Omitting the characters you have likely still makes you identifiable (especially since block hashes are quite easy to search through if you've got the blockchain in front of you).
You could try taking out the private keys and exporting them into electrum (from electrum.org) but if the address doesn't have funds on a block explorer, something else might be an issue (perhaps if you've spent the coins or the block didn't broadcast correctly).
You could also install an up to date version of bitcoin core for the best privacy but it might need a lot of time to sync and a lot of bandwidth.
Thank you for the tips, Jack!
- 1. I do have another machine (macbook) with bitcoin core full synced. Do you think is safe to import his private key on this computer?
- 2. There is no transaction on his wallet. I hope it was not broadcast correctly. Is still possible to recover?
My friend and I generated bitcoin on his personal computer in March 2009 and received 50 bitcoins on his address, but, unfortunately, this computer is outdated and the blockchain take 10 years to update.
I don't really understand what you mean by "it takes 10 years to update".
Are you trying to download the blockchain in bitcoin core and it says it takes 10 years to be synced? If so, it shouldn't take that much.
1. Is possible the bitcoin still there but not updated on blockchain?
No.
Either you don't have bitcoin at all or you are looking at a wrong address.
According to the data you shared, the 50 BTC have been mined in the block number 4111.
Bitcoin generated on that block haven't been moved at all and are still in the address 1C7JtZUBeSPy7eZQ9vuCcaHRzYjKmnXACJ. This address doesn't match what you shared above.
The transaction ID you shared above is also different from the hash of coinbase transaction of that block.
Where did you take this data from?
- 1. Is possible to have "broadcast" problem because of outdated computer?
- 2. How did you get the Block and this Wallet Address?
My friend send this data from his computer (I think it is the miner's software output)
