Hi everyone,
Back in 2014, I bough some BTC, and stored it in a Bitcoin Core wallet. When looking at my email history, I found a Blockchain.info email with my wallet backup.
In this email, I have the following file: wallet.aes.json and my wallet ID.
The issue is that I don't remember my password, and my private key.
Also, the computer on which I had the wallet has been reset, but I managed to access to a previous version thanks to Time Machine. However, when I open Bitcoin Core (already installed), it's not the same BTC address, and there's no fund on it.
Is it possible to recover my wallet with the following?
- Wallet.aes.json file
- Wallet ID
- Bitcoin Address
- The computer on which I had the Bitcoin Core wallet
I did some research and the password seem to be required to decrypt the wallet.aes.json file. But maybe it can be worth paying a hacker for that? I would like to know if it's at least possible to recover the funds one way or another.
Thanks!
