1  Economy / Web Wallets / Help recovering Bitcoin from old Json wallet? (blockchain info android wallet) on: December 25, 2020, 07:35:40 AM
I found an old wallet I had on an android tablet from 2014 - it is in a JSON format and I do have the password for it.

This was using the old Blockchain.Info android app from around 2014 I believe.  I tried sending coins out from the app on the tablet but it seems to never broadcast to the blockchain.  Probably because it's a 6 year old app with outdated code.  I can't update the app because I no longer have access to the e-mail address from back in 2014 and I am afraid if I re-download the app with another e-mail it will delete my wallet. 

So I used the backup feature to backup the wallet in JSON format.

So what can I do with this JSON file?  I see blockchain.com let's you import them, but my worry is I no longer have access to my old e-mail from 2014 and I am not sure if I had an e-mail tied to the wallet.  I don't remember if those old Blockchain wallets are tied to e-mail addresses/logins or if its just a standalone phone wallet.

So my worry is if I try to recover on Blockchain.com - it will trigger some kind of 2FA from the wallet and my funds will be locked or something.

Any ideas on how to proceed with this?
