What Will You Do To Recover Bitcoin?

[Lucius]

As others have said, such a site would very likely already cease to exist and any coins in such a site would be lost. OP is talking about an imaginary situation in which he/she can not even remember the name of a page on which he/she may have some BTC. Pretty pointless, and if there was such a situation, in reality, it would make no sense at all to think about it.

We can see people who are trying to recover their coins from long-time forgotten files on their PC, or deleted files. Even that is sometimes extremely difficult, although they know what and where to look.

The most important thing there is the website and the email and password you use there.
Without the website domain or without the website even being online, there is a 0% chance to recover no matter how many or how lease your bitcoin amount there.

If you singed up that site using your email then you can find that site and recover. But most of the sites give away sites gone. So there is less hope to get back your btc.
Note: If you don't have any key or seed of your coin.then that coin is not yours.because site owner can scam you.

if the site is still alive maybe they will freeze your account or banned your account that's what happened, because we know 100 BTC at that time was not worth the price this year, I once left my first site to get free bitcoin from a roll game, after several long time I access it again, my fund is gone

[airdnasxela]

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and I failed to recover the coins despite trying everything I could. I received some altcoins as a bonus for my work and forgot about them. Later during the 2017 bubble the price of those coins skyrocketed, and I tried to access them, but couldn't find the wallet file on my computer. I used hard drive recovery tools and found some wallet.dat file, but it was corrupt and couldn't be opened. Looking at hex dump, it looks like large parts of it were already overwritten by other data.

So, generally recovery will either be very easy if you have the right password and wallet, or effectively impossible.

What a sad story pal... I don't know whether to feel good that I ain't too early discovering bitcoin, and I don't have such experience

It's a pity when we realize that we wasted a lot of bitcoin from the past where bitcoin still wasn't that popular. And now, we're regretting everything.
For op, it would be hard for you to recover that bitcoin. A little chance or probably no change of recovering it. I mean, it was such a long time (if it's a real story). 7 years, but if the site was still alive, try remembering your account as much as possible, but if the site isn't available already, then I guess, you need to move on.

Something like your own story?

I had some forgotten bitcoin but it aint that large. Something like hundred thousands of satoshis.
Mostly it was when faucets was really hyped.
Earned it all and it redirects to another faucet website with list of where you could get some satoshis in exchange for captcha.
But there is a withdrawal fee, although it could be adjusted I already forgot them all.

You cannot do anything about it anymore since it is not yet yours until you send it to your own wallet.

In 2010, you came across a site that was giving away bitcoins. The site said it was free money so you signed up. You were logging in to figure out how it was money but couldn't. The last time you logged in you had more than 100 bitcoins. Later you forgot about the site until 2017 when a ponzi was advertising Bitcoin. Bitcoin? The name rang a bell and you stated hearing stories. You remembered you must have many bitcoins  somewhere but you can't even remember the name of the site. How would you recover your BTC?

lol after 7 years?and you have no wallet?just the bitcoin from the specific site?is that a exchange?or just a random site that gives away bitcoin that time?

anyway if you cannot even remember the site so what more if there are other details you need to remember.

forget it,and start accumulating bitcoin now to earn in future as you have already experienced the regret of having this wayback 2010

A balance on a site is just virtual until it sits in your wallet. Not your keys, not your wallet.

How would you recover your BTC?

There might be no way to locate such website again because most websites that gave free bitcoin during that time are gone.
Just accept your fate and move on because the biggest mistake you made was leaving it on website.

[BigBos]

I'm not sure there's anything you can do with it. the biggest conclusion I can think of is, it's not your bitcoin anymore. even when you know the site, I can't guarantee the coin is there, even more so if it's a site that can be easily managed by its administrator.
if you come back for your bitcoin, and you believe that it is a well-known site, I think you will remember it someday. but I'm not sure that you still have bitcoin there, or that the site has become a scam, or has even been closed.
I have also remembered this story. I have a story like this, but in the end, I did not find my bitcoin there, even the transaction I did not find. so start moving forward and forget about the coin.

