So i have come across an old bitcoin file from 2012. Its not a wallet.dat file and its not encrypted in any way. Its a .csv file and a .txt file and when i open it, its just tons of numbers in decimal format. basically a private key in a rather raw format.
the first line is 15 digits, second line is 9 digits, 3rd is 8 digits, 4th is 15 digits, and so on...
the file has thousands of rows, no commas. if i remember correctly, its roughly 1 BTC. the guy i bought it from transferred it off a 8gb flash drive straight into my computer. I believe he instructed me to use it to create a wallet on electrum or bitcoin core, but I never did. I have no wallet.dat file. just numbers in a csv file.
How do i extract the private key from this file and generate a wallet out of it?
