Title: Please help!
Post by: ralphlauren55 on November 17, 2013, 08:27:50 PM
I was mining about 2 years ago with the deepbit pool. I just logged onto the pool and sent a payment to the wallet that was in the deepbit pool payment section. I assumed it was my wallet and now I can't access the wallet. I have used bitcoin QT and the wallet id it has is different from the wallet I sent the coins to. My question is whose wallet did I send the coins to then?

Here's the address I sent them to:

1G5e3QnbMpzP21qDEJYu1DNMBu9bSPDFB6

I think it was ~1.3 bitcoins that were sent.

If the bitcoin QT is up to date and has a different wallet id in it than the one I posted above does this mean my wallet.dat is for a different wallet and I sent it to someone elses? Thanks.

https://blockchain.info/address/1G5e3QnbMpzP21qDEJYu1DNMBu9bSPDFB6


1.29 btc in there.


If you don't have the private key, you don't own the coins.

How can I check if I own the private key? If I don't own the key who does? Whose wallet is that then that was in the payment section of my deepbit account then?

I have no idea who has it, but I assume someone else, or more likely noone. And the coins are lost forever.

Where did you find that address?

Sorry bro they are lost, if your QT id is different to that one, there is no way you are getting them back I'm afraid.

Are you still using the same computer you were using 2 years ago? Is it possible you upgraded computers and did not copy over your wallet.dat file IF you installed QT on a different computer. If it is the case try and find an old copy of your wallet.dat file I'm sure you can figure the rest out from there ;)

If you don't have your original wallet file or backup, then your fund is lost forever and no one can help you recover it.
