Title: Help needed Post by: bitcoin9096 on November 18, 2013, 06:41:51 AM About 7 months ago I started using bitcoins,I was a newbie at that time I didn't created a backup of my wallet.I just use chrome broswer then i open blockchain.info then with the help of identifier and password i logged into it.just after using 3-4 days my hdd crashed with about 1.8 bitcoins in it.
At that time i tried myself but didn't succesfull but seeing the price now i want to try again with help of other peoples.i can see files using Hard Disk Data Recovery Software when i connect to my laptop but if i want to use it directly its a total waste so what i need to copy from there as something must be saved in chrome folder so that identifier comes up everytime and i just need to enter my password to view and use my wallet.any help will be appreciated.

Start with that and see what happens, you have to rely on trial & error.

I use blockchain and Whenever i create an address or delete one, i get the wallet backup to my email. If you have an account with blockchain, am sure you should have given a email address. If you forgot your identifier, then try to login from your new laptop and it will email a unique link with your identifier. Try if you can gain access in that way.

Am also in the same boat mate.! I Offloaded a few as soon as it hit 300.. Part of it was of my customers assets which i manage. The more painful thing is, if this price increase was over the period of 6 months, then it would have not bothered me. But instead it is over a period of 1 week. Infact i received the USD transfer from the sale just 2 days ago when it was 500.

If i knew china would be investing so heavily i would not have sold, could have earned profit to have my self retired, but instead i was left with holding my D**k . Argggg....... And now there is a dam coin shortage . Title: Re: Help needed Post by: Amitabh S on November 19, 2013, 03:58:59 AM OP, it is not clear how your wallet was stored. If you want help, you need to explain the problem clearly:
You used blockchain.info.. Right? It does not store wallet locally (except in the cache). The wallet is stored in a db at the server. So I don't see how a disk crash could cause this. So all you need is the wallet identifier and password. The identifier is used to find which wallet to open. Did you lose your identifier as well? If so, did you have an email attached with your wallet? If you don't have it, the you need to look at the browser cache to see if the wallet is there. Do not use the computer for anything, and post this in the "Technical support" forum. Someone there will be able to help you.

Am still trying to figure out how disk crash would affect a blockchain.info wallet. You might loose the client side encryption if you were using browser extension. But i think you should still be able to access your wallet through web. Isn't it.?

But what i suspect is that he may have used a disposable email address and never bothered to back up the email. Now that the identifier is lost he cant retrieve any emails from a disposable email address and now it just impossible to get it back |
