When you say that you hid the wallet.dat in a file what exactly do you mean? Did you put it in an archive together with pictures, MP3 files, used an icon changer to change its appearance and used winrar to archive it?

I'd like to know this too

Depending on what you did, pywallet can be used to search the entire partition. Don't forget to create one or more backups before continuing your search.

Check your coin privilege

I can help you recover your wallet.dat. I'm sure that as long as the file is there I'll probably find it, I've sent you a PM.

The problem with Steganography is that you could have hidden your wallet.dat into any video, audio, image or text... 12Gb can (and probably will) contain hundreds of potential files... Without knowing which technique you used and which password you used, it's a daunting task

This is extremely bad practice when it comes to handling money. There is no guarantee that the file is even in there at all. Lips sealed

Presumably OP used one of the many Steganography tools out there, but you're right, that may not necessarily be the case.

OP what tool did you use to hide the wallet.dat file?

EDIT: or you could use backtrack and just go through the files that you created in that time frame when you hid the file. For example if you know that the wallet.dat was hidden before NOV 2013 but not earlier than JUL 2013 - search through the files created in those months. You might remember where you hid it.

Hi FlipPro, i am a computer engineer, i can try to find your wallet.dat.
I’m one of the developer of xdag coin and i did a lot escrows services for that coin (at least one shot worth 50k$, but a lot of 20k$ each). So i think that i’m reliable, if interested you can send me a PM and i’ll show you more references, if you need.
Cheers
Marco.

I guess you'll be able to improve your odds if you have a clue about:

The time when you hid the wallet.dat... If you haven't edited the picture/movie/text/audiofile since then, you *might* be able to look at the timestamp when the media files on your disk were last modified and decrease the number of files that have to be examined drastically
The password used... Without this password, it's a task that virtually impossible

But in my honest opinion, just sending a random on the internet 12 Gb of random data with the promise that in one of the files you're sending them, you've steganographically hidden a wallet.dat won't give you any positive results...

Several years back around 2013-ish I sold my friend some Bitcoins and hid the wallet.dat in a file.

I cannot remember if it was a picture file vs MP3 or what...

The point is I can't find his wallet.dat anywhere... I tried scanning files that looked like they were "it" through Winrar but got nowhere.

I need someone who's good with data and can do a deep scan on about 12 gigs of data and find any missing artifacts (wallet.dat!).

If you find the wallet.dat you can keep 10% of the total BTC. I think the number was no less than 10 BTC so this might be a good way to earn a Bitcoin!

PM me with your contact information and any relevant experience you may have. I WILL NOT be releasing the data to anyone who's anonymous...

TRUSTWORTHY people only!

Cheers,
Brian
