Title: Does chaindata contain coins? Post by: ek247 on August 19, 2017, 03:43:37 PM Hope somebody can help me,
Back in 2015 I tried to mine eth and litecoins, I comepletely forgot about it until recently when I connected my old HDD back to my PC. I have found an ETC folder in the roaming profile which is approximately 5 GB along with a Litecoin folder of similar size. Is it possible to see if I successfully mined any old ETC or Litecoins coins? I have had some luck already where I had an airdrop of Decred and manage to recover the coins using the seed key provided which I managed to keep safe. Thanks.

Your coins would be stored within keystore folder for ETH and in wallet.dat file for LTC.

This is always the first thing i print or write down. Sounds like your coins are forever lost in that ledger.... |
