send it to me i'll fix it

no point, bruteforce attack would take you like 2000 years before you could steal my coins

did you try 'guest' ?

If you could narrow it down in any way, you could cut that brute force time down significantly

it was long password

>forgot
like it was a password you just memorized and now can't remember?

i know words, that i ussualy combine to create password...but no luck when trying to guess combination

>Spend $40,000
>Don't even bother writing down the password anywhere

Are you legit retarded?

i did it for security

your subconscious wants you to be poor.

lastpass is free, you know

natural selection, stay poor

lol bro, for that reason I always use the same passwords for everything. I have about 5-6 different passwords that I use for all stuff. You shouldnt pick one that is hard to remember for something that is so unlikely to be hacked. (your local hard drive)

KEK!

Stay poor forever you faggot, 40,000$ is nothing you easily could save it on Uphold, actived 2F4 and enjoy your 30000$ gainz but you're a stupid man and you'll die poor faggot

I feel sorry for op and am willing to send .1 btc in exchange for one small favor

There's people on /r/bitcoin that regularly solve this kind of thing. If you mostly remember your password then you can pay them to bruteforce the rest for you. You can even do it in a way that they can't access the money. The wallet.dat file has a part of it that is just a hash of the password you used, but doesn't contain any data about your private keys. You can send that to someone to bruteforce for you. There's no risk that they can steal your money.

All I can think of is force your subconscious to relay it through a hypnosis session.

No guarantees that'd work, but it'd make your situation even more hilarious if it didn't.

Help a poor faggot here too
0.1 would mean so much to me pls

was just gonna post something similar. Meditate. Learn to tune in to your subconscious mind.

Everything you've ever experienced is hidden somewhere in your memories. You already have an idea, and it wasnt too long ago relatively. Figure that shit out, Its 70k

I once forgot a complex password to an encrypted Truecrypt volume. Repeatedly trying to guess what I could have used didn't work. One day I just got it on the first try. Try to decrypt it once in a while hoping muscle memory will kick in. Arrange the virtual and physical environment to be as close to what it was when you could remember the password.

If all fails, try guessing while on the influence of various drugs. Dissociatives like ketamine, methoxetamine or 3-MeO-PCP can sometimes unlock long-forgotten regions of our brains.

Nice LARP. 5 months. June july august september, you're from the future! Just bought 100k

Use drugs OP

The thing is complex passwords are not more secure. Longer is better and easier to remember. You don't need numbers, you don't need symbols. You just have to have a long password. Longer the better. My password is a paragraph long. Kind of annoying to type it out but worth it. It will never be brute forced.

Iusethispasswordtosavingmymuniesonthatshittypcbutidontrememberthepasswordletmeeasktobiz

Try it OP!

do you own a sharpie

Okay sir... Sorry for disturbing...

sent ;)

take a pic of a sharpie in your butthole with time stamp and i will send 70 mtl coin or .1 btc

Thanks you Sir! Just received it!
Hope you have a good day Sir!

I feel for you. I make retarded passwords I think I will remember in the monent. No shit I was setting a MEW wallet for a ICO. The company had a dude from Taiwan..in that moment I thought ok, pw will be padthai_chicken_2020...because I saw a dude from Taiwan. Holy shit. I liked to never figure that out and tried 100 times.

.88931
Thanks for the offer but I don't think I can do it. Anyway hope you sir have a nice day and all the coin you hodl skyrocket to mooooooon soon!

DUDE IF YOU'RE THAT BOTHERED PUT IN A MOTHERFUCKING ETCHED STONE BURIED IN THE WOODS SOMEWHERE FUCK

>Password not accepted
>Requires 1 special character
>Requires 1 number

OP I lost wallets to my 100ETH so I know the feel. you bounce back don't worry - look ahead and keep investing, it's not too late !
we all going to make it bros

you know that long passwords containing words can be as easily bruteforced using a dictionary attack as a short but random character password you jew cock sucking retard?

thank you for decreasing the total supply of ETH out there and making us ETH hodlers all richer, kind biz charity bro!

