Does chaindata contain coins?

[ek247]

Hope somebody can help me,

Back in 2015 I tried to mine eth and litecoins, I comepletely forgot about it until recently when I connected my old HDD back to my PC.
I have found an ETC folder in the roaming profile which is approximately 5 GB along with a Litecoin folder of similar size. Is it possible to see if I successfully mined any old ETC or Litecoins coins?

I have had some luck already where I had an airdrop of Decred and manage to recover the coins using the seed key provided which I managed to keep safe.

Thanks.

No chaindata does not contain coins, it basically contains the ledger. Your coins would be stored within keystore folder for ETH and in wallet.dat file for LTC.

Thanks for the reply, looks like I have nothing then as Keystore is blank.

You need either the Private key for your matching public key (wallet address), or the seed of the wallet you used to restore it.
This is always the first thing i print or write down. Sounds like your coins are forever lost in that ledger....
