Here's the facts as I remember them...

How do I access the coins... Huh

😂😂😂

I have reported the post to be moved to a technical board where they can help you better but from what you tell and a 2010 wallet I think the chances of recovering anything are pretty close to 0.

What amount are we talking about?

I bought

Might go looking for corrupted hard drive one day but as far as I know it's well cooked. It was pulled apart & in pieces last time saw it after a computer dude tried to boot it & said mate this thing is toast.

Bitcoin core (bitcoin QT at the time) did not use recovery words.
Private keys are contained in the file wallet.dat, and this encrypted file is located in a separate directory from the bitcoin client.
The only chance left is hardware recovery data of hard drive. If you still have it, write me in PM your contact

My understanding is Bitcoin Client changed to Bitcoin QT further down the track. The Bitcoin QT interface doesn't look right to me. Wasn't till I found Bitcoin Client interface did the penny drop.

Any Bitcoin client that was used MAY have issued some words after creating the wallet as a recovery for password only feature.

My other theory is the 8 words hashed with the password to generate the PGP keys to add "entropy". From what I've read the same keys may be able to be regenerated to give the same PGP's back. Once complete another algorithms can spit out the public & private address for the wallet.
