Hi,
Looking for someone to take my wallet.dat file and recover. Will "tip".
I would be a little cautious about giving out your "wallet.dat" file to anyone you don't know or whose reputation on this forum (or elsewhere) is not well known.
It might be time to read up a bit on wallet recovery steps - one first thing to note is that if you have even a fairly old wallet backup it might well have the private key(s) required to recover your BTC as a key pool of usually 100 are created when your wallet is created (the rescan option might be required if starting the client up with an older backup).
Also whatever you do make sure you keep a copy of the current wallet.dat (if you do end up still deciding to give it to someone else).
Cheers,
Ian.

I've recovered the private key and imported it into a new wallet, and am currently waiting for an address to return the coins to (minus whatever tip he decides on giving me).
