Title: How can you recover lost rich wallets?
Post by: 1BMoney on March 10, 2024, 12:45:57 PM
I read somewhere that it is possible to restore your own and even other people’s Bitcoin wallets. There is special software. One guy showed how, using a special “hayakabtcrack” program, he recovered a wallet that had 31.5 btc, but I just can’t find this program. Maybe someone has it?

I don't think that it is possible to recover a wallet without the private keys, or the seed phrase, because without any of those two that I mentioned, it will be impossible, and this is why we have locked bitcoin, and not lost bitcoin. Are you sure that what you read is for real, can you drop the link so that we can read, and contribute based on that article.

It is possible to restore your own Bitcoin wallet as long as you have the information such as private keys. However, if it is other people's Bitcoin wallet, there is no way you can do that if you don't have the private key. If there is a tool the same as you mentioned that is currently existing, there should be a lot of cases where a lot of users have lost their wallets without being exposed.

That is nonsense, if your coins gets stolen or you lose the seed phrase and have no access to the wallet file, then the funds is lost and there is no way to recover it. The only way to recover your wallet is through the seed phrase and any website or person who tells you that they can help you recover it is a scammer, any money you send to them is gone.

@1BMoney, as @Sim_card said in response to your post, the ways to recover your Bitcoin wallet are through a seed phrase, private keys and also through the wallet.dat file. Regarding the program you mention, "hayakabtcrack", it is probably a trojan or a keylogger, created to be installed by less experienced users who believe what they read without thinking, but others can steal cryptocurrency in seconds, once said program is installed.

Think that if such software existed, all the Bitcoins in circulation would be stolen again and again. It's crazy. Don't believe in magic formulas, they don't exist. They are just traps created to rob those who don't stop to think about what they are doing.

LOL if it can be recovered then there are many wallets that will lose their Bitcoin.
Anyway, you didn't mention where you got the news.
Intend to recover the lost wallet seed phrase but finally your device is hacked.

Even supercomputers take decades to hack, but that's still uncertain.
Moreover, only using Apps that are not clear who the developer is and there is no valid evidence, That's just nonsense.

First of all, i tried searching "hayakabtcrack" on few search engine, but none of them show relevant webpage. While there are few legit recovery software, usually it require either wallet file (where you brute force the password), part of seed/recovery words or part of the private key. If you find software which claim can recover Bitcoin without any of those, then it's scam.

If this service could recover Bitcoin that has not moved since 2010, its owner would be rich, or it could be used to obtain Satoshi’s address and prove that Bitcoin is a failed decentralized system, as its basis is that without the need for a third party, you can trust that your money is safe as long as you are the only one who knows the private key. .

Anyone who tells you about such services is a scammer.

This topic sounds a little dangerous, because it concerns security too. There are a lot of things I don't know about the world of hacking, that's why up to now what I know is, to get a bitcoin wallet that suits our wishes, there is no other way than using tools like brute force. And as for the private key from the Bitcoin wallet... 256 bits is of course very difficult to brute force. It would even take up to 100 years.

However, looking at several existing hacking cases, I am a little confused about other methods that fraudsters might use to get the BTC wallet they want to hack. It could also be that it takes advantage of user negligence, so sometimes hackers don't even need tools.

That "hacking method" is probably shared through some private groups on social networks, and that's why you can't find it online. The goal of those who promote it is to first convince someone that the method works, and then to sell that software that will infect the victim's computer, and in addition to making extra money by selling some fake wallet that contains a lot of BTC.

Just like that, it is possible to save a wallet that is locked with a password or find a missing part of a seed word, but it all depends on how complicated the "problem" is, or whether someone is technically savvy enough to try something like that.

Of course, there is also a legitimate service that has a reputation for such things, so although I won't name it, you certainly know who am I talking about.

Don't let anyone deceive you and take away your money more from you, no one can help with a wallet recovery except they have access to the private keys to such wallet, if not they are only deceiving you, they cant do anything to recover the wallet fund back, this is way it is important that we have access to our wallet keys and find a secured means of keeping them with an extra backup to them.

Bitcoin's private key is far more secure than that. Without Quantum Computer, some expert speculate you won't finish brute force after sun die.

The private key is just a number. You just have to guess it.

Take a look

Your wallet is secured by the laws of the universe.

It is possible, but you can't brute force such a big number.
Title: Re: How can you recover lost rich wallets?
Post by: Lucius on March 12, 2024, 05:07:13 PM
@bitmover, it is never too much to repeat such things, because when it comes to the security of the cryptography that is behind Bitcoin, many unfortunately live in a great delusion. This especially comes to the fore when it comes to seed words, because why would it be difficult to guess 12 words of someone's seed, and that only in a combination of 2048 words?

Given that we know that the 12 word seed has approximately or the same strength as the private key, then we can be sure that someone will not hack us by brute force. Of course, all this makes sense if the backup is saved in a safe place.

Let me be frank with you. Any person that tell you that your wallet can be recover is a scammer, we have many of them parading crypto YouTube channels with fake testimonies accounts operated by the same person, if you go to Twitter we have many of them that loves to give testimony there including investment testimonies, you will only get scam when you want to recover lost wallet.

