if you lost location for wallet, say a dead or stolen pc, but still have your private key, is there a way to find your btc in the chain or is it toast?
Thanks,
James
Your main question is answered. I would only like to add that if there's a chance your computer was stolen or sold and others have a chance to access your data, it could be a very good idea to move your coins to a new address. Better safe than sorry.
