tl;dr: Search for a 12-word restoration phrase which, two years in the past, the app would have requested you to jot down down and maintain protected.
I put in bitcoin.org 2 years in the past.
bitcoin.org is unrelated to bitcoin.stackexchange.com (this web site).
You should utilize the Web Archive (the “Wayback Machine”) to take a look at the bitcoin.org web site because it existed two years in the past.
Principally bitcoin.org lists a variety of independently developed wallets for iPhone
A subdomain of bitcoin.org at pockets.bitcoin.org does promote a pockets.
Nevertheless
- That pockets is not accessible for iPhone (as you famous) nor for Android.
- The “desktop” model for PC has not been maintained for 3 years.
- The distributors, “Crypto Distribution LLC” might have gone out of enterprise
I attempted downloading one other app but it surely’s asking for my wif which I don’t know what’s this.
WIF stands for “Pockets Import Format” and is a approach of writing a non-public key. Personal keys are numbers that can be utilized to regulate (i.e. spend) quantities of Bitcoin. What a pockets incorporates is primarily a listing of personal keys. When you can extract the personal keys from one pockets app, you may, in precept, import them into a distinct pockets app.
To make issues easier, many wallets generate personal keys from a 12-word or 24-word phrase. Such wallets would present this phrase once you first run the pockets and let you know to jot down down the phrases someplace protected. Different pockets apps can, in precept, be given this 12/24-word phrase, enabling you to recuperate management over cash.
At pockets.bitcoin.org it says
Your pockets is secured by 12 phrases, write these phrases down, maintain them protected, and by no means have to fret about dropping entry to your bitcoin or backing up information.
When you did write down thise 12 phrases someplace, utilizing that in a distinct app could also be your finest approach to regain management over the cash within the outdated app.
who ought to i contact
There’s a historical past of individuals having hassle contacting the house owners of the bitcoin.org web site. I consider they do not provide any sort of direct private help.
