it's fascinating that you might have a dormant wallet address. If you're confident it's yours, tracking that address on the blockchain could help confirm your suspicious. It might even guide you toward tools or services that specialize in recovering old wallets.

This is the latest advice but there are multiple P2PKH, PDKDF1 & PDKDF2 options to consider. Just need everyone to agree on the right option then send me a link or program so i can try it & see what happens. 😂😂😂

I had a look at the forum when I got some time. Got side tracked when my kid smashed a window when I was typing this. Anyway...open up Firefox and open a new tab so you have two open. Open one up to https://www.freecodeformat.com/pbkdf2.php

And the other one bitaddress.org
In this tab
Click on wallet and now go offline.

Go back to the first tab

Put in your words. Set it to 256. Your password as salt and set iterations to 1(doesn’t matter) that should generate the master key hex thing. This will generate one either way. So will have to check it. With bitaddress The site will try and generate a new account so just go through it until it’s done. But on the wallet screen you’ve got a spot to put the private key. Put the hex you got from the other site and paste it in. This should create the public and private keys for that hex. Then check the btc address if it is the same as the one you think is yours.

Its a easy process so it sounds more complicated than it is.
