Yes I do, I wish I actually mined back then though

Finally a trustworthy coin!

Heh, five of those are mine.

So, a year+ ago, I reformated my computer and the one thing I forgot to backup was my bitcoins. After I reinstalled windows I remembered "MY BITCOINS!". I held power and turned my comp off, booted into a separate hard drive, and used a recovery program (recuva) to get the wallet.dat file.

But of course, when I ran bitcoin with the recovered wallet, it failed instantly on startup. "wallet corrupt - salvage failed"

Here's what happens with pywallet:
Here's what happens with bitcointools:

Bitcoin is not running - I just restarted my computer.

I am offering a bounty to anyone who can help me recover these.

Thanks in advance.

Just curious... How much was it?

You can use Recuva to get back old files but the chances of recovering after a year long format are nil.

Hah, cool, got it to all 6 but I have no ltc. Time to mine..... after the blockchain finishes

Hello!

I'm pretty sure it's that more buyers are driving the price of bitcoin up, not the dollar getting cheaper (though it is). There's really high volume being traded so I think there's people playing the market. It's had a few dives today and it always rebounds back with lots of small transactions and idk. Shit's weird.

If you make the transaction fee 0, it can take days to get verified. What's the incentive to do something for free when other people are paying a higher fee?

I have 5 btc in a corrupt wallet, and I spent another 5 btc later, and I missed buying litecoins when they were $0.50. Not too angry about the litecoins but I really want those corrupted coins back.

And of course, hindsight is 20/20. Knowing what we know now, who the hell wouldn't buy a lot of bitcoins if they could have?

This is the primary reason I always make a .txt of my passwords for uncommon things. I don't even show the full password sometimes, I only show what's changed or something.
