can someone help me check and get the private key working.

[VERBOSE]

I don't know this well and contacting blockchain.com would probably be difficult as I think blockchain.com doesn't manage the private keys generated this way, they only manage their private keys wallet.

i am not saying this is a property dispute, but i think only blockchain developers or managers can check this transaction, maybe this thinking is ignorant, but i ignored plans to use bitcoin for 6 years for outside life

hope someone out of 19 bitcoin founders will be interested and help me

hi all, i have a wallet created like a paper wallet, by my birthday date and enough 64 character numbers to get the address and private key
i have a transaction that received bitcoin on july 30, 2015 or 2016 but i don't save the txid.
i selected 1 of 3 addresses with private key and saved that year.

it starts from previous birthday, last month and previous year.

1Ax5GUH9no2zRzcWhWEFXbofdPKd11fYKE
17WcVeQzBqKzBEe7V8dse8RsbwCuKAqu4f

I checked again and there is no transaction history.

Can someone help me? I don't know what to do, because it's a great asset.

thank you very much.

Very confusing topic so far with no clear answers. Can you confirm a few things:

• Did you use the WIFs you have (starting with K/L or 5) to get the addressed in your post?
• When you take about 64 character numbers do you mean consisting of the numbers 0-9 and a-f?

Basically if you have a WIF or the private key (64 chars, 0-9 & a-f) for only the three addresses in your original post then they are worthless since none of these addresses were ever funded.

If however the WIFs/private keys correspond to other addresses you can look those up in any block explorer.

[VERBOSE]

I believe it is still safe and can be transferred to a new wallet later.

i'm to be one of the 20 founders of bitcoin but i withdrew from the project and joined outside jobs.
hope someone can help instead of reading and researching about me
I hope Dorian Prentice will see this post and contact me.
I've rummaged through everything to search a mailing address, an email or a phone number but can't at the moment
i lost the way to contact with him, and i have a phone number and email but lost all, i cant learn english better but i will still use google translate or get an interpreter
Thank for all

If you're thinking about somehow "recovering" the funds though the developers' intervention: it's not possible.
No one is in full control of the network, even satoshi himself.

What you should focus on is to find your correct funded addresses first, then find their private keys.

For the past and current reference client developers, you can find them here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors

[VERBOSE]

yes that is correct address including private key, this is my fault because i am not using address of blockchain wallet or let Dorian Prentice create a new wallet and transfer btc to

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry but you sound like a nutcase. Founders of Bitcoin? Dorian Prentice? Come on, that's not even funny if you're trying to be funny.

In case of a very slim probability that you're actually having a real problem, take your time, and use all the great advice you got above to figure out what you really have from 2015/2016, is it a private key, or a seed/phrase of some sort. Keep in mind that if you know only a few characters out of 64, you have no chance to "guess" the rest of it so don't waste your time.

[VERBOSE]

Private key cannot be guessed, you do not know this before entering the forum.
If I said satoshi nakamoto was my nickname that year, would you believe it.
No one can guess anyone's private key, and especially private key can generate faster than 1 message
There are many surprises in the world, especially you, a frog typing on a keyboard that has nothing to do with you.

[PawGo]

OK, let's start from the another side. You said that there was a transaction but you don't have txid. You are sure transaction happened, right? Do you know the value?
You may check history of transactions (https://gz.blockchair.com/bitcoin/transactions/) to see if you find the suspected one.
And now there is one thing I do not understand, which case is true:
1) you have some private keys, but each of them produces empty address and transaction was sent to another address, which you do not know
2) you know the address used in transaction but you do not have WIF for that address
3) you know address used in transaction, you have key for it and address is empty ?

[TheArchaeologist]

I think we can stop waisting time on this since after all these posts and questions it is still not clear what the actual problem is.

