GUYS!!!! So this thing is now at 3 yrs and 34 weeks as we speak, however at some point...the 122k approx coins came into the wallet as a ballance and I successfully transferred them out to an exchange! Recovered approx 2k USD. Still gonna let this sync and see if any more coins "show up" lol.

I cant thank you guys enough!

Now....I'm going to see if I have any Vertcoin, cuz apparently I was mining that too.

I downloaded wowdoge, I have no idea how to locate the "dumppirvkey". I have the Dogecoin Core wallet. I looked under everything and couldnt find dumpprivkey

Don't want to celebrate just yet....it shows 0 balance in wallet and is syncing very slowiy.

Also the sync says "4 years and 2 weaks behind".........it'll take me 4 years and 2 weeks just to sync!!

According to liveblockcypher, I have 114,848.408251  Doge coins. So do I have to wait for this thing to sync before sending them? 

I don't know how to insert an image...but i downloaded Doge coin wallet, replaced the .dat file...I can see the past transactions. But this thing has been syc'ing with the network for at least a day and it's stuck on 4 years 3 weeks. LoL, I guess that's when I used to mine.

I've accepted the fact that it's lost....no harm in seeing if I can recover anything though. Does this mean it might be recoverable??

Also, I have separate folders for the Doge/Vert coin so I know which .dat file is which (thankfully)...also I can see the Doge coin transactions. So I think I have a little luck on my side 

I was tech dumb...still am. I was mining Doge and Vert....yes i have wallet.dat. So will any wallet do and just replace the file? Any recommended wallets for the 2?

Guys, I used to mine not rly knowing what I was doing. This was in 2013/2014, somewhere around this time. I had someone build me a rig and I just mined because I had free electricity. Anyways, long story short, I pulled the plug on it and sold the rig....

Now I'm back into crypto but on the investing side....and I thought man did I ever back this stuff up? I go in storage, found a small USB, plug it in to my computer and I see 2 wallet addresses, and a .dat file.

1)Hashfaster
2)Multipool

Besides the wallet addresses, and the .dat file, I have no further info.

Is there any way to retrieve/recover/or transfer this into MyEtherWallet or an exchange? Or am I just SOL?

My co-worker that mines ethereum and sia coins says i'm screwed.

Any hope for me ?

Awesome! Thanks guys for the help. I have a background with stocks, so I'm very familiar with the principals and fundamentals. All great responses! Thank you guys!

Hey guys, I'm all signed up with binance, coin square, and coin base. I already funded my binance and hold a bit of XRP/TRX....just to get my feet wet.
Can anyone share resources on where I can learn about different coins, coin news, ICO's I can purchase. Swing trades and long term holds? I'm clueless as to where I can find info on this stuff. Any help or a point in the right direction would help....mean time, I'm combing through this site.
