Title: HDD full of files, any worth…? (ethereum mining) Post by: lI_Simo_Hayha_Il on February 23, 2021, 10:22:20 PM Few years back, when the Ethereum started, I downloaded "geth" for Windows and started mining. I had it running 24/7 for several months with my (then) top of the line VGA.
After noticing that the Electricity bill was very high, and I realized that I cannot compete in a country with that expensive electricity, so I stopped it. However, I kept all the generated files locally. Now I have a folder structure of: /Ethererum
First it looks like I have a copy of folders, so I had it running in /Ethereum and at some point I had another instance running in /Ethereum/geth Under both "chaindata" folders there are ~60K files of "dddddd.ibd" files and some others like CURRENT, LOCK, LOG, LOG.old, MANIFEST-xxxxxxx. I do not have an account, or wallet, neither I connected to some address. Just had it mining by running "geth.exe" (Windows). Now I am on Linux, installed geth and tried to run it with "geth --datadir "/Ethereum" When I did that, I am getting tons of logs like this: Code: INFO [02-22|11:02:52.835] Deep froze chain segment blocks=30001 elapsed=4.158s number=1650054 hash="c17d88…0914ff" Is there any use of these files? Did I have my work saved anywhere? What can I do now? Did I mine for someone else and now I have nothing...? |
