Well, so I decided to dig a little deeper.... I found a wallet.dat file, a .lock file, and a bitcoin client version 0.4.0-beta.

But it is showing up as an empty wallet with no listings on the block explorer.

I am a bit a noob, but I am absolutely positive I mined a handful of coins back when I was messing around back then.....

I have a distinct memory of like encrypting it or something.... could someone give me the 2 sentence run-down on how that all might have worked back then and how it is possible that the wallet is now showing a 0 balance?

No joke, lol

I have seriously been a bit depressed over the though lately >.<

Thank you

Well, I suppose I am the 960*posts/page^th newb to say Howdy

I had a Bitcoin wallet I mined myself like 4 years ago...... had somewhere around 100 coins in it

I was just fooling around and have since formatted, hammered upon, and generally have no idea which hard-drive the wallet was on.

Ah well, no time like the present to check everything out again, right?
