Hey Bitcoiners, I have found a public address with over 400 BTC linked to it which belongs to Stefan Thomas / justmoon, untouched since 2011. I would really like to contact him, because it's more than 200.000 USD worth of BTC right now which is really a huge amount of money. Does anyone of you have an idea how to contact him the best? I don't know if he is just intentionally hoarding so much coins since years or if he just forgot about it. Maybe he has the private key backuped somewhere and can gain back access to his coins, if he has forogt about it. This is what I tried: I really appreciate any help! Thanks a lot! |

Hey guys, no, I just found an address which he mentioned a few years ago here at BitcoinTalk.org which almost 100% belongs to him, and this address contains almost 500 BTC. It is NOT the 7000 BTC wallet that he lost some time ago, but another one. I also had my first progress! He wrote back from moon@justmoon.net, but he thinks that I mean the 7000 BTC story from some time ago and told me that many contact him about that and kindly asked me to not write him again. However, I have written him back - I hope he reads it and I get an answer. |

If he is not interested anymore just send me the wallet and I will try to bruteforce it. I will send you half of it, if I found the password.  |

What does it matter if you have his address or public key? If you had his private ones he might be interested. |

How would this benefit to him if he don't have the private key anymore? Stop emailing him you just wasting his time. |

This is the golden question. If he has the private keys somewhere, then he would get access to it. If he is not interested anymore just send me the wallet and I will try to bruteforce it. I will send you half of it, if I found the password.

If he had the private keys he would already have access. |

Haha, yeah. The private keys are the coins. If you lose your coins you've lost the keys, not the public addresses. You really need to read up on Bitcoins. |

Sorry, I think I didn't express myself right. I know that you need the private key to access the coins. This is what I have meant:
Plausible scenario: the user "justmoon" created a Bitcoin wallet some years ago, filled it with coins (and used it) and then for some reason forgot about it. The reason why I try to contact him now is to ask him if he knows about his wallet that he didn't use for years and deliberately hasn't spent the coins yet, or if he just forgot about it. If he forgot about it and now finds out again because I reminded him, well.. Great for him (if he has the private keys backuped somewhere). And if not, then it's okay too.
I read some cases on Reddit where users forgot about their wallets filled with lots of Bitcoins and find it again years later. Maybe this is also a similar case.