The only way you can recover a wallet is if you have the wallet seed phrase or mnemonic seed or recovery phrase which are between 12 words and 24 words. Or if you have the private keys, that's the only way you can recover a loss wallet. In some instances, pc software wallets do have is called wallet.dat file for recovery of wallet.

If this post is real, not only will the lost wallet be retrieved, but also the unlost wallet. But it's great I learned more about Bitcoin, specifically how to protect what you have invested. So this program is most likely a scam, and newcomers may believe it if they hear it. But, for all the newcomers out there, especially those who have lost funds and are attempting to recover their wallet, I guarantee you that the only way to recover your wallet is to figure out where you kept your key.

~snip~

Most of them are scammers and there is no doubt about that, but there is one service that has built a good reputation over the years and that has helped many people get access to their wallets. Of course, they are not magicians either and their service has a price, but it is unfair to say that all those who offer such services are scammers.

Here is their link on the BTT forum -> Bitcoin Wallet Recovery Services - for forgotten wallet password (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.0)

I'm starting to think, after the days that have passed since @1BMoney created this thread, that all of this was nothing more than SEO spam. The OP hasn't entered the forum for days to continue the conversation, after all the responses he has, that's where my doubts come from. The program he mentions does not exist, or I cannot find it, nor any documentation. I also think the thread title doesn't make sense, who (I mean someone external) can tell if a wallet is lost or if its owner just hold his coins. I don't know what to think about this...

Either rich or poor wallet, if you don't have access to the private keys it cannot be recovered, same also applies to the fact if you make a transaction on a wrong address, such is irreversible and irrecoverable, you have to understand and know all these as pertaining cryptocurrency, this blockchain technology is something totally different from the fiat local transactions we often make with banks, and if we see some people who are claiming they can help with recovery on such, we should desist from them because such is not true or possible with crypto.

I think your suspicion is reasonable. I've seen similar posts on other forums that are very similar to this one. Newbie suddenly ask some random websites or programs that nobody heard before, and no search engine can find it either. The best course of action is probably to lock this topic until further notice, at the very least until OP wakes up and starts posting again. If he doesn't do that, safe to say he's just spamming this likely scam app to trick newbies who lost access to their wallets.

If I understand the op well, someone has lost his login details plus the seed phrase and someone told or shown him that there is a software that can be used to recover the lost coins. Well they have answered the question and only made small research on the software you provided and I noticed that it is not even existing in the internet. Therefore the person who told you about the software was a scammer. So please steer clear from the guy before he scam you. Look at the information I got from the research.

Generally, wallets that can be opened by private keys are easy to hack. But the strong Electrum wallet I use is made up of pretty strong passwords. So I don't know which wallet can be hacked and with what apps. So OP if you are so scared then you should use more powerful wallets many known as hardware wallets.

My best guess on who has or where you could find such program is the person who told you this could be possible.

Seriously, you don’t get to restore or crack a wallet without having some real details of that wallet yourself. Either as the owner or haven’t been given this piece of information which includes, the public address and possibly if the wallet is custodian, you seek help from support, maybe brute force it for password and maybe have a go at it from linked emails. Or should it be none custodian, you could as well brute force for password on your hard device or hard drive having this wallet, should you have missed just a few words from your seed phrases, you try a few guesses, maybe use some programs else,
You ain’t going no where with wallet restoration.
Your best option still remains that you keep your private key and seed phrases safe and private.

Should wallet restoration be some ease to access or archive thing, you would find so many investors investing in crypto. You don’t want your money to be where it could disappear all of a sudden.

Try to keep the important information of your wallet in a safe place without keeping the idea that you can recover your lost wallet. Recovering a lost wallet is very difficult and most of the time it is seen that even after many attempts it is not possible to recover one's lost wallet. The personal information of the wallet should be stored in several places so that even after a few years we can login to our wallet. I have watched many videos related to this on YouTube but I have never succeeded in recovering my lost wallet so I save my wallet personal information from now on without worrying about how to recover it later.

I just can't find any other explanation. A user registers, creates a thread talking about miraculous software that does not exist and does not reconnect to the forum to tell what happened. Perhaps the OP's mistake is not knowing that this software was not going to appear in any search engine, nor on the dark net, which is where this type of software is most talked about. Yesterday I thought about lock this thread as you suggest, but I decided to leave it for a few more days, to see if the OP connects to the forum and says something. Anyway, if everything stays the same in a few days I will do it.

Threads like this will keep repeating and being posted by new OPs.
Those who make posts like this are too delusional to hack a rich wallet that can't be opened.
In fact, it has become a wealth that has been buried and cannot be opened anymore.

The software that is said to be able to restore lost wallets is just trap software that will infect foolish users' devices.

The OP doesn't seem to be present and left this thread dormant without any explanation, it's better to just lock it.

This thread was created by the OP on the 10th, and after seeing the users' posts he has not said anything else even though he connected to the forum only two days ago. I think that after a week he has had enough time to ask or respond to the questions that have been asked. Which increases the suspicions I said a few days ago.

This thread will remain locked, if the OP wants to open it (which I doubt) send me a PM.

Thank you all for your responses.
