Sorry for stupid question. How do I do that ?

I don't know what a public and/or private key is.... (as many others)

Which wallet do you mean? MXC1, MXC2 or Master. Or the MXC2 with the err extension?

Make a backup of each of those wallet.dats, now.

You can try them one by one by putting them in the bitcoin app data folder. Once Bitcoin Core starts it will work with whatever wallet.dat is present in that folder. Give it time to start and also to stop. Check in the task manager if you are unsure if it is still running.

Do you know which address holds the coins that you want to recover?

Step-by-step instructions for working on a single address here:
http://computriks.com/en/bitcoin-export-private-key

For working on a whole wallet.dat look into pywallet http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=pywallet

It is somewhat more complex though.

I installed Electrum. At startup it is asking me:

- Create new wallet
- Restore an existing wallet from its seed
- Create a watching-only version of an existing wallet

...what should I choose ?

I doesn't need to be Electrum. Once you have your keys and a properly working Bitcoin Core again, you can import private keys there.

As a side note: Having different wallets running on the same machine within VMs does not add any safety, IMHO.

You get 0.5 BTC if you can help me, doesn't matter how easy/hard it is for you...

I have two "Win7 Ultimate" VM's where I store my BTC's and other cryptos. MXC1 is my safe, where I store the bigger amounts in their wallets. MXC2 is the VM from which I do all the little transfers.
Because I had time, I rebuilt a new "Master" (Win7 Ultimate), installed all the wallets and left them synchronize. They did not finish, not enough time.
During that I sent my BTC's from the safe (MXC1) to MXC2. After that I shutdown MXC1 and transferred my BTC's from MXC2 to the new "Master", where I could see them after a while.
So, MXC2 and the Master, still synchronizing, where running while my machine crashed, because I played around with sgminer.
After reboot of my PC, and restart of the two VM's MXC2 and Master, I could not see my BTC's anywhere...
In MXC2 I found a "wallet.dat.err 044" or something like this. I renamed it to wallet.dat and started the wallet. It did not show up my BTC's. Then I stopped.
I still have the old MXC1 VM.

I'm happy to pay 0.5 BTC for my stupidity, if I get the rest back :-)
I don't know enough about bitcoin/blockchain to help myself :-(

Export the private keys by using dumpprivatekey and import them into electrum.

Help to deal with the problem: I'd like to understand what happened - theft BTC or system error.
On the purse was the amount 12,89 BTC. When opening the wallet has failed, in which the wallet started synchronizing with the first block. After synchronization is complete, the balance of the purse 0,0009 BTC, there are two transactions, which I did not commit, to unknown address 1MbDKqngwKQ49TowToHGc9nZBRt99CqK8т on the amount 12.8 BTC and 0,098 BTC.
How to determine: whether this address is the address of my wallet and not visible due to a system error, or the theft occurred, and this address belongs to a thief?
If this is a bug, what can I do to return BTC?

Find a way to see the location of address and transaction done by, that may help to find that person who theft coins.

Thanks

If it was an unknown address you don't own, then you cannot do anything. Maby just try to find out how the hack might happenen. Sad

Yes,
I am very sad for your money, but this seems like it is a hack or something like this. Hope you will find the thief.

After my lose all my coins on localbitcoins i found what happen. Was an XSS attack made by trader/seller he was used XSS atack after/when he release bitcoins from escrow. After that coins was send in new wallet to BTC-E.com account. So i will never use localbitcoins.com again and never do business
online. face - face cash in hand and offline wallet's is GOD of security. FU LOCALBITCOINS they know about this bug since 2013 and still working till today.

I call FUD.

Which other URL was involved in the XSS attacK?
How do you know it was a XSS in the first place?
How do you know the localbitcoins knows about this bug since 2013?
How can your coins be gone after release from escrow?
Thats exactly what escrow is for, you only release the coins when the other side did their part of the deal.

Yes, madtune only has two identical posts.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/madtune-332334

In both he claims to have lost his BTC but I am not so sure.

madtune, if you are still there, now that localbitcoins is back up everyone is just dying to know: are your BTC still there or not?

You should really start reading everything. It is not even clear that OP lost anything but rather missunderstood who localbitcoins and wallets work.

Damn localbitcoins i just lose 3.5 btc my account was hacked and can't login to see other transaction.

my money was send from this wallet 1NUi7FYqUfk7Xmx15h7KWZEwfi2hEKpdLn to this one 1Jme6DcnyuRbVKcsDXTsgFbpkUzPtsR7Bc after few mins he send again to this wallet 14hkTLRiar9RXLhWc8sJTohBhG4pbXXG2S. It's any way to block, freze that wallet please let me know.

https://blockchain.info/address/1Jme6DcnyuRbVKcsDXTsgFbpkUzPtsR7Bc
https://blockchain.info/address/14hkTLRiar9RXLhWc8sJTohBhG4pbXXG2S

also i don't have 2 verification on my wallet how he get my password i think is very sick site now is down for 10 hours and they say that localbitcoins had no problem and user are responsible for the lose.

Are you sure this isn't just movement of coins within localbitcoins? When you deposit coins at localbitcoins they are going to move them all over the place, into cold storage, out again, send them off to someone totally unrelated to you. That would be normal. When you deposit BTC into an account they are not in a wallet. Do you understand the difference between a deposit account and a wallet?

From:

https://blockchain.info/address/14hkTLRiar9RXLhWc8sJTohBhG4pbXXG2S

They were sent here:

https://blockchain.info/address/16R14EH4v8A9GPXkAAP8gcMFBA8oxA8nbY

Which looks to be one of the main localbitcoin holding addresses (2566 transactions, Total Received 278,020.31459056 BTC, Final Balance 281.94472817 BTC)

Wait for the site to come back up and see if they still have your coins.

You should have setup 2 factor. It is impossible to "block" or "freeze" the address since its peer to peer. You should also try to put a stronger password. Try to scan for malware, virus or keyloggers in your computers and phones.

Well, you are responsible. All bitcoin transactions are irreversible, and we cannot "block" or "freeze" a wallet. It's your own fault.
Why didn't you set up 2FA? The hacker could've put some keylogger on your system, stolen your cookies and whatnot. Also, why store your bitcoins on a web service?

It is your own fault. It's time your learnt that this world is harsh and cruel.