Most likely your site will be locked, and you will be very sorry because you lost a million dollars in BTC equivalent

[Yamifoud]

I don't think there is a way to recover it, they all gone forever. And the smart thing to do with that particular situation is to forget that you have money out there and get focus for what you can do today. Thinking of that mistake will simply bothered you all the time which makes you sick.

I know it is too hard to forget it but we have nothing to do is to accept and give some room for new coming, and maybe this time we can back-up all the keys and passwords of email add that be needing just in case it happens again.

[crossabdd]

nothing can be recovered, if all your bitcoins are still on the free bitcoin-producing website. even you forget the name of the website. and if you remember that, I think the website is gone or closed. I have around 0.01BTC in the faucet, I didn't withdraw it. and finally I found the web access is not found. if you have already withdrawn it on the blockchain wallet, I hope you will remember your private key.

I think it would be hard to recover your bitcoins especially if you don't know what is the username and also the password, you will recover it when you know what email was bind to your account but if you don't know what is the email that you've been bind in your account then it would be really hard for you to recover your account as well as your bitcoins. And also if you don't know the site then it would be really hard also because you don't know what is the website that you store your bitcoins you don't know also if the website was down or not. If that's the case then it would be really impossible to recover your bitcoins.

If the site is active then it isn't a big problem to recover back the funds. Over the years there were more faucets, but now the number has decreased a lot. Some websites even with proper username and password used to show errors and won't be able to access into the account. This errors were due to the lack of update from the website.

You can still recover your bitcoin if the computer you used to to that site is still working. Sometimes your transaction or every logged in history was saved in your computer. So,it's possible to recover your bitcoin. If not then just charged it to experience and do not let your bitcoin loss again next time.

I was in the same situation 3 years ago, i remembered that i made a wallet for some faucets back in 2011 and i could'n remember it , and the way i was able to recover it is that i went back to my email and started searching all the mail that i got that includes btc in them and lucky for me i found it and i was able to recover 150$ worth of btc, i feel like that could be also applied to anything related to btc that you forgot about other than there is no other way.

[Shasha80]

I hope you just let go of the bitcoin that is on the site, because I'm sure if you can remember the name of the site and the password. Still
can't recover the bitcoin that you have on the site. Because it's been about 9 years, and I doubt if the site still exists. The problem is I'm
personally have experienced something similar to save bitcoin results from faucets, on the faucet site and after 5 years I just remembered.
Then I tried to withdraw from the site that ultimately can not attract the bitcoin that I have. Because it turns out the site is a scam.
My advice do not save our bitcoin in a long time in exchanges or wallets without regularly checking it, later we can lose the bitcoin that we store.
And it will be difficult to recover the bitcoin that we have.

[Gotumoot]

This website is definitely scam or closed, 100 BTC is a great deal of money so the website wallet owner or whatever website you are storing bitcoin will definitely be interested in and they can erase everything your data to prevent you from accessing your wallet again. I used to experience this with bitcoin faucet and i returned this faucet during bitcoin bull run but it is closed ..

[Kprawn]

Gavin's faucet was about the only site that was giving coins away for free back then, so I reckon that was what you were referring to. He closed

down the faucet and I think he took back the coins that was unclaimed. I was not around when he had the faucet, so I do not know if he deposited

the coins directly into people's Bitcoin addresses or if he had some type of ledger system to keep track of the coins. If he had a ledger running in

the background, then it was not actual bitcoins. Any early adopters out there that can give us some more details?

[the rise]

check your email to see the name of the website account that you have verified before, then make sure the website is still active, if that is true then make sure to remember the domain that is being used because many are down and lead to phishing sites.

2010 is full of hacked faucet/hyip websites, and your chances of getting back your BTC are very small because the balance has been transacted to another wallet by the hacker.
