If I install a really old Bitcoin Core on old pc with Windows XP (offline), set the system clock to 2010, could it trick the software into generating the same address/private key as an early miner's wallet (e.g., one that mined 50 BTC in 2010 and lost his wallet Grin)?


We all want that! Isn't it?

You read the replies and that's where blockchain comes into play. It's not your system or wallet, it's more of where blockchain stands and how it is secured today.

There's no shortcut available for anything, especially not in Bitcoin market! Get into mining, invest into rigs and electricity and earn rewards like everyone else does.  Smiley
