In 2010, you came across a site that was giving away bitcoins. The site said it was free money so you signed up. You were logging in to figure out how it was money but couldn't. The last time you logged in you had more than 100 bitcoins. Later you forgot about the site until 2017 when a ponzi was advertising Bitcoin. Bitcoin? The name rang a bell and you stated hearing stories. You remembered you must have many bitcoins somewhere but you can't even remember the name of the site. How would you recover your BTC?

lol after 7 years?and you have no wallet?just the bitcoin from the specific site?is that a exchange?or just a random site that gives away bitcoin that time?

anyway if you cannot even remember the site so what more if there are other details you need to remember.

forget it,and start accumulating bitcoin now to earn in future as you have already experienced the regret of having this wayback 2010

Something like your own story?

I had some forgotten bitcoin but it aint that large. Something like hundred thousands of satoshis.
Mostly it was when faucets was really hyped.
Earned it all and it redirects to another faucet website with list of where you could get some satoshis in exchange for captcha.
But there is a withdrawal fee, although it could be adjusted I already forgot them all.

You cannot do anything about it anymore since it is not yet yours until you send it to your own wallet.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and I failed to recover the coins despite trying everything I could. I received some altcoins as a bonus for my work and forgot about them. Later during the 2017 bubble the price of those coins skyrocketed, and I tried to access them, but couldn't find the wallet file on my computer. I used hard drive recovery tools and found some wallet.dat file, but it was corrupt and couldn't be opened. Looking at hex dump, it looks like large parts of it were already overwritten by other data.

So, generally recovery will either be very easy if you have the right password and wallet, or effectively impossible.

What a sad story pal... I don't know whether to feel good that I ain't too early discovering bitcoin, and I don't have such experience

It's a pity when we realize that we wasted a lot of bitcoin from the past where bitcoin still wasn't that popular. And now, we're regretting everything.
For op, it would be hard for you to recover that bitcoin. A little chance or probably no change of recovering it. I mean, it was such a long time (if it's a real story). 7 years, but if the site was still alive, try remembering your account as much as possible, but if the site isn't available already, then I guess, you need to move on.

if the site is still alive maybe they will freeze your account or banned your account that's what happened, because we know 100 BTC at that time was not worth the price this year, I once left my first site to get free bitcoin from a roll game, after several long time I access it again, my fund is gone

If you singed up that site using your email then you can find that site and recover. But most of the sites give away sites gone. So there is less hope to get back your btc.
Note: If you don't have any key or seed of your coin.then that coin is not yours.because site owner can scam you.

The most important thing there is the website and the email and password you use there.
Without the website domain or without the website even being online, there is a 0% chance to recover no matter how many or how lease your bitcoin amount there.

As others have said, such a site would very likely already cease to exist and any coins in such a site would be lost. OP is talking about an imaginary situation in which he/she can not even remember the name of a page on which he/she may have some BTC. Pretty pointless, and if there was such a situation, in reality, it would make no sense at all to think about it.

We can see people who are trying to recover their coins from long-time forgotten files on their PC, or deleted files. Even that is sometimes extremely difficult, although they know what and where to look.

I don't know if it was a true story or is it your imagination!!!
But if you say that you registered since 2010, this means about ten years and if the site still exists and you have not entered since that time,
It means that they have deleted your account for sure because most sites delete accounts Inactive after a period of time.
So forget it.

Basically, if the site is already 10 years and I'm pretty sure they've already stopped providing free bitcoin on their faucets, as long as they are not a gambling site, there's no reason for them to still continue. It is clear at this time that faucets aren't providing decent bitcoin now, and it is impossible that there are still people funding that site, so there's a huge chance that the domain is already down.

OP is not talking about his own experience, but maybe just imagination. Do not remember anything about site, then you cannot access or restore your BTC there.

You have to understand the problem first, he says he cant even know the site he is visiting. So the suggestion to reset the password is not the right suggestion in my opinion.

Lol. I guess the simple answer is you can't. Just accept the fact that it's already something that got away from you. It's the same as the pizza that was bought in a couple of btcs around that many years ago. We didn't know back then that bitcoin would end up like this so i don't think one should feel regret over not taking bitcoin seriously when it was just starting. If the same thing would happen now with another new currency, i think most of us will still react the same way.

Click the "forgot password" button. But if you forget the password of mail or whatever you signed up with, there will not be much you can do for it. In addition, the situation of the site is another issue. The site was probably shut down a long time ago. If you have actually experienced something like this, it is best to give us more information about the site so that we can understand your situation.

I don't think it's already possible recover btc from a ponzi website, moreover if these funds were deposited in 2010.

If it was back in 2010 and all of your Bitcoin was in the site the question is do you think that the site would still give it to you ?
Do you think that those sites back in 2010 that is giving out free bitcoin or a faucet could still give you 100 BTC right now even if you remember the sites name?
To be honest I think that the site that you are trying to remember has been down for a long time now.

I think this is very slim our hope to restore a site that has been almost 10 years let alone we do not remember the site that we explored in 2010, because it's quite a long time, I personally will definitely do something to restore it in How to explore the history of cloud synchronization in our cellphones, might help us get the data we explored in that year.

If you registered on any site you will have to confirm the email that you registered to those sites, so all you have to do it to do research on all the sites that you verified, hopefully you are not the kind that deletes messages, this will be tedious and it will take weeks, but we are talking of hundreds or more Bitcoin, so you will need to be patient on this, I have done this when I was very active on faucets.

Then there's no way for you to recover your bitcoins, simply as that.

You can't even remember the site, so I'm sure you also don't remember your wallet and obviously you don't have the private key. And do you think that the owner of that site wouldn't 'steal' that bitcoin from you?. So the chances are zero here, sorry to burst the bubble for you.

There is a strong probability that the site where the 100 Bitcoin can be located is already dead or gone therefore it would already be impossible to retrieve them. When a person can not remember anymore the site where digital assets can be stored then the retrieval process can not commence, this is just a very important common sense. This is the reason why one must have a book or a record of the things he has registered with, who know years from now something can come up and there is a need to review the records. Now, the lessons in this story can be applied whether one is involved in cryptocurrency or not, online or not.

It's true, it would be impossible but who knows. Maybe the website is still there and retrievable. If he may be able to remember every detailed information, he will be lucky to retrieve every piece of his funds.
But there is also a chance that the website is already dead. If this happens, no more ways to withdraw the fund and will be put to waste.

9 long years and you didn't even consider to take note about the website, you should have saved pieces of information you have used when you signed up on that website. If you totally forgot about the website, then your chances are very low to recover your bitcoin. It is hard to recover something if you don't even know yourself what you are looking for.