My best guess: OP came up with some clever brainwallet a few years ago, but forgot what it was exactly. He/she tried a few combinations which resulted in a private key for wrong addresses (no incoming transactions). Now somehow it is expected we figure out what his original brainwallet was.

yes i look for transaction maybe 750,000 BTC around 3:30am on July 30, 2015 or 2016, time zone -7

Fake founder of Bitcoin that can't even learn to speak english and still needs to use machine translation for talking with other people...

Can you give him some free English language lessons...sir?
Maybe he will send you some Bitcoin founders edition as reward for your efforts

Most likely. Another possibility is that he pulled a random address from his blockchain.com wallet for the transfer he is talking about and not one of his brainwallet imported addresses, and has since lost access to the blockchain.com wallet.

You seem to be very confused. Are you sure you are even talking about bitcoin here and not some altcoin?

[LoyceV]

transactions on the blockchain in the past often show an approximation

Let me rephrase my earlier comment: you have no idea how Bitcoin works.

Now you're just trolling.

I'm sorry but you sound like a nutcase.

Fixed that for you. Don't be sorry for your opinion, that causes snowflakism.

Allowing for some unfortunate language and formatting confusion, there are no 750 BTC outputs between July 29-21 in 2015, and there is one in 2016 to a wallet of some Chinese miner:

hope i will be help
750000 btc mined from early unmined blocks
I think surely you also realize my disappearance after 10 years
I don't need too much but Dorian Prentice says it's my part.
another part, blocks have been mined was invested in exchanges in 2013 or 2014.

yes satoshi was my nickname a decade ago.

a lot of people still make the mistake that after I go back bitcoin will drop sharply, but that's a mistake,
After many years users still hope I come back so I can trust bitcoin more.

Every 2 years I take a few blocks that have already been mined and added to the blockchain.com and use.
2017 and last time around 2019 i used block with 50 bitcoins and got scammed with 40 bitcoins.
in the early years my country couldn't sell or withdraw much bitcoin on exchanges, it was limited to about 0.5 btc, so i kept.

Blocks of early 2009 and 2010.

Dude you could at least try a bit to impersonate satoshi. Have you even read his replies on the forum? His/Her/Their English was incredible and the way that each of his/her/their intervention was made seemed to be so meticulously planned that it almost looked like a poem. Your text, on the other hand - don't take me wrong by saying this - seems like it was the result of using Google Translator five times in different languages with the last one being English.

Please, do not disrespect satoshi in the way that you are doing. You will never attain anything with that kind of attitude in here. I never saw anyone here refusing to help a member in need of guidance - regarding the world of crypto and everything that entails - so you won't get "special treatment" just because you claim to be satoshi. I'm sorry but do try to contribute to the forum in other ways.

[VERBOSE]

There are a few secrets I can't reveal to all of you, because bitcoin isn't just for talking.
As of today, I'm just asking for help, I don't want to draw attention to anyone who is worried that if I show up bitcoin will lose value.
maybe later I'll post my early stories, about me.
I think no one has to worry about the rise and fall of bitcoin, and probably many miners still regret that the bitcoin limit that year was too small compared to now.

Mentally unstable individuals really shouldn't open threads or be allowed to use a computer without the supervision of a doctor. Especially Satoshi Nakamotos who were scammed for 40 bitcoin, forgot the private key for their address that was funded with 750,000 BTC, and would like to add that amount to their blockchain.com wallet that already holds around 900 million bitcoins.

[VERBOSE]

What do you know about a person with the name satoshi nakamoto?, articles or replies newsweek.

keep in mind my purpose, and if you have any questions, i don't want to say, satoshi nakamoto is just a name i made up yes i'm back.

you are scratching your own keyboard

afraid of bitcoin price drop, afraid of me selling a large amount of bitcoin
or you can just brush off that bitcoin is fine without anyone else, i don't want satoshi nakamoto as a nickname
If you have a little bit and are afraid of my appearance, it is a mistake that will kill you and me

don't scratch the keyboard anymore.
What are you stressed about? And if you can help other members with something, try to be a good person

[o_e_l_e_o]

yes i'm back.
