Re: I found a wallet.dat on the deep web with millions of bitcoins
Browsing the deep web, I found a wallet.dat, download it and import it to electrum and to my surprise it contains millions of bitcoin, what can I do? I'm pretty scared, I just created an account on this forum right now just to post this.
Looks like a fairy tail for me because AFAIK you can not import wallet.dat into Electrum as this wallet does not support such kind of files.
Am I wrong? If yes, please, give the step by instruction how to do this just for the case the luck will be my lady when I start the sieving the deep web
. Of course it is totally possible to import a wallet.dat file to electrum, anyone who uses electrum on the forum can confirm this
Nope, you can not import wallet.dat into Electrum. The latter allows the import of private key but to get it from wallet.dat file you need to open it with Bitcoin Core first and then, extract it via relevant console command providing pertaining password in the case when the file is encrypted.
Thus, as I already said, you story is nothing more than fairy tail.
