Re: got old passphrase and possible pass

If it's a multibit seed then you need to set the correct "Derivation Path" in electrum.

If yes proceed as follows:

1. Electrum Creat/Restore
2. I allready have a seed
3. Enter your Seed, Click Option, BIP39 Seed, Click Next
4. Change Derivation Path from  ( m/44'/0'/0')  to ( m/0' ) Click Next
5. Set Password and Restore Wallet

Edit/ Ok, I've just seen that it's probably an old Electrum seed so my guide will not work.

I put in seed in electrum and new password it opened a wallet with zero balance .does this mean the end of the road or could it be another wallet ? I’m sure that the funds were originally sent so should I of put in old password ? I was told elsewhere that I should put new password for it .would it of opened this wallet if it was not used before, the history Is blank as well thanks

The password does not matter - it is only for encryption.
if the seed you used restores an empty wallet you have either a false seed or never received a transaction.

Import the other addresses until you find the right ones with your BTC.

Yes.. it probably is a multibit seed... thanks for your input.
Maybe read the thread first before posting nonsense:
I know the thread very well. I've already talked to him on Github before this thread here.

And yes, I know that it contradicts his statements but his statements are sometimes extremely strange and / or hard to understand (at least for me).
I only suggested it to him because he mentioned multibit now and his story fits in this case, if you restore a BIP39 Seed on electrum and set the wrong Derivation Path you get exactly what he said, No Balanca, No History etc..

The chance is slim but it is a chance. stay relaxed Grin

Now you History, Balance etc. should be displayed correctly.

BTCRecover extract the "mkey" or "hash" as you call it.
https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/docs/Extract_Scripts.md#usage-for-bitcoin-unlimitedclassicxtcore

Works for Hashcat and JTR:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/bleeding-jumbo/run/bitcoin2john.py

but anyway

How strong is my password? Not very. With my limited memory, 7-8 characters with two numbers in it?

Crack it yourself, you do not need a high-end computer, if it does not work, extract the hash with bitcoin2john.py and send it to me, if the password is really just 7-8 chars, i crack it for free.  Wink

How strong is your password? Or how strong are your passwords usually? how long? Do you have any idea what the password can be?

Which script did you use to extract the "hash"? BTCRecover, Hashcat or John?

You are welcome, the whole story doesn't looks strange to me, it looks exactly like a scam attempt.
You are just too blind to see.

What did you accomplish by sending that email? Let me tell you, nothing at all.
TS is the one behind that email and playing you like a fool.

You know what, what about you bet with me?
A symbolic amount of 0.1BTC, of course we will use a trusted escrow for that.

If TS can't provide a signed message from his address 13Lo5aZDZuEm4qVF478KfWJUvi9JCDngAx within 3 months time, I win.
Otherwise you win.

I do not care what you think, I never defended the TS. Your allegations against him are not my problem.

And now I'll explain it in detail because you are too blind to see it.

Thanks for the accusation but next time let it be if you have no proof and only suspect because.. because of what?

Either Near28 is you alt-account....

This is exactly what caught my attention to investigate.

Either Near28 is you alt-account or you are actually the guy behind the proton email-address replying him.
You trying so hard to act like you are the victim backfired.

Good luck with your scamming.

Thanks for the accusation but next time let it be if you have no proof and only suspect because.. because of what?
If you had read the whole thread, you would have seen that the whole story looks strange to me as well - That's why I sent an email to the operator of the onion site - to see how he reacts.

However, I can not help the TS - So I stay away from the thread before the next "investigator" comes and suspects me for no reason.

Hi Near28,

Quick question, is this tutorial published anywhere else?  It'd be good to have on a Wiki or somewhere.

Best regards,
Ben

hey,

No, I wrote it for the TS. feel free to use it  Wink

Everyone can create a "Satoshibox" - It does not have to be the TS.

But it is suspicious, he post an email and never reply in this thread.

Lets just see what happens now , but I am 100% not paying ! If I lose 10.5 BTC its not the end of the world. Even tho just 10K is alot of money to me. People need to learn that BTC crime wont pay.

You are in a really shitty situation, I do not know how I would react. as I have already told you: I also talked to them and I do not think that's scam.
I also offered to send him 0.35BTC (Of course I would not have sent it to him, I just wanted to see how he reacted) but he refused with the same explanation he give you, everything is automated.
No idea, if all was fraud, he would have safely accepted the 0.35BTC.

I hope for you that you still find someone who can crack that - but unfortunately I see little to no chance.

You should provide a file that is not allready cracked and downloadable for each one on the .onion site.
Each dork can download the decrypted .png file (http://igza4c6icqzboodb.onion/tmpdwn/Q7Lh4Rqr.png.iGZa4C.decrypt) and claim he has cracked it.

just my 2 cents.

hey i think i might be able to help you out, shoot me a PM or drop your mail so i can send you a message. donovanrpalmer@gmail.com

You can post your suggestions here.

@player2

if you know approximately what the password is, you can use BTCRecover (https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover) and crack the password by yourself.

Never send your Wallet.dat to other people

My guess is that the malware created a self-signed certificate in the certificate store then used the public key to encrypt the content of files in the background.

The public key is written in every file (It is the Unique-ID). The Scammer will send him the Master-Key + the Software that reverse the encryption. The chance to Crack/Brutforce what ever is is almost zero

I AM NOT BEGGING FOR MONEY ! I am offering to give wallet and password to trusted member to try sort this out. ( just 1 option )
Calm down, eternalgloom is not wrong, caution is always required. Nobody can check if the wallet is real or fake, it is fully encrypted so nobody can verify it.

Honestly, I do not think it's easy to crack, the encryption and everything around it (the site etc) looks solid, it does not look like amateurs.
No idea how you got that on your pc, apparently it was never really in circulation otherwise we would have heard of it already.

Thank you I have submitted files to them. Hoping they can help. I also have 3 other decryption sites on the go. Offering 5-7K for anyone who can do it.
That's probably the most realistic chance you have.

The whole thing is pretty confused.

I tried to decrypt your private key with known master keys, but unfortunately no success.
All persons I know have never heard of it or of the Nazi story...

I'm running out of ideas, the page actually seems to be fully automatic and someone pays the server bills... So it's up to you to pay or not or try to get in touch with this guys.
