What they did

He had Grok Bot search his old emails from 2017 to 2022 for anything wallet-related. It found 117 records, traced the wallet addresses and checked them, turning up about $1,900 to $2,000 in crypto he had forgotten about.

How it went

A list of old wallets and exchange accounts, with any that still hold money.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Old emails can contain passwords or seed phrases; keep the bot to public addresses and never let it move funds. Poster works in crypto.

Prompt
