Can i get my bitcoin back?

[northstarh]

A friend of mine had some Bitcoin on his phone a couple of years ago and he's lost that phone which stored the private keys on without any other backup. We can see his balance on the blockchain and he knows his password for the private keys. Is there a way of creating the private key from the bitcoin address and the known password?

Sorry if I have to answer, if you have lost it, you need to keep the necessary seed and personal lock information, which is the only way to get your money back.

you need to be very careful when operating your wallet as far as cryptocurrecy is concern,your private key is like your ATM password and when you lost it,you lost access to your account and money,there is no way you will be able to get it back,your bitcoin are gone and you should learn from this lesson that whenever you lost your phone and private key you lost your bitcoin

[EddyGameta]

Your password is useles and you cant get your bitcoin back, you need private key to open your wallet. Are you sure you dont have any backup on cloud storage or anywhere

[akuser]

I'm sorry, hope this does not happen to anyone. To keep more thorough and careful.
Unfortunately I can not do much to help.

good to see you share a useful experience,its warning for me and some people who have wallet on phone and forget to back up the private keys,its important for us to keep up safe and make sure we have a copy of private keys,because if you lost like op story,its a horrible accident,how much your friend lost that bitcoin? it can't back i think.

This is why there will be instructions to write your private key or seed in physical format. It's never safe to store your private keys and seeds on devices. You can't get that coins back now. It's gone for good.

Do you have the seed? If you do then you could recreate the wallet and recover your funds, but if you don’t then I’m sorry to tell you that the coins are lost forever, if it was possible to know the private key deriving it by having the address then bitcoin will be incredibly vulnerable to any attack.

No.  Tell your friend to forget about it. Although it is very sad. Your personal keys are needed to rescue your friends Bitcoin. Private keys are the only way to access your bitcoin,but  you will not be able to access your address if you lose your keys. Your currency will be lost forever There is no benefit to cry for this. Forget it.

I agree that every wallet we must add the key in order to secure your own bitcoin from those people who have malicious intent. so we do not give a chance to other people to access our account and opening our wallet contents, but we should not forget our own key because we have forgotten it then the risk we will lose the wallet contents or bitcoin we collect with difficulty so useless if we reproach the bitcoin will not return by itself.

When you lost the key to your house, you can still call the locksmith. And tada, everything's gonna be fine. But when you lost the key to your Bitcoin wallet, you cannot call no one. And tada, everything's gone. If the phone is still reachable and rings then you have a chance. But I doubt it because it was lost a couple of years already. I think there's such a thing as good bye after all.

There is no way to get it back, yes you can still see the balance in blockchain but your friend forgot the private key because you have to save with the private key to keep your bitcoin safe.

[ryanben]

If you want to retrieve the coin you must have private keys or the path to your wallets from email
Without them you will not get it back

[Casdinyard]

Yes, private key is always the answer in everything so always have your back up at some piece of paper. It's the least you can do for your precious coin.

Nope. but is good. because don't forget next time.

[Amph]

the first thing to do when you deal with money like bitcoin is to do a backup, nothing else is more important, now there is no way to get those back, unless you find the phone again

but see the positive thing, you contributed to make bitcoin more rare now by losing that tiny 0.58, but the bad news is thta you also lost a phone and i hope it's not an expensive one, or your loss would be far greater

[Lorilikes]

Unless it's a Blockchain.info wallet they allow a user to be emailed there wallet id that's all you need plus pass word and you are back in. 

[nagobinga]

It depends on us if we want to take it back bitcoin we must be really looking first to file it and must be careful.

In this digital and paperless age bro, sometimes a little piece of paper and pen will help... and could have saved millions. That is now a lost bitcoin. Sorry to say that. I think that will never be retrieved. The private key is needed. Your password will not be of help without the private key.

Next time, try to think that a pen and paper is stronger than the most expensive smartphone in this world. At least, when it comes to saving very important codes such as a private keys.

Truly it's not possible to get back lost bitcoin.Only private keys are the only way to get bitcoin. Without it you can't access on it.If you lost it then forget it.And move for your new bitcoin.

[mrayazgul]

There's no way to get it back, sorry. The word "Private" mean something hidden from other but not from the owner. So i feel so sorry for you. Private key is the only thing which give us access to your bitcoins and wallet settings. As we know every wallet contain high security which are unbeatable. Maybe contacting them can help you other wise there's no chance.

[heleng05]

There's no way to recover to unless you have you phone. Even you now the wallet address you must save your private keys online like social media that even you lost your phone you your private key.
