Can I please get validated wallets to check myself and give a second opinion?
Using pywallet dump and comparing blockchain transactions as well as testing which can actually be opened in Bitcoin Core or the ones which can be salvaged, I can say, after quite a bit of effort I put into this, that there aren't many shared bitcoin wallets (no surprise actually), wallets worth trying to crack the passphrase.
If anyone has the ones the thread author refers to as validated, please email me at
bitxchg @ gmail . com
and I will provide my own analysis of their authenticity and secondly, reward whoever shared them.
Good luck guys!
