My sons friend was. . .
. . . I was his best friend. He was going to be my best man at my wedding. . .
Your friend? Or your son's friend? Sounds a bit fishy. My son's best friend. I was like a second father to him. CCG is used by myself and my son. CCG is the name of our company. He passed away and no one was able to access his coins. He gave my Son a paper wallet with a number and private key on it that no one has been able to figure out. He had his coins spread around. His parents have tried to locate any information (missing journal) to be able to get them. No luck. I don't know why people are so fast to judge in a Negative way. We have worked with his family and its sad that he didn't leave something behind that could show his family how to obtain the coins. Oh, well. I know that in my will I will be putting specific information to my family on how to access my coins. |

My sons friend was. He passed away at the age of 19. He was a member on here I think as readyeddy or level10wizard or something like that. He had purchased a few thousand bitcoins when they were valued between .03 cents to .25 cents. Great kid. He will be missed.

A good friend of mine recently past away at the age of 19 and he was heavily involved in the Bitcoin world. He was paranoid of someone taking his efforts so he created an offline wallet to store his bitcoins. The day he was at the hospital he gave me a paper and said this is all you will need to access the coins. He passed away that same day and I have no idea of how to access. We have tried Bitaddress.org without success, but I do remember him talking about cold storage, offline only, etc.. I will Donate 4 Bitcoins BTC to anyone that can help figure out how to access the coins. The string of numbers look like this (example):
#256232658142
K-JKLSAIB521732
This is how it is written down on the paper. He said this is all we would need to access the coins.
Any help is appreciated and with success I will Donate 4 Bitcoins BTC
Thanks,
CCG
This is such a beautiful story! I can clearly see that you and dead friend were close, much closer than he was with his family. That said, please make sure that NONE of the bitcoins ever reach their slimy asses. Also, after the 30 days passes, the bank will be handing over to you, some random guy (but we all know you two were friends). the notebook that currently sits in the safe deposit box, for that's where I would keep it - at a bank. If you haven't figured out the gist of this post, great, for then more may follow. BTW: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45298. I could go into great details of my relationship with him and his family if that would please the masses. We grew up together and by the way the bank is going to allow the Family to access the safety deposit and I am going to help them with everything. I was currently involved in his life as he moved out to go to college. At 19 were you closer to your friends or your family. It sounds like you don't recognize or can help me with this. Thanks for taking time to post. |

mmm... pineapples !  I agree with Pineapples! The family gets about 90% of his coins. I was his best friend. He was going to be my best man at my wedding. What he gave me is only about 10% of what he actually had. I hope when his family gets the chromebook out of the safety deposit box (yes, I am helping with this) that there is some software or something on it that I will be able to figure this out. Thanks |

Could these be coupon redemption codes from one of the exchanges or casinos ?
I don't think he kept anything online. He was paranoid that he would get hacked and lose all his coins. Guess looking at it now, I wish he would of sold them all and enjoyed what time he had left. Anyways he talked cold storage a lot. I will keep digging. Thanks, worth a shot |

I'll be honest with you -- the information you have posted thus far isn't really useful. It's definitely not a public or private key which is normally associated with Bitcoin. A string of numbers like that certainly isn't indicative of any common encryption (BIP38) that is used to encrypt addresses. Is there anything you are leaving out?
EDIT: Something fishy is definitely going on here. OP has a post dated back to March 16 claiming he operates a few Antminers. This guy definitely knows what a paper wallet is and how it works. This whole story seems very bizarre and fabricated. Not sure what his motive is but it's probably some kind of scam.
I'm out
Nothing fishy here at all. I can go over long details of how we got involved in the Bitcoin world because of my friend that past. He had bought Bitcoin when they were around $3. He was paranoid of storing them online because he was involved in some dark web stuff. Why bore you with all the details of how all of this has come around. I am not leaving anything out. This is all he gave me and said it would be all I need. If I never can figure it out, oh well life goes on, but if someone recognized something like this and could help I would reward them with 4btc. Heck I would probably give them 5. My dad and his business partner decided to jump into this bitcoin world recently and we have a lot of miners running. Yes, the other post on here was to help someone. Also, my friend was a member on most forums either as (ReadyEddy, or Level28Wizard). I just thought of that other name writing this, so I will check on here. Anyways, this is not a scam, and actually have website to verify, but why. Thanks, CCG |

