Hello all; is there any number or id that determine uniquely the BTC value. otherwise; is there any hash or address or key that when found we could say this is my 50BTC or my 20BTC ?.

Hi Ben,

not sure if this is the right mailing list for that. I think it rather belongs to bitcoin-discuss.

And I am also not sure if I understand your question. What you may mean is the private key of a user. If you find this, you can spend his funds and also prove that you own the funds.

Depending on your level of understanding of Bitcoin, this blogpost may be insightful for you: http://www.michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-actually-works/

All the best Henning
