So what if i make this a challenge combined with a lottery?

Brainstorming:

I send a copy of the extracted keyfile for let's say 0.05BTC
Everybody that 'buys' the keyfile is put on a list, and if someone manages to crack the passphrase, the contents of the wallet get divided by all those users.

what about you publish extracted data and anyone who cracks the password would 'blackmail' you for bounty, simple

That's what i'm trying to avoid Grin

nothing bad about this in my opininon, you could get to media with such competiton, you could end up with multiple users who solved the password and you just pick the best offer

Good idea, but there have to be minimum - something like 1BTC

That's way to steep.

More than likely most would just buy a spot on the list and do nothing.

as there is no guaranty that you will not keep the wallet and try to recover the password on your own you should consider turning this auction into contest with bounty

Anyone could try to crack the password with this tool: https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

Quote

“Offline” mode for nearly all supported wallets - use one of the extract scripts (click for more information) to extract just enough information to attempt password recovery, without giving btcrecover or whoever runs it access to any of the addresses or private keys in your Bitcoin wallet.

I think contest with bounty isn't a bad idea. Escrow a bounty, publish the partial wallet information (extracted with btcrecover extract scripts), and let people try to crack the password with btcrecover. Set a deadline (eg one month). If nobody cracks the password, sell your wallet. Since you consider these bitcoins are lost, you have nothing to lose.

I'm not intrested in waisting my time holding contests, sorry.
If nobody places a bid, i keep it. If anyone wants it, you can PM me.

Sorry, I don't have 0.5+BTC to buy a pig in a poke.
Still, I wish you good luck.

4 CPU cores do ~360kP/s though with 2⁹⁰ combinations we are talking ~ 10¹⁴ years. Even if you split the work among a million machines chances of finding the password are very low.

Exactly my point. That's why i auction it. Read OP.

The passphrase is 9 characters long. I know i've set the generator at +1, and default length is 8.

Didnt you say its a multibit wallet? Btcrecover does not support GPU accelaration for multibit. 4 CPU cores do ~360kP/s though with 2⁹⁰ combinations we are talking ~ 10¹⁴ years. Even if you split the work among a million machines chances of finding the password are very low.

I dont think anyone will buy this.

Agreed. Like stated before, several users doing nothing but recovering passphrased went trough the trouble for several weeks/months without any result.

I will not share the wallet with anyone, because that means, if they manage to crack my passphrase, they can simply empty my wallet and vanish.

This post is an auction. Place a bid if you are so confident you'll crack it, simple as that. It will gain you more than 44% if you manage.

Print screens can be faked. There is no guarantee that the OP does actually have the PW to the wallet and that he will spend the BTC once he receives payment for the wallet.

IMO the OP's best bet would be to give the wallet to someone he can trust and that has the resources to crack the PW and then have that person agree to send the OP a certain percentage of any BTC that can be recovered.

You mean like i did about 3 times now? Read the topic before posting please, it has been stated what efforts i've done so far.

The passphrase is 9 characters long. I know i've set the generator at +1, and default length is 8.

Alright so this is really one for the NSA to crack. 3 months and no luck any chance of the Bitcoin Addy to check the balance ?

Address send in PM. Like stated in the OP, address on request only.

The address that was sent to me did indeed have over 17 BTC but then again he could have sent me any address.

Selling my multibit wallet holding 17.17BTC.

The wallet is locked and the passphrase is forever gone!
I changed the passphrase to a new one due to a suspected virus (shitcoin wallet download), and the second i copy-pasted the generated password in notepad my PC crashed.
I've tried every possible or known password recovery method, and have payed over 5BTC bounties so far for people to try and break it. I even had my SDD scanned for some clipboard data.

You'll get:
The .wallet and the .key file for the wallet
The length and composition of the password (i know the settings of my generator)

Best offer is accepted, since they are lost to me anyway. Do you feel like you can crack this unknown password? Hoping for some quantum computers soon? This is your shot!
Escrow accepted at your own costs and efforts. Escrow agreement is to release the coins once i've transfered the .wallet and .key file.

Wallet address is available on request only.

Starting bid is 0.5BTC, minimum increments of 0.1BTC
Private bidding is allowed.

Good luck bidding
