Topic: Lost password from bitcoin core. Help is needed. Award 3 btc (Read 565 times)

Many curious, but very few in the case.
I still really need a specialist.
Ready to increase remuneration

are we taking sides here? I thought I stated a fact. recovering wallet passes with bruteforcing is not economically or practically feasible. That's like asking someone to build a space elevator with mud and rock. technically possible, but not probable.

Why the fuck are you mentioning the reward in every post like you are 100% certain you are going to crack the password? Funny guy 

A lot of empty information from clowns who advertise their signature in every hole.
Among this informational garbage smart and serious people come across. No result found yet. The issue is not resolved.
REMEMBER: I do not transfer the wallet - THIS IS NOT DISCUSSED. EXE files I do not accept - do not try.

Does anyone in the community here know who the OP is ?

Sorry if I offended your pathetic suggestion of a tool called " BTC RECOVER "

I think the name speaks for itself how foolish it sounds.

I'm not going to provide any in-depth details on how I would recover OP's password (when nearly $20k is being offered as a reward) , I will not need his wallet file and I'll gladly use a moderator or middleman through the entire process.

Ok... We started namecalling... Sure, why not... Let's go there.


Well... I have NEVER said that people won't get scammed... Ofcourse scammers jump on any opportunity or technology that isn't well understood trying to scam innocent users... btcrecover is no exeption. I'm pretty sure the OP will get several offers of people wanting to help him that are, in fact, scammers without even bringing any tool into the conversation.


I never said btcrecover is the holy grail, i never said it's the go-to application, i even clearly stated that for a strong, random password the odds of finding the password are very low. Sure, there are better tools out there, but i have used btcrecover in the past and i found it pretty easy to run, so from time to time i do give this as one of the potential options a user can try so he doesn't have to give his wallet.dat to a thirth party.

I don't think tools like these have many success stories anyways... It's pretty hard to brute force a password, so i guess most people that try never succeed, and people that succeed only very seldomly post their success story. Only the people that try and fail start to ask questions. I'm not naive, i'm a realist.

I did use this tool myself, and since i have no stake in this question (i'm not trying to charge the op for brute forcing his password), i do hope i'm a credible witness (i'm sure you'll disagree, but i don't really care). If not, i did a quick google and did find this story: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/issues/286
I know this proves nothing, but at least you can't say the tool doesn't work at all.

I'm not affiliated with btcrecover, the OP is free to chose whatever tool or person he wants... Based on your last post i can only assume you claim to have found a weakness in the way bitcoin core implemented wallet encryption (since you bring up the fact you claim to have 7 years of C++ and reverse engineering experience, i can only assume you're not planning on brute forcing the password).
Eventough i haven't seen proof of any of your claims, i wish you the best, and if you're for real and did find an exploit, you'll have a much better chance of helping the op than anybody with a brute force tool... But for now you'll have to understand it's a big if, i haven't seen any proof...

Good luck, i have no intention to keep bickering with you, so i'll remove this topic from my watchlist and hope the OP makes a wise decission.

If OP reaches out to me, I am willing to provide a real solution for 1 BTC and willing to use a moderator or any trusted middle man here to provide a Proof of Concept, as I see there are several users here all facing the same issue.

If so I can help you, I have 7 years of experience in C++ and Reverse Engineering I have also helped several people and companies recover their lost passwords and wallets.

You're ignoring the fact that his software is a complete joke, show me one instance where someone has successfully used this, all I see is people being scammed by commentators on the bin.

Example:

 


How naive are you? This is a complete joke of a program and will not help anyone it is a not a feasible means to recover your password.

One time I am trying to brute force the password in a .zip file that needs more than 3 days, and I give up.
I cannot imagine how long he will needs if he decides to do brute force the password because there will be a billion combinations and it's not easy to do the task, and he needs a very fast computer that will help him, but that is not guaranteed if he can get the password.
Maybe the OP needs to ask roosbit since he/she has succeeded to recover the password in other thread.

Where do you get these 5,000,000 incorrect passwords from? The op didn't mention he had a list of 5,000,000 passwords and only one is/was correct... If he had an ascii file with 4999999 incorrect passwords and 1 correct one, i would defenately have pointed him towards btcrecover... Using such a small password file would have been pretty easy.

Even if his password is only 9 characters long (lower, upper, number, special), there would have been 572,994,802,228,616,704 combinations... Where do you get 5.000.000?

OP: whatever you do, don't send you wallet file to somebody you don't trust... It's ok to let somebody write a walktrough for you tough.

I'm out, good luck

I'll explain it really easy for you.

Post the txt file that contains his password and the other 5,000,000 combination incorrect passwords, I'm sure this "btcrecover" you are referring to is some poorly coded brute forcing tool.

Can you tell me what sounds good when i initially explained btcrecover in this very thread.. Here is how i explained the OP's odds:


And i still stand by my words... I have used btcrecover on my own wallets in the past, but i had a relatively decent idear about what my password might have been... I clearly stated that if the OP has no clue, and he chose a relatively strong password, his odds are very, very, very small... And i don't know about any "tricks" that make password recovery for an encrypted core wallet any easyer... Sure, you can use other, more performant, tools, but it'll always be brute forcing...

The "btcrecover" is not an option and merely a false hope to whoever has lost their bitcoins, in theory when explained it sounds good. But that's it, it just sounds good.

I have used other methods and done so successfully but if anyone here expects me to go ahead and post a proof of concept when there is 3 BTC being offered as a reward, you're sadly mistaken.

Hard to ignore this, so who do you side with in this situation

---

I could do a walkthrough of btcrecover as I have done something similar before, in spite it been for the bitsend project.

If OP is comfortable with this I can start but will require an escrow be setup and funds will be released after completion.

I have several years of experience in this exact field, I can assure you it is possible if the user still has the computer where he frequently used the wallet or first created it, I'm going to respond for the user you quoted but if you can see clearly he is offering an award of 3 BTC.

It would be quite foolish of me to provide hints, tips, or prior methods used to recovery the password/wallet in this scenario wouldn't it.

I can't speak for the user above, but I myself, have recovered over 100 lost passwords/wallet keys for people and businesses. 

Your trust summary says otherwise mate, have you ever recovered any wallets before, if so post the details you have done to help someone recover the accounts.
The only realistic solution is to write down your known passwords and ask someone else's help so that you can run a script with many combinations and if you are lucky you can unlock your coins. Even if someone send you something make sure you scan them before opening it and try to recover yourself as you really do not need to be a tech savvy to try that.

If you are done with your useless post then let me be real to op. Hi you will not get your money from this wallet. Either because you are lying and you are the thief in the first place. Sorry if that offends you. Or simply because brute forcing the password of a btc core wallet has never been successful and would take hundreds of years ( at the least ) for a decently strong password.

I have sent you email. please check sir  
I'm an honest person and won't scam you, and can pay when my work is done

In the first post there is my mail for communication. Everyone who wanted to ask something asked a question by mail or private messages.
Do you have enough space to advertise your signature?



I do not serve beggars on the Internet, only the poor near the church. But I pay for the work done.
I beg you not to fuck my brains. I am not a girl and not a child.



 

I beg of clowns, beggars, and scammers do not waste my time. I'm not a child. My conditions are not discussed - I will not give the wallet to anyone. I am not going to pay for your rest and beer. I only pay for the result.
