difficult situation on the one hand the owner of a purse who demands to return its sum. On the other side of Dave which used means but doesn't wish to return necessary part back. How to me to arrive? I have obligations to the owner of a purse, perhaps I should collect the necessary sum. Therefore all possible donations can be directed on the address: 1J7VXXp78o1zuSoxZYr5e9zvdSe9ybspEX

Did anyone ever get their bitcoin back from Walletbit/BIPS? Still pisses me off to this day they stole my bitcoin yet still continue to operate.

What?
