This digital wallet appears to be lost or abandoned. Our client has taken constructive possession of it and seeks to determine if there is a bona fide owner.

This legal notice is posted pursuant to, and in compliance with, applicable law, which is intended to provide an opportunity for the owner to claim property otherwise qualifying as lost or abandoned. The owner is provided ninety (90) days to respond to this Notice. In other words, an owner with valid proof of ownership must respond before October 5, 2025. If no response is received, the digital wallets and their contents, will be considered to be confirmed as abandoned. In sum, the lack of a response may be provided to a court as evidence of the relinquishment of all rights, title and interest in the digital wallets. This is an important legal notice and rights could be adversely impacted if the bona fide owner of this digital wallet does not respond.

Provide proof of ownership either by: (1) using the private key associated with the wallet in any on-chain transaction, such as move contents to a new wallet, which allows the owner to signal ownership while maintaining anonymity and costs an owner nearly nothing; or (2) sending Salomon Brothers a message using the Contact Form (see below) with a detailed description of your valid claim to ownership including supporting documentation. Message can be sent by owner or by owner's representative, to maintain anonymity. Send a message via the Contact Form below.

Our client seeks ownership right to the digital wallet for which no valid owner responds prior to October 5, 2025. Hence forth, no person shall trespass upon, infringe the rights of, nor attempt to extract any digital asset, from this digital wallet without prior written authorization of our client, except for an individual or entity which can show valid proof of ownership. Our client reserves all rights and will act to defend its rights against any trespasser. Those wishing to contact our client may do so using the Contact Form below.

Since we're speculating now: I don't think the keys were lost. As I wrote above (4 years ago), it was worth $30k when it was received. That doesn't sounds like something to lose access to. So my guess is the owner had multiple more addresses, and may have sold some other coins over the years. Just not this input.
A billion bucks That's quite literally a truckload of money.

They called bitcoin as,

Damn, it's now worth almost $550 million at the current price:

Bitcoin address:
They have deleted the articles already, but its good that it has been archived.

Just include this to the millions of bitcoins that has been lost already, making the supply really that scarce. And we can only speculate what's going on their mind seeing the latest bull run.

So they ARE stored on the crypto exchanges. Why did I have to read 25 responses to finally get an answer? Mabey I already know more about BTC than some of you. Thanks to my stepson who knows more about BTC than most of you all.

If you need to recover your Blockchain wallet, you need a few separate pieces of information:

Your Wallet ID (which includes 32 alphanumeric characters and 4 dashes. It takes the following format:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Your password
Control of the email address associated with your wallet (if you have registered an email with your wallet)

How to Change the Email Address Associated with your Wallet

Blockchain has a process to change the email address associated with your wallet. If you can reassert control of the email address, that is generally a faster way to recover access to your wallet.  But, if you have tried to regain control and failed, then this is your last option.

You’re going to need to contact Blockchain's support team and prove to them that you are the rightful owner of the wallet. They will generally ask you for the following information:

    The email address currently associated with the wallet
    The email address that you want them to change it to
    Your Wallet ID (this will be an alphanumeric code that has this format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)
    The date that you created the wallet
    The two-factor authentication type (if any) associated with the wallet
    The SMS number associated with the wallet (if any)

I dont have a BTC adress anywhere anymore and was wondering if i could somehow find out if I have an account in GUIMiner by using my (old e-mail) adress just like Bitminter.
Support@bitminter will send me the remaining funds in my account, but i'm looking for the rest of my btc thats somewhere in a mining program / pool. Maybe I used some other program, have any suggestions? I used to mine on the Imac of my parents and my brothers windows PC (probably was the same software on mac/windows). Any suggestions? Or help?

Was listening to the new Danny Jones podcast this morning on DNA The guy he's interviewing mentions turning information into a number sequence using a SHA256 hash of infomation that can then be put on the blockchain as a "timestamp" are the 41 minute mark.

My guess is the "timestamp" is irrelevant but how you would get that SHA256 hash to the next step I personally dont know right now. Might have already been mention on this thread. Cryptojohn has already mentioned SHA256 & sent some further information. I also mentioned SHA256 in the original post but had no clue what I was talking about & still had to get my head around it.

To me this sounds like where the whole seed/passphrase concept originated (my 8 words & password) could be enough to regenerate the wallet as ive also mentioned before. I had a quick try of one of the programs that's be discussed but may have had the fields mixed up. Tried it once to see what happens then left it.

Anywhoo the guy on Danny Jones then mentions if you were to change one of the letters in the sequence (or even change one of the letters to a capital) the end result changes & that is EXACTLY how I remember it. Pretty crazy when you think about it. Have a quick listen.

I have a very similar story to yours, the fact is that they were testing mnemonics in early May of 2010, I logged into a web service then to be greeted with a mnemonic string.

I do differ in that this wasn't the only thing I was given as mine involves PGP..

Even with massive help, we are left trawling archives for lost concepts and code which has certainly been intentionally removed or lost, changes in op-code structure prevents recovery and the key players won't help or respond, they make out that you have likely been taken for a ride, which on study of our files cannot be the case.

Perhaps we can share findings privately? we relate to theUNIONJACK, we might not be that far away.
