Good afternoon guys,
I just registered because I was searching a way to check a private key that I found on one of my old pc at home.

Short story, I have this private key, but not sure at what crypto currency it belongs (surely not BTC/LTC) and I was wondering if there was a way to check if the private key belongs to a specific coin automatically without trying for each crypto (I saw that I can do it via GUARDA wallet, but it will take days). An additional point would be to get also the balance in it, if 0, makes no sense to proceed further.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Are you sure the wallet or coin you're trying to have access to belongs to you, i expect that you should know the number of wallet you make use of as well as the crypto coins you're holding, but you have no clue on all these and yet want to crack the coin a particular private key unlocks, maybe for security reasons you may have to check well on your archive if you once store them with description or not, also from the way you're sounding, this means its likely you have a particular private key for each of the coins you're holding and that may be getting more complicated for you handling them all.

It happens sometime that people lost info about their wallets of coins. During these years we have seen tons of experiments and many many coins-crypto-chains and so on...
I don't think this is the case. It can happens to save private keys without writing what was the coin .
But your comment it is something useful since there are many scas triggered with priv key. The worst was with TRX however this is not be the case due priv key format.
