I dont got the old wallet.dat file i got the new one but i read and said keymeta a lot of characters and separators and is a big list. The dumpwallet none of them said keymeta or nothing just the address and the private key. But this file its encrypted it look like ascII.

Well have you sent any bitcoin transaction from the old wallet to the new one?

If you haven't, and you lost all the copies of the old wallet.dat, I'm afraid you lost access to the bitcoins (especially if the wallet copies were deleted a long time ago).

I just know that looks like the same file i keep on my cellphone micro sd from the last time i see the bitcoin. I know that wallet.file is the old one. I remember i encrypted with the password i got. It was a bunch of addresses and private keys. now to complete the wallet.dat file change for a notepad symbol and yes i make 2 transaction from the wallet and then instead of 4,005 encryoted keys got 4011 encrypted keys. The wallet add ^ keys more for those transactions. How i got 4,011 transactions now? the wallet added the transaction with the old ones.

Do you see the pics showing the before and after the transactions?

Reading and looking for info its look like ASCII encrytion i am pretty sure is ascII. I will try to get a app or something to help on this.
Some help will be fine. Its got all the characters of that type of encryption.

I unlocked the wallet and see if show in human readable format but still encrypted. I think if i use something like pywallet it will work because i got all the passwords. But is a freaking bunch of stuff like a lot. I will keep looking for info or something but any help will be good.

No i dont got the old wallet.dat file i got the file from the new Bitcoin core that i download and took like month and a half downloading the blockchain. With my passphrase i create the wallet and always got the same file. I will buy a better computer to download again bitcoin core because i using an old laptop running on low memory just like 11.5 gb left.
I believe that every node download the blockchain from block 0. Took like 10 to 20 second for each block to download last time i saw the bitcoin was long years ago.

You can't just recover your old wallet by using the same password from your new wallet.

You need to find the old wallet.dat file do you have this?

If you don't have the old wallet.dat file you can't able to recover your old wallet with Balances.

Try to check the wallet folder and maybe the old wallet is there.
If you are using Windows OS you can find it on %APPDATA%\Bitcoin type it on "Run" you can press WinKey+R to open "Run" and paste that shortcut if it doesn't work you can try to type this %APPDATA%\ then enter then look for Bitcoin folder then wallet.

Then check the wallet folder if it shows 2 files with .dat files(E.g. wallet.dat and wallet1.dat). So if you found two wallets there is a possibility that one of these is your old wallet.

I found the file with your instruction but is encrypte y can read a little of it. What i can do to decrypt it looks like one file years ago i encrtpted and put it on my cellphone micro sd. i think i need a notepad c++ on way to be readable. It said keymeta everywhere this is the file with the bunch of key metadata.i unlock the wallet and see the file again but is still encrypted. i dont goin to sleep till i make this work.

Yes its the latter . Bitcoin qt got
1,password
2.passphrase

No... that is not how Bitcoin QT (aka Bitcoin Core) works.

Bitcoin QT originally had NO password at all, there was no wallet file encryption. Version 0.4.0 (Sep 2011), they added wallet encryption: https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.4.0

Bitcoin QT/Core has never used a recovery "passphrase" system that wallets like Exodus/Jaxx/Coinomi/Electrum and hardware wallets use. Bitcoin QT/Core has always relied on making backups of the wallet.dat file.

Quote from: mafafojr on July 28, 2021, 07:35:42 AM

Maybe people forget the password and just got the passphrase. At least in my case i download bitcoin core put the same password and the same passphrase and got my old info and the old configuration.

If you download Bitcoin Core onto a new computer and run it, it will create a brand new wallet.dat file with completely new private keys/addresses... even if you use the same password as a previous wallet, the private keys/addresses will be different.

You can NOT recover your wallet in Bitcoin Core simply by using the same password. You absolutely must have a copy of the previous wallet.dat file... if you don't have a copy, then you will never recover your old wallet.

How i can explain the hole bunch of encrypted key with metadata its will be impossible i think.

No, it's not impossible. All you are seeing is the "new" keys/addresses that have been created in your new wallet.

Again, with Bitcoin Core, to recover your old wallet, you need a backup copy of the original wallet.dat... there is no recovery passphrase option available.

Hi to everyone!
I need some help because suddenly i remember mining like crazy in the early days late 2009 to 2010 somewhere there and back and forward along the years till like 2017-2018 then i completely forget about it.
...
i ve been hours trying to do this barely sleep reading and trying to do something without results. I remember in 2010 having almost 10,000 bitcoin i ven can believe it and thats a fact. Let see how this goes for the good!

If you had that many coin from 2009 and 2010, then WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU MENTION IT IN A PUBLIC FORUM!???!?!

Don't you know that you probably now made yourself a target -- from international intelligence and tax collectors!
Can you imagine how much you might owe in tax, and would be unable to pay??

I wouldn't just be losing sleep over lost bitcoin...

Ignore the extra keys. It's bitcoin core making extra reserve keys as you make transactions, about 1000 at a time, in case you need more of them in the future.

How many addresses do you see in the wallet? the number of those is what you should be focused on because there's the same number of private keys in the wallet that could actually contain a useful balance.

-snip- But i know i will get it back. Just need help thats it.

I'd just like to suggest you to please be careful on sending information and files over email/PM.
Specially your wallet.dat, your passphrase and the file where your alleged encrypted private keys are.

Keep the discussion public without giving private information as much as possible so other users can comment on the legitimacy of the "help" you're getting.

I wont reply any further until the inconsistencies are cleared.

Regards.

Hi ive read the posts and see you still trying? Did you see your balance in bitcoin core or does it say 0 balance? So I hope you still have your wallet from 2010. Did you ever find the address that has your mined bitcoins in blockchain.com.

I see your post and you were trying to sell a binance account? Thats look really shady.

Ok so i see you got some of your private keys from bitcoin core. You need go to www.electrum.org and download it, then create new wallet on that. Then sweep your private keys to new address. If it shows balance on electrum then you are right if not then you had wrong key. If you can email me i can help you further.
Also make sure you make copy of 2 wallets you got wallet and wallet.dat and put them in new folder so you dont mess it up. This is important, just right click copy and paste them somewhere else.

your email was on the mining section and its deleted already. Can you write your email again to email you.

Ok i do the 2 backups already. I was trying to download a c++ notepad plugin or something to decrypt the file. I remember long time ago get my bitcoinback with pywallet and store the file in the micro sd of my cellphone and its unbelievable that i can do nothing with even with password and everything.
