I paid an trustable local expert for recovery and made a contract about that for safety.

If two people have access to a private key, it's impossible to prove who moved the coins. A contract gives at best a false sense of security.

I could go back to my local expert but that would be another lot of money that I would have to pay.

Why didn't this "expert" check the addresses for funds while he's at it? That seems like the least any expert could do for a paid job.

Is there a way I can automatically check this whole ton of bitcoin addresses?

How many addresses are you talking about? If it's a few thousand only, you can just use Electrum.

If it's millions, this works very fast:

How to use
The most likely use is to check a long list of Bitcoin addresses for a remaining balance.
On Linux, use this to find matching addresses (after extrating the compressed .gz file of course):

Code:

comm -12 Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt <(cat mylist.txt | sort | uniq)

Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt: the extracted latest version downloaded from addresses.loyce.club.
mylist.txt: your own list of addresses, one address per line.

I'm pretty sure there's a user here that has published a list of all bitcoin addresses that have a balance associated. @LoyceV was that you?

It's me. FWIW: you can't notify me by editing your post. I only scan unedited posts.
