Just a warning, dont make the mistake of trusting some newbies who PM you and ask you to send them your wallet file. Someone might try to take advantage of your situation although without the passphrase it is hard to get ahead.

I've been on the net since dial-up, that could never happen. Appreciate the concern.


Update:

I am unable to access the file which I apparently saved as a .txt , which I am certain was a text file that I left the passphrase on. I also may have left a private comment on my FB page, to myself, with said passphrase. That is in the early days of BTC tho I believe, back when a lot of people did not believe it would go anywhere. I'm going to check all posts I made from specific years, to make certain. I also seem to recall trashing an HDD due to some , uh, questionable stuff I may/may not have been up to back then. Pretty sure I had a couple wallets on there. facepalming hard here.

What did you scan your drives with? There ate several lowl scanners for tgis
