Title: Newbie question regarding wallets
Post by: s0litaire on July 26, 2013, 12:16:30 AM
Hi

Tried one of those pool mining sites last year and got around 0.02 But my system was very underpowered (nvidia ION) and I gave up.

I've now got a OK pc for mining and I went back to that site and started mining again.

I forgot what program I used to generate my wallet and can't find any wallet programs listed in any of my backups! (might have been a java based wallet program!)

I realised this just as i sent the 0.02 BTC's to that wallet

So is the 0.02 bitcoins basically lost?

Yap, if you don't have the private key, lost for ever!
