>I still have the same computer

>>25639165
hire an expert and promise them 10% if they can rescue the corns

>>25639191
I’ve changed some parts obviously but the HDD’s and SSD is the same

>>25639165
Hire someone to do computer forensics. I know cops who do this shit all day long.

>>25639165
I’m sorry anon so very sorry

>>25639165
Hire a forensic data recovery specialist you fucking idiot. Stop using that computer immediately.

>>25639211
But those ”experts” all seem like shady scammers that would completely fuck me over and steal my shit, if I could get meet up with one irl I’d feel safer because I’d just strangle them to death if they scammed me but I doubt there’s any of those experts in my europoor shithole

There are companies who can help you recover files even if you've formatted the drive once or twice. Formatting doesn't destroy the files, overwriting (multiple times) does. Your bitcoin wallet file containing your private key might still be alive and well.

Don't tell the company that you're looking for your private BTC key though.

>>25639165
Lel. I was so stupid to forget the password for my BTC wallet. To this day don't remember it. But fucking hell, not backing up the wallet... Welp, maybe you can use a forensic service. or maybe just start with one of those restoring tools. but yeah, if it's a hard drive and you overwrote it multiple times there's a good chance it's gone.

>>25639165
You dun goofed, niggafloyyd.

>>25639279
How do I get in touch with these companies?

>>25639260
uh yeah no shit in person. nobody is gonna save your shit over the internet bro.

Fool me once, ...

>>25639341
I’ve used a harddrive scanning software already and it didn’t find anything, i dont know what to do from here. Maybe there’s some IT forensics company that can help but idk how to find one in sweden

>>25639165
It's only millions theoretically
If you had access to them, you would have sell, lost day trading or buy a pizza already. Nothing to fell too bad about it.

>>25639462
Have you tried googling “data recovery forensics company (your city)”?

>>25639550
Probably not actually, in 2011 i was 12 years old and knowing myself I’d most likely just keep it until I actually needed the money when I was done with school

>>25639165
you can recover the files. easier on a mechanical drive. i once recovered a lost txt file containing my btc recovery phrase.

download a GetDataBack torrent and pray

>>25639462
>I don't know how to find one in Sweden

You don't deserve the money at all

I’m also from sweden, don’t know anything about data recovery though:/

The only chance you have right now is to turn off the computer right now and never use the HDD's again (because it may not yet be overwritten) until you have exhausted all measures of recovering it.

>>25639669
Well ok I know how to find one but I’m not sure I can trust them, what if they take my bitcoins and tell me they didnt find anything?

>>25639777
This. I'd boot linux from a pendrive, and then use some recovering software to check if you can find it. Alternatively, if you had the wallet, there's means of reconstructing it by using the phrase.

>>25639781
You lose your coins either way so it's either be a pussy and lose all your coins 100% or just hire a professional

>>25639777
>>25639817
I used bitcoin core and from my understanding I only need to find the wallet.dat file. The problem tho is that I’ve used this computer daily since 2011, what’s the chance that the files aren’t overwritten?

>>25639965
Ask a professional.

>>25640011
I will, but my boomer dad who works in IT says there’s no use since he thinks everything is overwritten, idk he might just not want to get mogged financially if i find my bitcoins

>>25640047
Chances are low. but they are more than 0.

>>25640047
It's really hard to actually delete anything.
To actually wipe something you record 0's over it many, many, many times.
You might have a shot, but will need a professional.
Yes you risk them stealing your keys, but you've clearly got no idea how to get it anyway.
But that is why you go to a proper company, that you can visit, that has a reputation on the line.
I guess you don't know your public address so you can't monitor the wallet?

>>25639165

So your'e telling me finding a file is harder than recovering SSD, HDD (which is actually easy af). Youre clearly looking for attention retard, go back to plebbit and ask for upvotes.

>>25640162
OP here, just posting from another device.
>I guess you don't know your public address so you can't monitor the wallet?
No I don't sadly. All I know is that I used bitcoin core to mine and left it all on that program.

>>25639607
haha, you just fucking outed yourself as a fucking attention whore hahahaha.

>>25639286
>forget the password
Unironically hire a hypnotherapist

>>25639286
I cracked my mate's MultiBitHD wallet. He had forgotten the password and it had about 0.2BTC in it a few years ago. I wrote a small cracker, the password was 'pass'.

>>25639165
Same friend. Mine got scrapped in about 2015. Its over. Move on.

>>25640300
A password I have used ONCE!? 8 years ago... Also it's still a negligible amount of BTC.

>>25640180
??? I’ve used data recovery software with no luck, you go back to plebbit you disgusting nigger im just looking for advice

>>25639607
Knowing yourself you'd just forget about it and wipe the hard disk where your wallet is on lmao

why didn't people just keep their old btc wallets or just stick them in a separate drive? it wouldn't seem that hard to keep transferring whenever you upgrade.

>>25640414
they used to be worth less than a can of coke

if you lost them, you lost them

>>25640355
>Racist /pol/tard loses bitcoin
>trump loses election

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm black and I own 200 Bitcoin. Holy shit, I love this timeline.

OP try Piriform Recuva and pray.

send some cheeze to uganda guys

>image full disk to drive that you know doesn't have the keys so you don't potentially overwrite them

>2 weeks later, give when you turn up nothing, kknowing for good that you're an poorfag

>>25639240
imagine thinking they won't just take the Bitcoin for themselves.

>>25640373
fucking rekt

>>25640414
We didnt think they would be important. I remember literally making a conscious decision to scrap it "maybe those bitcoins will be worth a lot in future anon"; "maybe..probably not though I can't be bothered to go buy an external drive lets just trash this thing now and we'll mine some more later".

>>25641467
i would sit next to that faggot and watch his every move
