maybe try to recover the wallet with software, otherwise your stuffed
The wallet is long gone.
I think there could be some useful improvements, like warning the user that the address has never been seen, are you sure, etc.
OK, feeling hopeful. I found the wallet in an old Carbonite backup.
I have restored that to a working bitcoin location, and am now synching.
It's taking forever to sync, but fingers crossed.
Likely to be successful?
