Thanks very much for your help.

I can now see I have (@ 23:30 GMT) 205 USD of Bitcoin.
I bought 0.6 Bitcoin in 2013 and bought something for marginally less, and I now have 0.02129 Bitcoin

So no retirement yet Smiley

SO your wallet is with Blockchain.info?

You'll need to go to them. Try to use your pass phrase and password to recover your wallet. I assume you don't have your private keys since you didn't list it in your OP.

Start here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/help

Recover access to your wallet and then see if there's a balance. Actually...what's your Bitcoin address? We can find out now if there is any balance.

Hi,

A few years ago I bought some Bitcoin to buy a subscription. I think there was a fraction of Bitcoin in change.
I never bothered with this, but now it could be worth looking at.

I have this info in a text file:

A long pass phrase
A password
An identifier string
Bitcoin address
deposit into address
blockchain.info

Any idea how I could use this to try and find out if I have any Bitcoin?

Thanks,

You can use the bitcoin adress on https://blockchain.info/ and see if there's any balance.

If so, it might be worth trying to login here -> https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/ with the identifier + your passphrase / password.

I believe only blockchain.info uses an identifier like that, so your bitcoins are probably stored there.

Do you by any chance also have a long list of random words? (And by list i mean 12-13 words.)

If so, try and import those words into a wallet such as electrum, to see if that wallet holds any bitcoin. https://electrum.org/#home

(Although i'm not too sure if electrum supports the bip seed generation of blockchain.info by default. If not you'll need to try it in a different hardware wallet.)
