Doesn't sound like you need a programmer or even someone to recover the private keys. You need someone to look at the hard drive and see if anything is salvageable, specifically the wallet.dat. Without that you aren't going to get back into the funds I'm sorry. Consult someone who you trust and also specializes in recovering hard drives.

what do you have that people can work on? from what i can glean you overwrote anything to do with the wallet, the disk then died and then the dead disk was stolen several years ago?

uh, beyond consulting a psychic, or god, it's time to let go.

it sounds like you might know the address and have absolutely nothing else. if it was possible to get anything out of an address this forum wouldn't exist because bitcoin and all crypto would've died many years ago.

So weak sig or hashcat brute with a api against the web to validate wont be sufficient ?
i know more than just the address.... but nothing more than anyone else who has had the same issue per se. .

i know it seems daunting and all.. just really FUBAR .... i wouldn't hold my breathe but then i wouldn't give in as its over 100 btc
You need either of these two things:
- Private key
- Wallet.dat

If you have none of these then it's impossible to crack it (wallet.dat) and it's impossible to import it (private key).

It is impossible to recover a wallet without the .dat file as that file is the most important one in many wallets like Bitcoin Core and Electrum.

The only way for you to have a chance to recover the wallet is if you can send your hard disk which has gone bad to some specialized IT repair service and see if they can bring it back to life. This way you can have access to your wallet or simply can copy the old .dat wallet to a new Bitcoin Core installation and if you don't have any password to the wallet.dat file you can continue where you left. This is almost impossible as a recovery service is not guaranteed to give you the .dat file before the one you overwrote it but is your only chance and it is extremely slim.

ps-  I overwrote the .dat and then had a hdd go bad, crap WD  back then or faulty I/O controller. but i saved the system entire pc... then..my residence was broken into and it taken Sad 1yr afterwards... So i lost the .dat and priv key as it was on that machine. that was 2013 when it was taken and clearly never accessed.  -- just fyi

Your request sounds impossible to me as you just lost the two crucial piece necessary to recover your funds.

Also private keys can't be reversed. Is this the whitepaper you're talking about? https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper

Long long story ...So the wallet i have is a old one from 2012 single instance and i gave up on it about 8months to 1 year ago. Well unfortunate circumstances require me to gain access and remove funds.
I have researched it to the extent where there are 3 methods which i reviewed in white papers and proven in concept to where the private key can be pulled, reversed etc however this requires a programmer which i am not. I will offer 50% of my wallet granted i can regain access to it and recover my funds. BTC is 100+ .. i need it for cancer treatment for my fiance / ex fiance ya thats another story and time well, i digress..  

So is there any service or anyone in particular or perhaps someone who knows enough and is willing to help?? i can send over the white papers for them to review and perhaps they can put it into practice where i have failed to do so.. i wont post my info publicly or the papers either as its not for anyone to read.... i doubt they will even work or anyone but a guru can really make work.. but that being said .. if there is a way to do it please someone do it for a worthy cause..

So i would really be thankful for some help  and pointed in the right direction or PM me... so any ideas please share.
Thank you.
