Thanks for all of your inputs.
I've just sent the wallet over to these guys.
Hopefully he/they can fix it.
Re: Broken BTC core wallet.dat, 0,1 BTC reward for fix!!
Of course you already ran a check-disk with file system error fixing and bad sector scan/repair, right? Are there more files corrupted on that disk?
Hello,
yes I already tried that. It shows no other corruptions and as far as I understand system error fixing and error repair, it would alter the file even further and therefore would make it worse?
But it was worth the try.
Thanks for your input.
Re: Broken BTC core wallet.dat, 0,1 BTC reward for fix!!
Thanks for all of your input. I already tried --salvage and pywallet, both without success.
What exactly happened when you tried pywallet? It would be useful to know exactly what you tried, and therefore, what you didn't... just on the off-chance that someone might be able to spot a flaw in your methodology... "pywallet didn't work" doesn't really tell us much
You are right.
That's what I tried:
python pywallet.py --recover --recov_device=/path/to/wallet/wallet.dat --recov_size=1Mo --recov_outputdir=/home/blabla/
Paths are obviously not the real one's
It scanned the wallet and says nothing found. (yes I entered the correct password)
Re: Broken BTC core wallet.dat, 0,1 BTC reward for fix!!
Sorry to say but you might have to trust an "expert" with the file, and to trust that he.she wouldnt run away with the money. After all, it would be a crime and who would commit a crime for a louse, lets say, 10 BTC, 140K dollars? Not worth the bad karma 
I indeed believe in the concept of karma, so I would get it back in some way anyhow. But i would prefer to have the coins in this life
Re: Broken BTC core wallet.dat, 0,1 BTC reward for fix!!
changed link
but yeah my bad works with no pass
alternative one
1 in a million:
Make sure you do not lose your backup wallet.dat file.
Make a backup of your backup wallet.dat file. (copy the file)
Cut off the end of the wallet.dat file, so only the first 80% exists. Basically, split the file in two.
Try putting in the first half wallet.dat file you've made from your backup.
If you're lucky it will get to the point of having your btc
Interesting idea, I will try that.

Seems like that's my best bet. I will try that.
Thanks for your help!

Since the backup is on an external drive, I guess that I maybe once removed the drive to soon (without safe removal). About the version, I am not sure, but a rather old one, as this happened back in 2014 / 2015. Until recently I did not check my backup...

Let's start from here: how did your backup get corrupted? I often read this, but in general digital files don't just get corrupted out of the blue. Something must have happened to it. "Corrupted" can be a lot of things.
What version of Bitcoin Core were you using when you last used the wallet.dat before you made the backup?

Hello & thanks for reading,
To clarify one thing from the start, despite this is a new bitcointalk.org account I am not new to the community, nor I am a complete noob. I've just been inactive a very long time and therefore my old user account is blocked.
See here if you are interested further, or can help me with this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2527012.msg25801490#msg25801490
To the more relevant topic:
I could now tell you how stupid I am with accidently formatting one of my main harddrives with the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb" and of course, yes you guess it, a bitcoinwallet with let's say a decent amount of coins saved on it.
But instead I will just tell you that the backup I had of one of my bitcoincore: "wallet.dat" files (yes it's the one from above...) is corrupted and now I ask for help.
I have absolutely no Idea if this wallet is recoverable at all, or if it is even worth the try.
The private key is encrypted with a very strong password, so I would have no problem in handing the file over to potential helpers.
Edit: Due to hint of some members I reduced the reward to a more reasonable value.
I offer 0,1 BTC to the first one who comes back to me with a readable (and of course spendable) copy of the wallet. Or just extract the private key in a read-/spendable form.
As this is about a great sum of money I would need someone to Escrow this, as I am not up2date regarding this, I am open for suggestions on the "who and how", about the Escrow part.
Again thanks for reading and hoping for useful input

Hello dear bitcointalk community!
I haven't been around here since in a while (a long while).
However due to the recent price rise in Bitcoins I am more interested in what's currently going on, so I decided to check out bitcointalk.org. And then --> boom you are locked.
Mailing now for over 2 months to the email adresses that show up in the "hey you are locked messages" but no reply whatsover.
I do get this message when I try to login with my old user account "Macrum"
