A friend of mine had some Bitcoin on his phone a couple of years ago and he's lost that phone which stored the private keys on without any other backup. We can see his balance on the blockchain and he knows his password for the private keys. Is there a way of creating the private key from the bitcoin address and the known password?

Nope. but is good. because don't forget next time.

Yes, private key is always the answer in everything so always have your back up at some piece of paper. It's the least you can do for your precious coin.

If you want to retrieve the coin you must have private keys or the path to your wallets from email
Without them you will not get it back

There is no way to get it back, yes you can still see the balance in blockchain but your friend forgot the private key because you have to save with the private key to keep your bitcoin safe.

When you lost the key to your house, you can still call the locksmith. And tada, everything's gonna be fine. But when you lost the key to your Bitcoin wallet, you cannot call no one. And tada, everything's gone. If the phone is still reachable and rings then you have a chance. But I doubt it because it was lost a couple of years already. I think there's such a thing as good bye after all.

No. Tell your friend to forget about it. Although it is very sad. Your personal keys are needed to rescue your friends Bitcoin. Private keys are the only way to access your bitcoin,but you will not be able to access your address if you lose your keys. Your currency will be lost forever There is no benefit to cry for this. Forget it.

I agree that every wallet we must add the key in order to secure your own bitcoin from those people who have malicious intent. so we do not give a chance to other people to access our account and opening our wallet contents, but we should not forget our own key because we have forgotten it then the risk we will lose the wallet contents or bitcoin we collect with difficulty so useless if we reproach the bitcoin will not return by itself.

Do you have the seed? If you do then you could recreate the wallet and recover your funds, but if you don’t then I’m sorry to tell you that the coins are lost forever, if it was possible to know the private key deriving it by having the address then bitcoin will be incredibly vulnerable to any attack.

This is why there will be instructions to write your private key or seed in physical format. It's never safe to store your private keys and seeds on devices. You can't get that coins back now. It's gone for good.

Your password is useles and you cant get your bitcoin back, you need private key to open your wallet. Are you sure you dont have any backup on cloud storage or anywhere

you need to be very careful when operating your wallet as far as cryptocurrecy is concern,your private key is like your ATM password and when you lost it,you lost access to your account and money,there is no way you will be able to get it back,your bitcoin are gone and you should learn from this lesson that whenever you lost your phone and private key you lost your bitcoin

Sorry if I have to answer, if you have lost it, you need to keep the necessary seed and personal lock information, which is the only way to get your money back.

It is so sad sir but that bitcoin on his phone cannot be recover anymore. Some tip but I want to say that put all the information in a mail so that it is safe all through out the times that has passed. The private key is the thing that is badly needed on all wallets. So remember to store it to safety.

Like others said, its gone forever. Sadly you can not recover it anymore Sad

But hey! At least you/he learned a lesson. Next time you have bitcoins stored, make sure to make a backup (remind your friends too Wink

). A good lesson learned by sacrificing some coins

It is gone forever,i think nothing you can do now. It is the private keys that can only unlock your wallet.

I think its better to suggest on bitcoin coin developer, say a wallet that inactive something like 10 years should be recovered and put to charity.

We do not have actual date but I think there are many btc already that was forgotten or ca not be accessed by owners. At least, bitcoin can be put back in circulation.

Well the only thing for life to make it easier and to move forward is acceptance. Grin

. Sorry but of you will read all the post here, there is no way you could get back your bitcoins. I remember someone asked me to write all the password in a notebook so I always do it just like with my bitcoin. To think that probably it really big now but you have to accept the fact that you should start now and forget it. Harsh truth but is the best way, I guess.

The revolution will be monetized!

I'll try to offer some hope.

IF your friend was using an online app that merely manages a remote wallet then there may be a chance. Some ios wallets, for example, allow you to restore your wallet by re-downloading their app and entering your seed or pass-phrase.

Does your friend know what wallet he was using?
