How do I get access to that wallet? How will it let me? I have no password, no security questions, no nothing. Searched everywhere.

holy shit bro you finna made it that's litty af
Search deeper, everyone has his recovery phrase somewhere. (pay extra care of the wishes he had for his funeral, like wearing special clothes with hidden pockets!)
lmao just search for passwords memorized in his computer or smartphone, it's probably there
That is a good idea, thanks. Though I did that already. Not in depth though.
some people also tend to write it down on paper, so you might look into his notepads, books, etc.
He already got incinerated. But his will was really simple... there were no wishes about his funeral or anything that would give a clue regarding this... other that he wanted to be burned. I'm asking myself he had forgotten about his btc over the years.
Right! I've been doing all that meticulously. No success.
Is there some way, since I am his legal successor, to have someone allow or grant me access by court order or in any legal way?
How do you think that would work? MEW does not store and manage your crypto for you - if you do not have a private key or some other way to access the wallet, you’re not getting in. MEW does not store your key and would not be able to access your wallet. There’s nothing the court can do about that.
It's a plot to have you kys for lack of keys. How much transferred to the wallet?
Not even the company that makes this software?
2000.14 BTC
can mew hold btc?
its literally an ether wallet
Apparently it can
anyway - you are looking for a long password like a private key,
OR
a seed phrase of 12 to 24 words
so if you see some words printed out in a notebook for no rhyme or reason, slow down and try to reconstruct MEW with them
actually you can't
i just looked it up
were the coins sent to an address? It just said MEW?
apply to have his accounting/internet/cell history sent to you as a digital transcript.
collect all electronic accounts and devices
search index any related terms
Yes you can.
kb.myetherwallet.com
No, it says the actually address it was sent to, and that is a mew address
well look up the god damn address on a block explorer and since if the damn coins are there anyway
Bam. That's an idea. Thank you user.
alright user, this is going to be painful and slow for you, so start from the basement, all the way to the front door.
look at every single thing individually for as long as you can, make sure you are clear minded at every moment you are looking at something. if you aren't clear minded or can't fully focus on something, come back later when you are. make a pile of things that you have already fully looked through. this includes fully and consciously looking through every file on every device your uncle has.
a password for a crypto wallet will look either like a string of letters, numbers, and symbols with no spaces or a string of completely random words with spaces

Shalom, was your uncle, Uncle Moshe by any chance? I think I know him from my local synagogue, sorry to hear he passed
just because you cant find something the first time doesnt mean it isnt there.
Refine all possible key/wallet terms.
seed/mnemonic/restore etc
it may be worth a percentage share with a recovery expert and a bulletproof contract/audit
>another 2k BTC gone forever
Bullish
this also includes checking email services, social media account messages, everything
I say all this because it's not beyond someone to be sneaky or completely retarded about things
occasionally I send alt accounts my unimportant passwords through messages
occasionally I use email accounts to use the draft feature to store information, or send other email accounts of mine information
sometimes I write passwords in a conscript I made to hide information, sometimes I write information on my mattress or wall, sometimes I take images of certain objects in a series to cryptically hide information, sometimes I put information in text files on random devices, sometimes I use usb dongles specifically to put specific information on and never label them
I do not put it beyond other people, especially hiding money, to do the same things. unfortunately, I do this just to larp like a spy.
What does 2) mean?
Checkra1n, give you access with a nice root shell, if phone is unlocked also the keychain/keybag is decrypted (you can dump it), dump the container document folder of new, there will be a db or something like that
Once you have the db and keychain content you are done
No. He was just a constantly drunk old unhappy man.
You should probably learn how to do extensive background checks/hire a PI to find accounts you may miss.
> it may be worth a percentage share with a recovery expert and a bulletproof contract/audit
So there is such a way?
yeah but most of them are scammers.
hence the need for a contract and audit.
There are recovery services tied to very large companies, but i assume everythings a scam.
You cannot allow someone control over any of this information. If someone gets it from you there is no recovery.
Found it. It's in your uncles urn.
nothing, it's gibberish, an example password of what your uncles wallet password may or may not look like
It means his password could be a random combination of words that look like some drunk rambling. Instead of being random characters like in the first one, it can be random words which would be easier to remember.
find the date of the screenshot for a datapoint to start from. it may help to refine the searches btw.
Did he have a computer?
OP if you have access to any of his devices, I suggest you recover every deleted data. You need some software for this. When data gets deleted, it's not actually deleted, the space is just made "available" and once you overwrite that space, the data is gone. So before you do anything, try to recover all the deleted data. He might have written it down to some txt file and then later deleted it(even removing from bin doesn't delete it).
