I have found my old mining address which still has about 0.7btc in it...

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1CASsBYhRAFrJkQXzw8E2di7vP6FhQyEpC?page=1

The question is, I know I was using an old Samsung phone and the Schildbach wallet, this was so early on that I still have emails from where I was asking him asking for pin unlock because I thought it was insecure!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

This app used to like to backup the keys to a file called bitcoin-wallet-keys-xxx-xx-xx (xxx being the date)

The thing is I cannot locate this backup, but I do have the phone, does anyone here know of any good software to scan the phone with, the phone was wiped at some point so needs to be pretty low level kinda stuff...  Huh

Any hope of doing this or am I wasting my time?




Yes, it can be recovered but only by a specialist. It would be an encrypted recovery (nonsensical)

I just saw this thread trending on CryptoCurrency subreddit and found this reply by a guy who says he's one of the OG on Bitcoin Talk forum.
According to him:

Quote
The Satoshi Nakamoto who submitted the Bitcoin whitepaper was Nick Szabo. Japanese name is written in reverse so it's Nakamoto Satoshi. He picked this name as to get the same initials NS on the whitepaper while not having to reveal his full name.



Give it a read, I think I am kind of convinced, I always thought Satoshi was Hal Finney. I would love to know what you guys think about this.
Would love to hear some more stuff from OG members.


Most people have already figured it out but choose not to commend about the subject on this public forum because it was SN's original request to stay anonymous.

So with that in mind, we really need to respect their request.
