I've only just found the phone and yes should have made a backup but this was 21 Aug 2011! This was so early, as I said in the OP there wasn't even any unlock security on the BTC app. There wasn't much value to protect...

I didn't even know there was 0.7btc in the wallet still.

My main question is about searching the phone, all the "recovery" software i have been looking at is looking for and sorting out certain file types, like .jpg, .mov etc as you'd probably want from a wiped phone.

I'm looking for a file that doesn't even have a file type!

Strange... Roll Eyes

In 2021 it was "early 2013":

I've been involved in BTC since early 2013, so I understand fully how it works. All of your comments were strawman or just pure ad hominem...

What is it about forums and the way they attract such self-righteous morons? Why can't someone just have a discussion without having a superiority complex?

I was not making reference that mining is the diver of price, it was just a turn of phrase that both the price and the hash rate are both going to the moon!

No one has yet given an expliantion any how over 700kwh for a transaction is in any way justifiable???

So what happens in the future.....We just continue down this path until we need more hash power than there is available electricity in the world, sure exponential growth in price is exciting but exponential growth of energy use is not...

Btw, is it the same wallet as the one you posted about in 2020?

Hi all,

I've been searching old HHDs for my 2011 mining activities, I found an old address I used to payout from a pool with 1btc in still but have no clue about the keys, but that's another story lol

I did, however, find a text file named "bitcoin-wallet-keys" which got my interest.
when I open it the format isn't something I recognise, anyone care to point in the right direction?

this is what's in the file 4 lines of text, 239 chars.....?
