hi guys i am a software developer, i mined some btc when it was worth around 1 usd, but for some reason truecrypt software did not work, and so i lost access to the private keys of my btcs, i have some emails on my email account detailing some btc transfers that i did accidentally from the official bitcoin wallet client to some addresses by mistake
<btcdev>
( i am not sure if those addresses where existent at that moment ), is there some way to recover my lost btcs?
<btcdev>
maybe by issuing a patch and sending to me a link to confirm my email address to verify that i was the one that sent the btcs to those addresses?
brunoerg has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<btcdev>
btw my hd was destroyed so the access to the private keys is impossible now

i am not sure if someone answered my question
<sipa>
This channel is about development of the Bitcoin Core software.
<sipa>
And without access to private keys, there is no way to recover coins.
<btcdev>
i have the address of the wallet that i sent the coins from but i dont have the private keys
<btcdev>
there are some btcs at that address but those are unusable as i do not have the private keys anymore, they got completely destroyed forever
<btcdev>
i guess the number of btc can be seen with a blockchain explorer, i am not sure, i only have the address
<btcdev>
and an email as proof that i sent btc from that address
<btcdev>
i know this is bitcoin dev, i thought maybe you can issue a patch
<btcdev>
to recover my btc by using my email address as proof instead of the private keys
<sipa>
Bitcoin funds are not tied to any email address.
<sipa>
If you want to move the coins, you need the private key, sorry.

i know but we can change that with a patch? only for my address
<btcdev>
to discuss that patch is the bitcoin.stackexchange.com then
<btcdev>
right
<btcdev>
?
<sipa>
You're free to create a patch that does whatever you want, but you'll need to convince the world to run it.
vasild has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<sipa>
No, that site is about further questions on how Bitcoin works.
<btcdev>
and where can i discuss this patch?
<sipa>
Not here.
<btcdev>
where then? is not this for bitcoin core dev? like maintenance of the gitcoin source code by issuing patchs and things like that?
<sipa>
If you actually want to propose a protocol change to get your coins back, the procedure would be to discuss it first on the bitcoin-dev mailing list.
<sipa>
But I don't expect you'll get very far in convincing people to adopt your fork.
<btcdev>
ok
<btcdev>
thanks for the info
<sipa>
Bitcoin Core is only one implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, so this is not the place to discuss protocol changes like that. You'll need to write a proposal, and get widespread agreement from the entire community to adopt it.
<btcdev>
i see, i thought this was the main implementation
<btcdev>
also, by having the address from where i sent my btc from
<btcdev>
and the probable ip
brunoerg has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<btcdev>
that i used at that time
<btcdev>
is the ip stored on the blockchain or some other record
<btcdev>
as proof
<btcdev>
instead of just the email address
<sipa>
No. You need the private key.
<btcdev>
ah ok private key completely lost
<btcdev>
forever
<sipa>
And please, go to stackexchange if you have further questions. This channel is for development, not user questions.
<btcdev>
it was a truecrypt encrypted partition
<btcdev>
then i formated the pc
<btcdev>
as the partition became unusable
<btcdev>
ok

i thought its part of the development of such patch to ask if.... with the sender address that i have is enough to see in the blockchain the register that shows how many btcs i had in my wallet? the btcs that i lost the private key
<btcdev>
technically is it like that? is possible to see how many btcs there were at that sender wallet?
<btcdev>
i mined them with a group miner
<btcdev>
shared pool
<btcdev>
with the official bitcoin client i think
<btcdev>
as wallet
