<p>I think in late 2010 the first mining pools emerged. Could it be that you have been contributing your CPU Power to a mining pool and this was your credentials. If that was the case and you never cashed out your Bitcoin I guess you will not be able to access your coins unless you figure out which pool it was and see if the pool still exists</p>

<p>who is the best most reputable bitcoin recovery company?
I have added details and questions about our situation below<br>
Thank you
And God Bless</p>

<p>what was the mining program from the devs back then? I remember a pop up kinda like a dos window and it dispalyed the key and said somthing like write this down we will not give it to you again...
I also remeber a pass sentance proram that could be used to recover somthing if you entered in you full sentace string..</p>

<p>I have been out of crypto since I mined a few blocks way back then and I have my keys so do i just download and sink the wallet first?
remeber I did this long ago and was hoping to located the mining program from way back then to read the readme and refresh my memory.
Also back then you could contact a dev to help you,,
thanks in advance for helping out a old man trying to pay a few bills.</p>

<p>Sorry guys I am old sick with cancer so I do not want anyone to think I am lazy to ask questions like this. I believe what I found are my entropy codes. I remember seeing a sit down report on CNBC back in the day about Silk Road and weather or not bitcoin was a legitimate coin ect and they spoke for a good bit at length and they told you where to download the program and I thought the blocks was 50 at a time? It was a long time ago. I had ignored the boom from a few years ago to embarrassed and to and sick to care what ever happened to my codes / keys until I found my old drives and then my old codes. I do not remember it being a pool but if it was my guy is saying it was from the dev teams or team. It was a pop up miner and it would not have much on he display in the small little box. Just your mined coin count and a splash code that said something like write this down you will not get it again and will need it for us to help you recover your coins ect.</p>

BIP32/BIP39 (the specification for the system you are describing) did not exist in 2010, so this could not have happened.

First, please don't post any actual data. In what format did you find the keys? Did you find a `wallet.dat` file? Else, do you have the raw keys?

Could you please provide more information about the format of what you found? Is it a list of words or just a single string of letters and numbers?