I love imagining computer scientists who are all "it's cryptographically secure!" as he buries his password in the middle of the field somewhere.

its 2017, why arent we storing our passwords on the blockchain?

but don't we all die poor? we can't take anything with us senpai

how did you manage that

While you're handing out to poorfags?

you're not about to crack veracrypt family, even if jihan let you use his entire mining farm to do it.

not me, I am rich with the love of God

Happened to me too...if you have some clues on what It could be theres this guy called Bitcoin Dave, he decrypt my eth ico wallet last year (and so like the brainlet that i am i sold. The guy is legit, if he decrypt it he takes 20% which is a lot but still better than losing everything. Theres eaven instructio s in how to send him just part ov the wallet so that he cant access your private key....i just sent him the wallet and day fuck it but the guy was honest....you can see around plebit he has good feedbacks....

OMG, really? Free money?
Can I have some too? :) I'm a poor student
>.

well at least you would leave some sweet gains for your relatives when its bruteforced

Get those sharpies ready you filthy beggars, it's time to earn your bitcoin

you forgot

>password requires at least one upper case character

stop it silly, 100ETH makes as much difference as water drop in ocean
thats the problem is that I didn't managed my backups and stored my fucking private key on ssd drive which cant be recovered.

(ID: LWN16jSa)There you go.

Veracrypt? Brute force attack will be worthless.
Look I forgot my pw once to my btc wallet because it was auto generated. Thought it was lost. Then one day 2 weeks later like a lightning from the sky, I remembered it.
There is still hope

Well its a matter of making a list of all possible combinations and using a script to generate a list of +- 1 char typo, special symbols at the end and beginning of the password (since VeraCrypt requires it), Cap letter at the beginning of the password, cap letter at the beginning of each word of the password. If I had the file and the list of candidates, I think I could do it in about a day or two.

you could literally write it down on a piece of paper next to your computer. bitcoin hackers arent going to find your house and break in and take it. the average black burgler doenst know what a passphrase is gonna be used for.

thats what you get for wanting to sell now of all times. why not last week if you were gonna sell? why now of all times?

At least your coins are securely stashed away kek

>have unique passwords that I use to encrypt my cold storage wallets
>haven't forgot it to this day
Shit got me sweating a little bit when I made a typo though

classic satan

and is this why banks exists, so retards dont have to keep track of their money

i have all my wallets and information encrypted aswell, and backed up on multiple devices, but im using a password manager and i have a written copy in my safe aswell in case it bugs out

The first thing every bruteforce goes for is dictionary words.

In the 1950s, before modern computers, British intelligence had the capacity to search 100 million combinations each second.

Long, randomly placed upper case letters, symbols and numbers. Words only is piss easy to break.

too deep for me

the afterlife is an oligarchic system too
you won't be worth shit there if you're not even rich here

>Hurr durr I dont know how this stuff works

Bruteforcing tests for specific combinations.
It's different your password being banana (bruteforced in less than 1 second) than your password being a poem about bananas (bruteforced in 100 years or more).

Having symbols / numbers help only for very passwords (

That's why you create a unique sentence and not one found on a famous phrases list

>tattoo your private keys
>PHARAONS BTFO

is this cartoon just BS? What if I replace O with zero and A with @?

>local hard drive
>unlikely to be hacked

That already helps out tremendously. Get some bruteforce program or ask a friend to write one for you, and put in all the words that could potentially be in the password and tell the program to check for combinations containing those first.

Did you possibly combine two passwords together?

Do you accept a uniball pen? I don't have any sharpies. Maybe I could do two pens even

Programmer fag here. I could try to decrypt it for a 10% cut.

>> because meanwhile i forgot password
I feel you OP.
The same happened to me once with a SD card full of pretty rare porn.
I just keep it in some drawer, for the time when GNUPG will be broken…

two pens will suffice if you dont have a sharpie, or you can use a spoon

Well it worked lmao nobody will ever get to them

VERY safe good job

>only has 5-6 passwords
classic pajeet

Well they're pretty secure now lolol

The comic is bullshit. A computer could probably crack that in less than an hour. If you do what you said you're good.

security from your self you fucking retard

Out of interest, if a government agency really wanted to brute force a password that contains random letters, numbers and symbols, what kind of time frame are we looking at to crack passwords of 10, 15, 20, etc., characters long? Anyone have an estimate?

Thanks man, now my coins are worth more.
