Title: Mined bitcoins late 2011/early 2012, trying to access, wallet is showing 0? Post by: planga on January 15, 2014, 03:09:05 PM Looking for some help to determine if I actually have any bitcoins.
I mined them from Dec 2011 to Mar 2012 (according to the log files in my database folder). I have now installed both the bitcoin client and dogecoin. I copied my original wallet.dat over the new ones and the wallet still shows $0. I tried this for the bitcoin client and dogecoin, both shows $0. Am I doing something wrong in trying to access the original data? Is there something else I should try? I'm not completely sure that when I did this that maybe I had to join a website that pooled their resources and bitcoins were distributed from there (is this something that was going on in early 2012?)? Is there a way for me to sift though my original data to verify that bitcoins "should" have been generated? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Copying the original wallet.dat file, should do the trick. To be sure you can do a rescan. If nothing pops up, then there's no money in that wallet. Maybe you still have an account, for pooled mining, that contains the Bitcoins. Title: Re: Mined bitcoins late 2011/early 2012, trying to access, wallet is showing 0?
