Hey everyone,

I'm sorry for the possibly elementary question... but scenario:

My BlackBerry Z10 had some bitcoin on it using the app "Bitcoin Wallet".  I transferred the BTC from another phone, to the current Z10... but unfortunately the Z10 died.  It wont boot.. I cant access the data..etc..  Is there a way retrieve my money through the block chain... or any other way?


On Another topic... I stopped mining BTC about two years ago and was part of the whole Flower Tech Scam... I've been out of the loop for quite some time...But i see the difficulty rates decreasing... Could mining for small individuals become feasible again?

Thank you for any help...!
Unless you've got a way to access the private key of the wallet on your Z10, you're SOL.  You'll still be able to see your coins on the blockchain by looking at the address (assuming you know the public address)... but without the private key, or getting your Z10 back up and running, those coins are effectively lost.

Mining for the small individual is getting harder and harder, even though the difficulty changes have been leveling out as of late.  Fewer and fewer hardware manufacturers produce home mining gear, concentrating instead on the larger scale industrial miners.
