Hi all,
most embarrassing, but trolling through some old data of mine from 2010 I found I had forgotten completely that I had a bitcoin address with 5 BTC in it.
I got this when they were giving it away.
I don't have a password but possibly I used a deterministic wallet where I put in a password and it generates an address and key from there.
Unfortunately modern deterministic tool services seem to use the latest hashing techniques but not the older ones that were around in 2010.
Using the latest deterministic wallet tools do not give me the same address using my seed key but perhaps an old version of a tool may work.
So the question is.... Anyone know of an old tool that I could download using old and out of date ciphers that could possibly generate the correct address from my seed password?
Did the old addresses require a key?
Other than the above, I'm stuck aren't I... :-(...
Do you have any more details? Do you remember anything about how or where you got the Bitcoin address? How the private key was generated? Do you remember at all if you used an old wallet (which "brand" of wallet you used)?
