There are many wallets which have 50-1000 Bitcoins. These wallets are created in 2009-2011 which seed phrases are forgotton.
Back then, people used to put seed phrase with 8 characters or 6 words.
This wallet.dat files are created via Bitcoin Core (aka Satoshi Client) which was the first wallet app.
There are some wallet.dat files which are being sold on internet however most of them are corrupted with programs. So never buy them!!!
For instance, pictures I added. If you could pass the seedphrase 50 BTC would be yours. However its not quite possible if password is longer than 13-14 characters or more than 6 words. (and if you don’t have multiple strong gpus)
These wallets are encrypted and only correct password can decrypt them. Until now, we saw some wallets from old times are cracked by hackers and emptied.
Soon, bitcoin core will stop supporting to add wallet files from old era, because many people trying to crack these wallets.
- Don’t forget and keep in mind that its illegal and unethical to crack hash of someone else’s wallets
- Always put a strong password for your cold wallets, 24 words if possible !
- I heard many people who got scammed while buying this wallets for 50$ which are actually corrupted and even if you find the correct password it doesn’t decrypt the wallet