Was he really doped up coming out of surgery and just wrote down nonsense thinking he was remembering some private key or password?
No, he gave it to me before. He was my best friend and we were involved in lots of things. His health wasn't always the best, and he gave me his paper wallet and told me that If anything ever did happen to him that I could get the coins with the information on it. I never thought anything of it. Never thought he would pass. He has a Chromebook that has 10x the amount of coins in that then what he gave me. I know its worth it to pursue and I hope by talking about it something might pop up that I can remember. |

Then, we wait. While we wait can you find out his user name on this forum? Perhaps simply log on from the computer he did use to go online. Perhaps he used the auto fill in feature on the browser. It would be very valuable to find this as we can then look at all of his posts.
Yes, he was a member on all the forums. Good idea. Thanks Was his name john by chance. Haha. Maybe John K's name wasn't actually John? Why wouldn't your friend give you more details on how to retrieve them? He was going in for Surgery and no one was expecting him to pass away. All he said was this is all you need to access the coins. He probably thought I knew how to access them. I didn't even think of asking him about it. |

Mac or Windows computer?
Do you know the address, or any transactions he made that we can get the address from?
He had a few different wallets. He keep a Chromebook that was never online in a Safety Deposit Box. He gave me this paper wallet with those string of numbers. I know he didn't like going online. Do you have the Chromebook or not? Wont be able to access the Chromebook for a couple of weeks. He kept it in a Safety Deposit Box and the bank won't holds it for 30 days with a proof of death. Hopefully it will show something. |

There is also the possibility that ccg is trying to steal from someone's wallet. We don't know him from Adam so how can we be sure? The 4BTC bounty makes me suspicious that he either a) doesn't value the coins because he stole them rather than earned them or b) he has no intention of paying out. Also what kind of person hands over some weird numbers that will unlock his wallet without any sort of explanation as to how to use them?
Seriously? It's not a bounty. It's a donation. Do you wan't me to send you the website remembering my friend. Not all people bad. Let me publicly post information trying to do something wrong. I am sorry you think that. Also, we mine coins currently and I feel that a 4 Bitcoin Donation would draw more interest in trying to help me out. I am more than happy to privately talk to you regarding any information you want. I never thought of asking him while he was in the hospital to show my how to access them. People have more courtesy than that, or at least I do. You need to trust people a little more. Yes, when I first jumped into the Bitcoin Community (because of my friend) I was Scammed out of a Big Chunk of money out of China. Am I still upset about this, Yes. But not all people are bad. If you can help, I would be happy to donate to you. Thanks for the input. CCG |

Coiner8, yes it is Bitcoin. I know how much was in the wallet. 4 BitcoinBTC is a fair deal for help with this. I feel that If I go 4 Bitcoin then someone that might recognize the keys and be able to help. Over the last month I have mined for Bitcoin, PeerCoin, BetaCoin, ShaCoin, etc.. So I do understand all the AltCoins.
Thanks

Franky, I feel that a 4 BitcoinBTC donation is fair. We have jumped into the Bitcoin community and we have been mining for over a month. If someone can recognize the numbers and it works to be able to access the actual address then I would be happy to share. I also have given free advice to others and I believe in karma, but in this instance I understand that time is money and I would love to get this figured out. Danny, those numbers I shared are the right amount just changed them up, but they are the correct amount. So 12 numbers on the first line, and 8 Capital letters and 6 numbers on the second line. We have tried bitaddress.org and use the numbers to create an address, but that didn't work. I haven't tried Armory, but someone on reddit said he didn't think it was Armory.

Overclocking should push your S1 up to about 5 amps. We run 4 S1's on a 20Amp Breaker and use (  550w 25a power supply for stability. We overclock 1 miner in this configure to stay just under the amps needed to pop the breaker. |
