hey guys wanted to take an opinion if there is any chance i can get back a blockchain wallet i lost many years ago wich has plenty btc inside. i can only find the reciever i cant find the wallet id.
Is there any way i can find the wallet id nowdays with my reciever?

The first thing to do is remember what email address you have been used on that wallet, if you have an old email address, search "Blockchain" on the search box above on your email address account, it must be there if your email address associated with that wallet.  Once you found the wallet ID it needs a password to have full access to it.  If ever you didn't remember, you can brute force it once you have a wallet ID and full control of your email account.
Just follow this step on how to Brute-force your online blockchain.info wallet with btcrecover.

If you don't have these 3 important keys, you wont access your wallet, it should you have these, email address, wallet ID and the password.

I suspect the answer will be no.

Yes, I'm afraid their funds have been long bagged by xapo, see:

Update.
I got an email from support regarding my account.
And this is the statement:
Quote
Early last year, we were required to take action on our older, unverified accounts in order to comply with know your customer (KYC) regulations. This resulted in closing down any Xapo accounts that were identified as dormant (inactive for over 12 months), had missing mandatory information to fulfill KYC regulations, or had zero balance.
And once the account is closed, it cannot be reactivated.

@Xronin, Coinbase seems to have removed some old dormant accounts as well but I see that you have more chances when it comes to recovery compared to xapo provided that you can back your claims.

OP: Cant access my Coinbase account from 2013. Website support not helping.

I've messaged and opened a case twice. "Support" has messaged back with two seemingly automated replies being :

" It looks like you are reaching us from an email address that was deleted from your Coinbase account. For security purposes, please email us from the current email address associated with your Coinbase account. " and "As an alternative to the account recovery process, you create an account with Coinbase, please follow the directions below:"

coinbasesupport: We're currently investigating your deleted account and we will keep you updated through your ongoing support case. Thanks for your patience here.

[Meta] for further discussion, I recommend starting your own thread so it doesn't get confusing in case OP comes back.

but when I checked with Xapo  they told me my account is closed, because it was not KYC verified
Your only option here is to ask Xapo what they suggest, and if completing KYC now will restore access to your account. I suspect the answer will be no.

i check it today,  then i found the bitcoin is stolen in 2020.
Then there is nothing you can do to reverse the transactions. The coins were stolen years ago and will have tens of thousands of confirmations by now. At most, you could take a look at the withdrawal transaction to find out the attacker's address, and pass that on to law enforcement, although again I suspect they will be less than helpful.

Hello! I joined the crypto community in 2009/2010, until summer 2014 I stopped mining and faucet sites, I also lost my computer with  bitcoin core backup in google drive and two Emails registered in Blockchain/Coinebase/Xapo...I tried to get it back in a year 2016 but I failed.. in fact I forgot.. by the end of 2021 I was able to restore one gmail with a backup wallet, to here it's ok, but when I checked with Xapo  they told me my account is closed, because it was not KYC verified, and in Blockchain is asking 12 word Secret to recover account password.. I really lost a lot but the hit case was when I found a solution for wallet by brutforce, i check it today,  then i found the bitcoin is stolen in 2020.

So..Please I need any help to know how/what can i do, Or if can i cancel the transations, after brutforcing..... Thanks

Roughly how many years ago is this wallet from? Did you ever back up a seed phrase or recovery phrase, which you should have written down on paper?

If you have a 12 word phrase, then you could import this in to any BIP39 supporting wallet.
If you have a phrase of a different length, then it could be an old style blockchain.com recovery phrase which can be imported here: https://login.blockchain.com/wallet/forgot-password

If you have access to the email address used for creating your wallet, search for blockchain in your email inbox. Your wallet ID can be found at bottom of any email they have sent to you.
Just note that even if you can find the wallet ID, you need the password too. Without that you can't access your wallet.

If by the receiver, you mean the address you received your funds from, then no. You can't use that to get your wallet ID. Do you still have access to the email you used to create your account?
