I suppose I could sign a message.  Something like this is "FirstDev on Bitcointalk.org.  It's not a terrible idea.  This way I could get the help I need with my node(s).

All of the information pertaining to addresses and coins are in the application.  This was before wallet.dat.  In order to move coins from one address to another a transaction must be made.  Im not sure how it works now as I haven't sent any transactions since before the wallet.dat upgrade.    I think I might be stuck with raw transactions.  Unless I can build a QT like interface that will show my coins together like before.  I most certainly dont want to load 20k addresses.  I would be happy with one for now. Lol.  The problem that im having though is the only pair that I know is a pair because my addresses are obscured, my keys are not, is block 2.  So because I would like to remain anonymous and not attract a sh#+ f#^% ton of attention i need help getting my client working.  I would like to remain anonymous for the sake of my family and for the sake of the community.  I dont want fame, if I can help it.  If I move coins from block 2 it significantly devalues rhe true value of the coins in block 2.  I realize the face value of said block is close to 5million USD.  The real value of said block should be worth more like 500million-1Billion USD in a collectors type situation.  I also have the Genesis block and associated signature to sign said block.

Thank you for the reply.  There are no wallet.dat files.  This is before the age of wallet.dat.  More like the era where they were stored in coins.cc or something of that nature.  It is difficult for me to find as I never renamed the original files for security reasons.  Just incase there was access to my machine and someone happened to be looking for "coins.cc".

I have a bitcoin application from 2009.  I would like to try to get it running again to see what's in it?  Any help?  I have it saved on windows 7.  It was last accessed via VM on windows 7.  I believe the file to be from Windows XP or from windows vista.  I have a block with the corresponding signature and id like to use atleast one for my family.  Anyone willing to help?

Who cares?  I think most of the people who are fascinated with the story behind it haven't connected the reason for Satoshi anonymity.  It adds value to the system.  Or it did in the early days.  Satoshis anonymity is coming close to an end.  Full adoption is here.  Perfect timing, Perfect plan.  I began to worry heavily about this is 2023 with the coming age of AI.  Bitcoin is so much bigger than Satoshi at this point that it doesn't even matter.  When you drink your favorite coffee in the morning do you know who invented it?  Probably not unless you're like me and you used to be a coffee bro.  When you flip on your lights do you know or think about who invented the light bulb?  The answer is probably NO.  Most people care about the value in the product itself.  When you spend a US dollar do you think about the creator?

Im so confused.  Im not exactly sure what you're asking Henark.  Why choose the name Henark?  Thanks for the 17 pages of help.  You're actually the only other person besides H that has even remotely taken the effort to try to help with anything since 2004.  Adam never responded to anything even though its his claim to fame.  H actually had to send me Adam's files to study.  Maybe Im a little irritated that Adam said "we have a good banking system."  Lol
