What does this mean - what would happen if I pressed 'Verify Message' button?

It'll probably ask you for a message to verify.

Quote

I'm a little anxious, because earlier when I tried to use the Bitcoin in my Blockchain account a popup appeared and asked me to tap it to transfer the Bitcoin to the wallet from my address, unfortunately I did tap it and I regretted this action immediately, because I lost more than 10 $ by tapping it.

It sounds like a transaction fee. That's normal, but customizable.

Quote

What should I do, which 'Action' could I choose that would maximize the amount of Bitcoin I can use?

I'd export the private key, use Electrum, and manually set the fee.

Quote

If I choose the 'Send' option I can send the full amount of Bitcoin (minus the transaction fee) to an another Bitcoin address?

Probably. But you're using a wallet that isn't recommended and is the source of many topics here about problems it causes. So it's better to never use them again and export your keys.

Thank You All for your answers.

I logged in to my Blockchain account and I found the old address with the Bitcoin in it.

There is a description that says:

"Imported Bitcoin addresses

Imported funds are not protected by your Recovery Phrase. To ensure these funds are secured, please transfer them directly into your wallet.

'Verify Message' (button)"

"Address 12D....
Balance 0,00127 BTC

'Actions'
Manage (menu)

Archive
Private Key
Sign Message
Send

"

I have an old blockchain.com wallet, in 2018 I saved the 12 secret words for it.

I logged in to blockchain.com in 2024 and I saw my Bitcoin address with the Bitcoin amount, but I couldn't use it because it wasn't in a wallet.

The blockchain.com wallet always gives weird and unresolved bugs. Did you try the forgot password wallet option?

And you said you saw the address and balance then why you said it wasn't in a wallet? You mean kind of watch only wallet?

Hi, I need some advice on how I could get my Bitcoin address back.

What you have is your Bitcoin wallet, and what you need is recover your wallet to access your bitcoin.

There is nothing if you have your Bitcoin address, as you only can check it balance with Bitcoin block explorers, or import that address to have a Watch-only wallet that is unspendable.

You have wallet seed words, so you can import it to Electrum wallet, choose BIP39.

In this thread, there are steps for import it to Electrum. [Guide] Use CPFP if your stucked transactions from blockchain.com wallet

Use Electrum wallet safely.

How could I find out if that address is a blockchain.com address?

The only way to be sure, is to find that address in your account. But it looks like you already found it there.

Blockchain.info: To recover an old legacy Blockchain.info wallet, read this topic and go here.
Blockchain.info: In some cases, Blockchain.info (now .com) shows a compressed private key while the address was uncompressed. Read this topic.

My guess is it could have to do with the last option in this list.

Hi, I need some advice on how I could get my Bitcoin address back.

I have an old Bitcoin address created in 2014 with 0.00127 Bitcoin on it, I would like to get this Bitcoin back.

The Bitcoin address probably is a blockchain.com address, but I don't know for sure. How could I find out if that address is a blockchain.com address? If it's even important in this case.

I have an old blockchain.com wallet, in 2018 I saved the 12 secret words for it.

I logged in to blockchain.com in 2024 and I saw my Bitcoin address with the Bitcoin amount, but I couldn't use it because it wasn't in a wallet.

I needed validate my blockchain.com account, after I did that, I got a new wallet (probably a DeFi wallet?) and I didn't see the address anymore.

Should I restore my old wallet to solve this problem?

Can I only restore my old wallet at blockchain.com or could I restore it at another provider?

Thank You for your answer in advance!
