Important tips: Treat it rationally and don't be fooled
- For entertainment only, don't cheat: This `wallet.dat` file is only for entertainment and pretense.
- Be cautious when buying old wallet files: For novices, it is not recommended that you go to those `dat` trading websites to buy old wallet files. It takes professional knowledge to identify the authenticity, and you may be deceived if you are not careful.
- The reality of cracking passwords: Even if you buy a real wallet file, it is almost impossible to obtain the Bitcoins in it by brute force without any clues to the password. Theoretically, even with a top-level computer, it would take hundreds of billions of years to crack it.
- Beware of scams: There are people on the market who specialize in making fake `dat` files and take advantage of people's greed to make huge profits.
