Old-crypto dust reclaimer

Help holders of old wallets find and safely consolidate small crypto balances

Problem
A user dug up very old Bitcoin wallet backups and found small leftover amounts they had ignored back when they were worth little; today the combined pile is worth over $10k, but they don't know how to safely consolidate or spend it.
Solution
A locally run old-wallet consolidation assistant: import local wallet backups (common legacy formats), scan balances offline and summarize; estimate current fees and compare batching vs one-time spending; produce a read-only report while signing and broadcasting happen on the user's own device so private keys never leave local.
Users
Non-technical people who bought crypto years ago and just rediscovered old backups.
MVP
Import 2-3 common legacy wallet backup formats; offline balance scan and summary; fee estimate and consolidation advice; generate a read-only report; never touch private keys, only parse and display.
Revenue
One-time purchase, or a transparent success fee on consolidated amounts (fully compliant).
Why now
High crypto prices make forgotten dust meaningful again, while existing wallet software poorly supports legacy backup formats and average users lack safe tools.
