Title: Bitcoin wallet id numbers
Post by: adairk on August 02, 2018, 09:34:05 PM
Hi,
   Does anyone recognize bitcoin wallet ID numbers that resemble 3ag3 e7t4 7y3j d8l2.......? You see the code is split into sections of four charachters. If so could they please suggest bitcoin company that uses numbers similar to that?
I was paid a $300.00 affiliate payment but unfortunately have lost the information of what Bitcoin company I used and being a complete idiot dummy.

   A complete shot in the dark but have been trying dozens of Bitcoin companies over the last several days to see if I had a login there but no luck.

Thank you and all the best,
Ken

I suppose that when you say wallet ID you are actually thinking about wallet address and thus for ease of use it is divided for you into sections so that you can read it well. Unfortunately if this was in your possession and you don't remember an exchange or wallet that you used, or if you haven't made any backups I don't think you can recover it.

Other than that if it is some identifier for specific online platform that is built in within their system I can't help you there sadly. As characters as yo wrote above doesn't mean much to me. Best you can try is go look at you email and look to which services you have registered in the past. At least learn to keep track of accounts that you have online for the future :/

When you say bitcoin "wallet id" I assume you mean wallet address right?

Wallet addresses(at least as of now) just start with:
  • 1xxxxxx
  • 3xxxxxx
  • bc1qxxx

and nothing else.

I'm afraid it's quite not possible to find out what wallet service you were using just by looking at the address. Did you use a web wallet or a software wallet? I suggest taking a look at your browser history to find out what web wallet you used or what software wallet you downloaded.

I think this is some sort of wallet identifier which is/can be unique for that site. Just like blockchain.com has.

@OP How long ago was this? 6 months, a year, 2 years? I think that blockchain.info(.com) might have used these 4444-4444-1111-2222 formats for email verification a long time ago.

Thank you all for looking at this and even though we couldn't come up with the $300.00 answer I appreciate you all trying.

Best regards,
Ken

Bitcoin addresses generally look like 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2 or 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy (multisig) or bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq (segwit).

Blockchain.info had a similar login URL to "3ag3 e7t4 7y3j d8l2". You need the exact URL, your password and possibly your email address to login. Maybe you saved a backup of your private keys?

Search all your email accounts for bitcoin-related emails or contact the affiliate system who paid you. Check any text files or backups for bitcoin-related URLs, wallet logins or addresses.

Edit: I checked blockchain.info.
The previous URL was: https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/login/xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx <- your wallet ID
Now you can login here with the same wallet ID:
https://login.blockchain.com/#/login
