Amorbest is a scammer! Look at his red trust before dealing with this guy, he used to offer "recovery" services, and this is no doubt a trick too.

if LoyceV didn't post this I wouldn't ever thought about checking his trust
at best we should just ignore OP and this thread,
and if anyone want to help OP, proceed with caution, know your risk... you have been warned

Found 4113 possible encrypted keys

even if this is true, if recoverable the owner has to remember his passphrase

Just a question, if it is an old wallet, what about the last transaction during 23 oct 2018? Seem to be some faucet or similar though.

it looks like an incoming tx from a mixing service for ads purpose Wink

As an aside, it is not safe to use potentially malicious wallet.dat files. Anyone who gets sent a wallet.dat from a third party should take great care in using it. I would not be shocked if it were possible to get arbitrary code execution from a wallet.dat file. If a bad guy found a way to do that the best way to exploit that discovery would be to pose as someone who corrupted their wallet and encourages people to try to 'scam' them by getting a copy of their wallet or help them with a promise of an outsized reward.

That's what I would be afraid of. Not to mention the obvious attempt to lure the greedy would-be-scammers with such a ploy.

And this:

Anybody who recently "found" and old wallet with 319BTC, probably isn't here asking for a $200 loan.

Don't be so crazy to give the file which you think have 319BTC.

Don't be so crazy to give the file which you think have 319BTC.

Keep a copy of the file in a usb stick. Possibly in two usb stick. Then study yourself, use google, youtube. Give every chance to find the solution while you have the file safe. Talk to people who you think have speciality in this matter. It's good that you have created a topic here. Listen to the experts. I hope someone will be able to assist you.

Again, DO NOT GIVE THIS .DAT file to anyone.

Edit:
I gone through google and was able to find some information for you. I hope this will help.
