Deepbit.net mining account from 2011, any way to contact the owner of the site?

[greenscreen20]

Hey guys, I realized I opened a deepbit mining account in 2011 and have the email confirmation.  I was mining bitcoin around this time.


I was wondering if anyone knows how in the world I could go about finding the creator / site owner and if I could somehow recover my old account? I was mining in 2011 so the coins were extremely cheap.

What the hell.. why are you worried about this? This site has closed their doors more than five years ago.

It only lasted ten months if i am not wrong, because it went offline by march of 2012.

How many bitcoins did you have in there? i can imagine that you had a lot, since the price was less than one hundred dollars per bitcoin, that is insane.

But no, there is no way to recover those funds, and we dont even know who was the owner.

So the only thing that you can do is just start from the beggining again..

I feel sorry for you man. That website closed long time ago. How much bitcoin did you have in there anyway?

I believe there is a significant amount of bitcoins related to the account, that's why I am doing anything I can to see if I can recover it.


I know I ran the mining for a few weeks so I would imagine there's dozens of bitcoins at least.

It seems the owner's name is Tycho on this forum, but he is since inactive.

oh my god...
If you invest there since 2011, I believe you must have earned hundreds and even thousands of BTC.
But I'm sorry, I suppose even if you can contact the owner that site you can not get your bitcoins anymore because their website was already closed long time ago, but at least you can try by visiting their thread
here's the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3889.6520
good luck my friend.

Unfortunately, they used WhoIsGuard to protect their personal information while running the site, so we can't use their WhoIs data to find their identity.

There's also been a couple of threads on Reddit asking about this, to no avail since the site went down.

You might as well send a PM to the bitcointalk account anyway.  If you're lucky, they'll still receive an email about it and try to respond.

The only Tycho I could find elsewhere was a musician, who probably isn't the same person.
