Hello,

Don't know if you are still around but a friend and I might be able to help you.

Thanks to technology improvement (and my friend being and crypto algorithm genius) we have a wallet recovery tool that is immensly more effective than everything else. Some wallets that use to be lost forever can now be saved!

We are new to this, hence the low number of messages here, but it is very possible that we can help you recover your wallet if you still need help.

We are well aware this space is full of scammers so just so you know :

> We are not going to ask for any money or info from you upfront
> We are doxxed and willing to do a video call with you to prove it
> Anything you'll need to feel safe we'll do if possible

Just contact me via DM or via [email protected] and we'll talk to see if our technology can solve your situation.

Looking forward to hear from you if we can help,
newbie

Alphanumeric like all the possible characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z, or it looks like a subset, hex or base58?

It can't be base58 if it has an "l", "I", 0 or "O" on it. And given that there are letters other than a-f, it can't be hex either.

It looks like this

NNNNN-dNNNNNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX N=Number d=lowercase d X=numbers and letters

The - is in the number string in the email

Alphanumeric...Actually(not sure if this is going to help) It's 1-9 and a-z no uppercase letters

It is definitely not a private key then, because they don't have dashes in them.

Most pools let you specify the address you want rewards to be sent to. Its worth checking again if you have any wallets with this address lying around. It's highly unlikely that you used an address without saving the wallet or private key somewhere.

It's also worth checking if you have any strings that start with a 5, those might be the private keys you are looking for.




The first number is a public wallet that is working.  It corresponds to emails from my mining getting payouts during that period in 2011. 

I wish I saved the wallet..can’t find it.  That’s why I’m thinking I made these emails as some type of backup..

NINJA EDIT: I DO NOT THINK ITS ROT13.  I just realized the site I was using https://brainwalletx.github.io/#converter shows everything as rot13.

XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX alphanumeric(this showed as being Rot13 in a converter...but idunno)

Which converter? Detecting a simple letter substitution cipher such as ROT13 works quite nicely on English or other languages, but if it's a private key of sorts this classification is most likely incorrect. Have you tried applying ROT13 to check whether it results in anything meaningful?

It contains the wallet address in normal format.

1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX alphanumeric
Have you checked the balance of the address?
To do so, you can enter the address in a block explorer like blockchair.com.

Not sure where to put this.  Sorry if this is nothing.

I do not have the private key or the wallet.dat.  This could just be a api call thingy for slushpool.  It could be a paper wallet.  I have no idea as I have tried everything I can think of to figure out wtf I did.

I DO HAVE 3 emails that I sent to myself on the day that this wallet was created. The emails have NO information on what they are.

It contains the wallet address in normal format.

1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX alphanumeric

Next email has a number in this format

XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX alphanumeric(this showed as being Rot13 in a converter...but idunno)

Next email has

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX alpha plus special characters

Thanks
