HELP ME WITH BITCOIN TIME STAMPS

Question

OK, so I had several backed up .dat files on google which I put in opentimestamps

I could see that these files had time stamp data... so I uploaded and *****below is what the results were.

What does all this mean?

I just want the bitcoins that I know I have. I had a wallet.dat from a gui miner I downloded on my pc in 2012. This has been a nightmare. I am willing to offer a % of the BTC to anyone who can actually help me. And no python... That just has frustrated me beyond my limits. I have over 50k private keys even more addresses. My Bitcoin Core Wallet was on my pc since 2012. I have not run a full node and have since lost access to that pc as it crashed. I have all the backups... anyhow.. my question (sense the frustration yet?)

****** What do I do with this? Please use as much lamen terms as possible. Talk to me as if I am in intro to bitcoin in the 5th grade...

OK, so I had several backed up .dat files on google which I put in opentimestamps

Bitcoin core stores wallet data ina file named wallet.dat so that was one of your .dat files.

Opentimestamps is just a service that provides proof that a document existed on a specific date. It doesn't store the contents of the documents.

You therefore have proof that your wallet.dat existed but that is of no use to you.

I just want the bitcoins that I know I have. I had a wallet.dat

You need to find either

• that wallet.dat and any password you used to protect it
• or a written copy of the "private key" that the wallet contained.

Otherwise all the money that was in that wallet is forever lost and unusable.
