[400 BTC LOST] Can someone help me to contact Stefan Thomas from WeUseCoins.com?

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:

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.

It's not. If they've lost the coins the public address doesn't matter.

I'm confused  

I don't think you're the only one. It seems the OP has found a public address with 500 coins in it and somehow thinks he's found some lost coins or something. He thinks because he's found it he can tell the owner about it and give him his coins back. Or maybe not haha.

Worst thing is, this guy continue to rub salt all over that lost btc wound.

Epic trolling.

Haha. I can't work out if he's trolling or not. It's hard to tell with some of the truly moronic questions you get from half of these newbs.

You got trolled.

NO, I cannot give him back any coins of course - I neither have the private key to this public address nor I have access to his wallet file / his coins / whatever!

1. I read some old bitcointalk.org forum posts
2. In a pretty old thread, I found a public address from an old Bitcoin user named "justmoon"
3. I was curious if the user was still using his address
4. Checked it on blockchain.info, found out that the address is linked to almost 500 BTC, unused since 2011
5. Was interested in who the owner of these BTC is
6. Did some research, found it out
7. Trying to contact him for interest, just to see if he intentionally hoards so much coins since years or if he just forgot about the coins

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.

I doubt that one of the Administrators of this very forum would forget about Bitcoin holdings...

Anyways, he is now CTO at RippleLabs, maybe you can reach him there somehow. I am quite sure he doesn't need a reminder that he owns some BTC though.

This guys is just trolling us. Who would forgot his $200,000?

[Freefallr]

Got a reply - he actually lost the private keys linked to this public address and is aware of it, therefore he couldn't use it anymore since years.

If he had the private key he could have already spend it. Public keys is useless with out the private key.

I don't see a need for this thread. It's like contacting someone and telling them, hey I see you have $200,000 in your account. Do you have access to it?

definitely nice going from you

doesn't matter if he can't use the coins, it would be nice to tell him you have the coins just to remind him why he shouldn't forget his bitcoins
