Hi all,
Somewhere around 2009 or 2010 I bought a small amount of BTC. Forgot all about it and later gave my old laptop to a cousin who formatted it and put Linux on it.
On the radio I heard Bitcoin is doing really well and I remember having printed both public and private keys on a piece of paper, but I could not find it anywhere. Until yesterday, coincidentally found it between some old bank statements.
So here is my question: is there a way to retrieve the bitcoins and put them in a new wallet. It should be worth at least a few hundreds of dollars. No QR codes, just characters on paper so I will have to type them in by hand. I hope it is still possible. Please keep in mind that I am still a newbie, any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated!
