Remember the name of this old desktop wallet?

[Dilace]

Hi

"Mission impossible"


I angry... in early times (2010-2012?) i was installed a wallet that can't remember the name. For a faucet or similar, dont have millions...
It was unistalled and the Hard disk are broken, if i repair HDD maybe can recover "wallet.dat". it would be a good miracle lol

I've been looking at images of the old desktop wallets for hours for know what it, i can't remember the name only that have a lower left square light yellowed with the Balance, and the numbers in a large size.


i see tons of images for remenber but no are:
Bitcoin QT
Armory
Electrum
Multibit

i was see image in http://web.archive.org but can't find again grrr...


Does anyone remember the name of that desktop wallet?

What is the actual damage of your HDD?

If it was just a simple error when booting the OS maybe you can still fix the issue and access the HDD without any error.
So that you can normally access it and look what is the installed wallet from your HDD.

Or I think you can use some USB bootable tool where you can access the HDD even the OS is corrupted. Try hiren's OS burn them into USB and boot it to your pc
Once you access the HDD try to look for "wallet" keyword it's a common wallet file name.

Here's the list of wallet filename of wallet you mention above.

Code:

Bitcoin-QT
"wallet.dat"

Armory
"walletname.wallet"

Multibit HD
"mbhd.wallet.aes"

Multibit Classic 
"wallet name-20140407200743.key"

The wallet file of Electrum doesn't have file extension so it would be hard to guess if what wallet name you use. Anyway just use the "wallet" keyword and maybe it's bitcoin-qt or multibit wallet.

Only remember that have balance in light yellowed background in balance in the left down corner with big numbers.

Doesn't sound like any wallet that I know of... the only one I know of that puts a balance in the lower left corner is Electrum, but that doesn't use "Big numbers" and it doesn't have the balance with a yellow background.

There really were not a lot of desktop wallets around back then... mostly a lot of webbased services... are you sure it wasn't a web wallet? (especially because you were using faucets)

Which OS did you install it on? It can help us narrow down the possibilities.

If you do not remember which one, try to remember what the decorations around the window border looked like. If they look shiny, translucent and polished with close/minimize/maximize buttons on the top left then it's probably Windows 7. If here were red, yellow and green circular buttons on the top left then it was a Mac OS X wallet. Otherwise it was probably a wallet that ran on Linux.

Electrum still exists I guess.

Electrum still exists I guess.
Got the app

Unfortunately, its not the wallet that op is finding as electrum doesn't have file extension with and a .dat extension.
